Loading... The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greedby Sara Gay Forden
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  KallieGrace | Nov 29, 2023 |   This book heavily focused on the growth of the Gucci business and the family drama. I think it was well written, researched, and detailed. It was just way more than I have an interest. I was interested in the family dynamics, marriage between Maurizio and Patrizia, their children, and relationships after their separation. I like learning about people and not so much about the business. I have a feeling I will like the movie better.

While there is a legend the family built saddles hundreds of trays ago the author discounts that and tells the story of the modern fashion company. The main focus is on the family and the leaders of the company - how they lead their lives and spent the wealth they developed. There is a lot of detail that makes the story interesting to someone not in to style or fashion. (  ) waldhaus1 | May 26, 2022 | ) clamato | May 7, 2022 | no reviews | add a review

Also screw you Gucci for not allowing women to own any part of the company, that's not a great legacy. (
