GUCCI

As a personalization program to express individuality, Creative Director Alessandro Michele launched "Gucci DIY." In Tokyo, suits can be ordered at Gucci Ginza and Gucci Aoyama, featuring a lineup of four distinct styles. Among them, the "Heritage" (worn by Editor Tomoki Yusuke) with its low gorge and wide lapels, the classic "Signoria," and the modern "Monaco" are particularly popular. The freedom of customization is a key appeal, with options like using silk scarf fabrics for the lining or adding a name patch to the interior. Each made-to-measure suit comes with a badge certifying its creation through Gucci DIY and is presented in a special garment case. Even the original hanger is wrapped in Gucci's signature black fabric, showcasing the brand's wit throughout the experience.
