combining tradition
with modernity

Can wearing a logo and other house codes be viewed as vain? Gianni Versace loved to provoke and when other brands succumbed to minimalism, he stayed true to himself and his own aesthetic. He designed his logo ironically by including the head of the mythological Medusa, who was supposed to warn against fatal attraction and vanity. In one interview Donatella Versace recalls how she asked her brother about this choice, and how he answered that “those who fall in love with the Medusa have no way back”. The collections of the Italian fashion house are indeed not easy to miss – they stand out with a Met Gala red carpet. That wasnt the first time Gucci showed that patterns.

Gucci:
exclusive or inclusive?

It’s impossible to discuss the logo without mentioning the name that has changed the history of American fashion (and not only that). Dapper Dan was born in Harlem – a neighbourhood of New York full of contrasts and inhabited in large part by Afro-Americans. In 1982, inspired by his own travels, Dapper Dan decided to use his cleverness and tailoring skills to create a store open around the clock that offered custom fashion described by the designer as an “Africanization of the premium European brand”. He turned products with monograms known to fashion fans into unique designs beloved by Black artists, in particular by rising stars of hip-hop. As time went on, he began to recreate the iconic fashion house logo patterns by himself, which appeared as early as 1816 due to their clarity and legibility even in 1992. The somewhat forgotten “bootlegging” designer made headlines once again when during the Gucci Cruise 2018 show one of the models LOUIS VUITTON PRESENTS designed for Diane Dixon in the late ‘80s. This obvious inspiration stirred uproar on the Internet, which resulted in a collaboration capsule collection, and thus the exaggerated designs appeared on the Met Gala red carpet. That wasn’t the first time Gucci showed that despite more than 100 years of its tradition, the brand moves with the lifestyle. What does todays logo mean? Is it good taste to showcase it.
