Just what your home needs

Just what your home needs

If you thought Gucci’s Cruise show was as good as it got, think again, because the fashion house has announced the launch of Gucci Décor, an eclectic collection of items that is just what your home needs.

The idea is not to prescribe a particular decorative look, but to provide elements that allow for living spaces to be customised.

Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele’s philosophy for personalising the home is therefore similar to his DIY programme for clothes and accessories, where you are invited to customise pieces by applying decorative details.

Think an eclectic mix of patterns, colours, designs and decorative tropes inspired by his fashion collections and reimagined for furniture, furnishings and crockery.

We love the overall effect, which is a joyous combination of hue, pattern and design. We particularly love the porcelain with its green and white Herbarium decoration, produced by Richard Ginori, the renowned Florentine company founded in 1735.

There are eye-catching cushions in bright colours and embellished with some of the House’s signature motifs of animals and jacquards.

For something that will really make the room come together, look no further than the fabulous range of unconventional wallpapers, which come in silk, vinyl and paper, inspired by the pre-fall 2017 collection and the floral theme of the aw15 collection.

Gucci Décor will be launched from September with a progressive global roll-out in Gucci flagship stores, online at gucci.com and selected specialty stores.

So you'll have to be a little patient but we guarantee it'll be worth the wait.

We don't know about you, but we can’t wait.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
