Rowing Blazers and Vans are among the designers tapped to put their sartorial touch on the Italian luxury house’s fabrics and signature silhouettes. The Ivy League-luxe label has debuted a 15-piece line ($70-$1,500) of tailored suits, colorful rugby shirts, fleece sweaters, shorts and accessories, while the California-cool skate brand has created its second consecutive collection of custom-made Old Skools, slip-ons and other casual kicks featuring Gucci’s archive scrap materials.
Agua by Agua Bendita (which recently released a print-happy collection for Target) created maxi dresses, blouses, skirts and swimwear ($215-$1,500) featuring hand-embroidered native plants from Italy and Colombia, while NYC designer Connor McKnight (known for his retro outdoorsy vibes) and Paris-based label Husbands put their playful and sharply-tailored touches on menswear ($380-$2,300).
In the accessories department, Kardashian-loved handbag label Judith Leiber Couture dreamed up four whimsical minaudière clutch bags ($795-$6,295) that are embellished reproductions of Gucci’s museum-worthy archival motifs (the originals are on display at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum and New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.) French millinery Maison Michel crafted colorful women’s and men’s hats ($920-$1,585) in ombré colorways, and Prounis Jewelry designed 22-karat gold pieces ($5,300-$35,000) punctuated with responsibly-sourced South Sea pearls, emeralds, tourmalines, garnets and other precious and semi-precious gems.
In a campaign by Namibian-German photographer and artist Max Siedentopf (another frequent Gucci collaborator), the latest Vault collection is showcased through “references and clichés in a playful twist where Hollywood Glamour, slackers and tongue-in-cheek humor find common ground.” Rowing Blazers’ signature striped button-downs are seen by the pool, and Agua by Agua Bendita’s botanical-print sun dresses pop in front of vibrant floral hedges.
The limited-edition pieces are only available online at Gucci’s website. See more campaign imagery and shop a handful of items from the high summer collaboration below.
