Okay, so today, let’s dive into my little adventure of messing around with this “face of Gucci” thing. You know, Gucci, that fancy Italian brand that everyone’s crazy about.
First, I started by just poking around the internet to see what’s the deal with Gucci and who’s been the “face” and stuff. Turns out, a guy named Stefano Cantino has been the CEO since like, October 2024, and this other dude, Sabato De Sarno, became the creative director in January 2023. Big shots, huh?
Then I found out that this guy Jin from the super famous group BTS is now a Gucci global brand ambassador. That’s huge! And apparently, BTS has sold over 40 million albums worldwide, which is just nuts. Makes sense why Gucci picked him, right? They are popular!
Next, I dug a bit deeper and learned that Gucci is owned by this French company called Kering. They’ve got a bunch of other luxury brands under their belt too, like Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. It’s like a whole world of fancy stuff that I barely know about.
But here’s a fun bit I stumbled upon: back in 2018, Harry Styles, you know, the guy from One Direction, he was the face of Gucci’s tailoring line. And the pictures, oh man, he’s posing with chickens and dogs, all dressed up in these sharp suits. It’s kind of hilarious and cool at the same time. It was really interesting!
- Checked who’s running Gucci now.
- Discovered Jin from BTS is a big deal for them.
- Learned about Kering, the big boss behind Gucci.
- Found those quirky Harry Styles photos.
So, I spent a good chunk of my day just piecing all this together. It was kind of a fun ride, getting a peek into how these big brands work and who they get to represent them. The whole “face of Gucci” thing is more than just a pretty face; it’s about the music, the style, and reaching out to millions of people.
It’s all pretty interesting when you start looking into it. You realize there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes with these brands than you’d think. It is a good day!
