Gucci is offering so much to me right now, its hard not to be filled with want. I often picture myself strolling with a Greenwich leather and python shoulder bag, wearing a flowing dotty chiffon blouse in my skinny’s, topped off with their wide-brim rabbit fedora and some killer boots. And now, at the end of this picturesque fashion stroll I’m stepping into my new Fiat500 by Gucci.
Italian life and style has always captured my heart and so this fusion of two great design icons has melted it further.
Gucci’s creative director, Frida Giannini is responsible for the custom additions to the Fiat 500 design,
celebrating the fashion houses 90th anniversary, and doing it in a perfect style.
I was lucky enough to see the car first hand at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this summer so was able to observe and absorb first hand the result of the collaboration.
So, what does it look like?
Available in two colours, black or white, each has its bumper trim, shoulder line and wing mirror caps highlighted with a chrome touch. The wheels have not been forgotten in their 16-inch alloy glory finished with Gucci logos, with the Gucci name celebrated on the boot lid and inside the car itself.
The notorious red and green stripe wraps itself around the cars exterior, and it continues to absorb itself further into the design by appearing on the seatbelt, seats and floor mats.
I have no doubt that this Italian masterpiece will be popular with the stylish of both sexes, however as a girl on the constant search for the perfect accessory, it has ended my search, for now.
It is the last accessory for any occasion, to anybody’s outfit.
