This year Gucci is celebrating their 90th anniversary. In much anticipated celebration they are not only releasing some of their best runway work but a car with another famous Italian company Fiat.
"Gucci creative director Frida Giannini in collaboration with Fiat’s design office has customized the iconic Fiat 500, or as it’s known in Italian, “cinquecento.” -Gucci.com
The car comes in glossy black and white and boasts the signature Gucci green and red stripe on the exterior as well as inside on the seats, gearshift, carpet, and seat belts. Sounds delicious, right!?
“When the Fiat 500 first hit the road in the fifties it created a style revolution.” says creative director Frida Gianinni. “Gucci’s history has always been about traveling in style so when this collaboration came up, it struck me as the perfect opportunity to create a new modern travel statement.” -Gucci.com
And you can even purchase accessories to wear while your riding in style. Gucci is offering a line of travel accessories, leather goods, track suits, driving accessories and sunglasses. Ooh, la, la!
You can pre-order the car now at
