Can’t Travel To The Blockbuster Gucci Garden Exhibition In Florence? We Bring It To You

Because you know, Covid.

Turning the big 100 in the middle of the pandemic has made Gucci come up with some of the most extravagant and innovative ways to celebrate.

In between screening the Aria collection in April, which saw creative director Alessandro Michele “hacking” Demna Gvasalia‘s design codes at Balenciaga, and prepping for a centennial show in Los Angeles in November, the brand has launched a blockbuster exhibition at its Gucci Garden building in Florence.

Michele chose to curate the Gucci Garden Archetypes exhibition around ad campaigns “because they are the most explicit journey into my imagery”.

Titled Gucci Garden Archetypes, the multimedia exhibition is an ode to some of Michele’s most memorable campaigns for the house ever since he took on the reins as creative director in 2015.

Spread across the many rooms of the Gucci Garden are 15 imaginative hyper-real scenescapes that were plucked from ad blitzes such as the Glen Luchford-directed Spring/Summer 2016 campaign that was inspired by Berlin nightlife and took place in a pink restroom.

While fans may not have the luxury to experience Gucci’s visual playground that’s filled with graffitied walls and mythical ark-builders, intergalactic explorers, horses, dancers, angels in the flesh, Gucci Garden is hosting a virtual tour of the exhibition for two weeks only starting May 17.
