In celebration of the festive season, Gucci gathered tastemakers, artists, and leaders from the fashion, art, and entertainment industry to celebrate the House’s new installation at Sweet Bird North Plaza in Miami’s Design District, inspired by enchanted snow globes. The installation pays homage to Gucci’s history, intertwining various threads of the House’s narrative while drawing inspiration from Gucci’s rich travel-inspired heritage.
Guests from the evening included Gucci Deputy CEO Stefano Cantino and guests Alessandra Ambrosio, Athena Calderone, Brendan Fallis, Brittany Byrd, Cait Bailey, Carlita, Caro Daur, Cass Dimicco, Cathy Vedovi, Craig Robins & Jackie Soffer, Corydon Cowansange, Dustin Yellin, Eiza Gonzalez, Kering Deputy CEO Francesca Bellettini, Francesca Kaufmann, François Sarközy, Gavin Brown and Hope Atherton, Georges Coupet, Hannah Traore, Hassan Pierre, Jeffrey Deitch, Jon George of Rüfüs Du Sol, Jon Gray, Karolina Kurkova, Kennedy Yanko, Kitty Ca$h, Kristen Noel Crawley, Martha Graeff, Marjorie & Josh Harris, Mickalene Thomas, Paola Alberdi, Venus Williams, Yara Shahidi and more.
The holiday installation located between Gucci’s two boutiques in Miami Design District will be on display through January 7th providing a complimentary offering to surprise and delight this season. Ice cream from local favorite Peel and coffee and baked goods from Italian Bakery, Rosetta, will be available during select periods as well as weekend coloring activities for children.
Complementing the seasonal celebration, Gucci collaborated with American artist Corydon Cowansage on a series of Art Wall takeovers, adapting one of her existing works to create three murals located between the square and Gucci’s women’s boutique. The murals feature biomorphic shapes and a lush, vibrant palette, incorporating sensual, undulating forms that create a sense of depth and movement, aligned with Corydon’s participation at Miami Art Basel starting December 4.
For the evening’s event, the plaza was transformed into a private party. Guests danced to DJ sets from Tiffy Vera and Carlita, while enjoying cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres. Following the cocktail, Gucci hosted an intimate dinner at Mother Wolf.
