Gucci’s New Collection Celebrates the Year of the Tiger With Flair
Adding ready-to-wear, accessories and pop-up shops for the occasion.
Celebrating The Year of the Tiger, Gucci has launched its “Gucci Tiger” collection and campaign, in addition to creating exclusive pop-up experiences to help ring in the festivities.
Collection items include Gucci T-shirts with graphic tiger head iconography and the phrase “Gucci Tiger” – in block-letters – stacked above, a large font “GG” logo-laden cardigan with contrasting Gucci-green placket and a black pullover that features an archival “GG” circular logo with a full display tiger icon splashed across the front. Also making an appearance is a tan “GG” print sports jacket with contrasting Gucci-navy, red and white sleeves and cuffs.
Under the helm of creative director Alessandro Michele, the house’s new collection also bolsters the designer’s affinity towards nature, with a reworking of Gucci’s 1960’s “Flora” motif incorporated onto wallets, loafers, slides, watches and shoulder bags; set against a soft pastel color palette. An accessory highlight is the vibrant turquoise leather handbag with tan “GG” print overlay and red “Gucci Tiger” block-lettering.
Ready-to-wear and accessory “Tiger” collection items will be made available on February 1, and a series of “Gucci Pop-Ups” are also being activated to celebrate the year. Dedicated store experiences will be held at the brand’s Holt Renfrew Yorkdale and Holt Renfrew Vancouver locations – opening January 14 and 17. Pop-in creativity can be experienced at the New York Wooster Street, Chicago Michigan Avenue, Las Vegas Forum Shops, Santa Clara Valley Fair and Manhasset boutique locations.
