Gucci Launches Exclusive Capsule Collection on MR PORTER


GUCCI has created an exclusive capsule collection of 43 items for the British men's fashion e-commerce site MR PORTER. The collection features items with colorful, kitsch details, such as bold embroidery and graphics, characteristic of Gucci's Creative Director Alessandro Michele. In addition to apparel, there are also footwear and accessories like bags that add an accent to any outfit.

The collection by Alessandro Michele, themed around urbanism and self-expression, mixes classic tailored silhouettes with elements of eccentric sportswear.

The range includes apparel such as a lilac fil coupé jacquard shirt, a crewneck sweater with a bee pattern in wool jacquard, and a blueberry-colored zip-up jersey jacket with a tiger embroidered on a paisley print. Footwear includes iconic horsebit loafers with mimosa illustrations, and accessories such as leather bracelets, cufflinks, and watches.

Last year, Gucci also produced a limited collection with MR PORTER's sister site, the women's e-commerce site NET-A-PORTER.

Regarding this collaboration, MR PORTER's Managing Director Toby Bateman commented, "We are incredibly pleased to partner with Gucci, a brand with such immense creative energy and influence in fashion today, on this exclusive project. Alessandro and his team's talent shines through in this unique capsule collection of iconic pieces, and we are confident it will be a hit with our global customers."

Gucci's President and CEO Marco Bizzarri also stated, "Following the success of our limited capsule collection with NET-A-PORTER last year, we are honored to collaborate with MR PORTER this time. MR PORTER's customers are undoubtedly fashion-forward, knowledgeable, and sophisticated consumers."

The collection launched on May 18th, with prices ranging from £140 to £2,030 (approximately ¥20,000 to ¥280,000 / $200 to $3,350).
