Product Description

Review

"Glamour, greed, sex, style, and very, very good leather goods -- what more can you ask for (besides a 30 percent discount)?"
--Michael Gross, author of "Model
"Fashion has never been so dramatic -- and dangerous. The saga of three generations of the Gucci family opens with an execution-style murder in Milan and penetrates the world of one of the hottest fashion labels of our time. Fashion insider Sara Forden spins the tale of how a bunch of greedy, bickering Guccis lost control of the empire that made GG synonymous with loafers."
--Teri Agins, fashion writer, "Wall Street Journal, and author of "The End of Fashion


Product Description

The startling and dramatic true story behind the murder of Maurizio Gucci, and the rise, fall, and rise again of the Gucci dynasty. The House of Gucci tells a riveting story of high fashion, high finance, and heartrending personal tragedy.

even if you don't care about fashion or even if business bores you, you will enjoy this book. there's plenty of action, intrigue and even murder as three generations of guccis battle over their company. the writing is always clear and well paced . the research is all well documented. whether your preference in book vears more towards fiction or towards history, you won't be ableto put this book down .

4.0 out of 5 stars Italian intrigue with the family history of high fashion, 14 Jan 2006
This review is from: The House of Gucci (Paperback)
As a fine read this works well. It also serves splendid insights into the family and motives behind a huge fashion empire. As a blueprint for success the candour and research give valuable hints of the twists and turns the Gucci empire took to reach its prominence today.
