Gucci, Off the Grid

June 22, 2020

Legendary Milan fashion house Gucci has launched the Off the Grid collection, a new line of genderless clothes and accessories created with recycled, organic, bio-based, and sustainably sourced materials. The Off the Grid collection is the first in the Gucci Circular Lines, an initiative to create environmentally conscious clothes with sustainability in mind.

Gucci released the line in tandem with a campaign video featuring cultural influencers such as Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda, singer-songwriter Miyavi, environmentalist David de Rothschild, GRAMMY Award-winning rapper Lil Nas X, and singer-songwriter King Princess. The video shows a gathering of wanderers working together to build a treehouse in a metropolitan area, like forest faeries dressed in Gucci.

Gucci stated, “Human beings crave a connection with the outside world and are rightly fascinated by the power and majesty of nature, and highly value the joy there is in being able to live in a natural environment. The desire to explore this way of life, and the natural world in general, is something we can consider an instinctive human desire; and journeys are valuable in being able to fulfil this need. A journey is a way of engaging and nourishing the imagination, and it is for this reason that Gucci embraces the idea of the journey as a means of self-discovery and self-expression.”
