Gucci the Ultimate Italian Brand

For people who at this point in their lives have never heard of Gucci, where have you been?  A hermit in the himalayan mountains?  To change the mood to being serious, this piece will give many details about the high impact that Gucci Shoes has made on the fashion industry.  Beginning in the 1960s when actress Grace Kelly was spotted wearning the Flora silk scarf (Gucci's signature masterpiece during that era).  Furthermore, the famous wife Jackie Kennedy (President Kennedy's wife) wore the Gucci Jackie O shoulder bag, Gucci Inc. grew drastically.  After that famous people have purchased Gucci and it has been seen as an icon of fame, elitism, and wealth.  It may be more than likely the single reason why Gucci is right now the greatest selling brand from Italy in the world.Gucci has stores on every continent except Antarctica.  After all, the boutiques tend to be  cultural cities or prosperous places with site-seeing.  For instance the flagship stores in the the United States are,    * Americana Manhasset, Manhasset, New York (A shopping centre in close proximity to Manhattan including famous brand shops)    * Aspen Colorado (a deluxe winter sports and Winter destination for the well-off and celebs)    * Atlanta, Georgia    * Bal Harbour, Florida (a rich area of Miami)    * Beverly Hills, California (one of the most affluent areas in the United States)    * Boston, Massachusetts    * Chicago, Illinois    * East Hampton, New York (affectionately nicknamed: "the playground of the rich")    * Honolulu, Hawaii    * New York, New York - Madison Av. and Fifth Ave. flagshipTen Amazing & normally unheard of facts about Gucci:1) Regardless of the fact that it is a brand from Italy Gucci is truthfully controlled by French enterprise Pinault-Printemps-Redoute (PPR)2) In 1999, Louis Vuitton nearly became owner of the Gucci corporation.3) Gucci launched a division for children in June of 20104) Gucci has designed paneling and other features for GM, AMC, and Ford cars in the past.5) Gucci started to do charity work with UNICEF and contribute a percentage of their outlets sales to assist with the charitable actions.6) Gucci became a member of the Guiness Book of World Records in 1998 with the world's most expensive pair of jeans.  The jeans are named Gucci "Genius Jeans" and the price, surprisingly, $3124.7) Gucci is the second most immitated trademark in the World.8) Gucci is named after the creator of Gucci: Guccio GUcci9) The Gucci family had famous fights and even one of the Gucci Discount Shoes brothers was assassinated during their worst fights.10) Gucci only became publicly traded in 1995, before that time it retained a similar structure to its beginnings in the 1920s as a family business.So what does the future hold for Gucci in the next few years?  It seems in the 2000s Gucci endured another challenging time as a lot of luxury brand companies and overcoming this has been a hurdle.  After 9/11 with flight restrictions and economic slow-down the brand lost tremendously.  However, like a lot of luxury brands Gucci is hopeful for its future in expanding new markets such as those in Asia, Latin America, South America and the Middle East.  A establishment in these developing marketplaces which are demanding for foreign luxury brands is one of the main focuses of Gucci throughout 2010.
