The Throw Back 1973 Gucci Logo

I just needed to get this out of my system, the throw back Gucci logo is really really ugly. It is grandmother-ish and vintage in a “has been” kind of way. Which actually describes the entire Fall collection with this logo. Maybe I’m totally off base and they have a specific customer they are going … Continue reading “The Throw Back 1973 Gucci Logo”

Instead of using the name Gucci, they decided to prove themselves (and avoid being sued by their own family) by using just the G. They’ve distinguished their line with a less fussy, borderline … Continue reading “To Be G Suede and Leather Hobo”
