MUST SEE - New Vintage Gucci pop-up to launch at Rebelle

Second hand designer fashion destination REBELLE celebrates Gucci’s 95 anniversary with a digital pop-up packed full of iconic pieces from the last three decades launching on May 1st, 2016.

“The Gucci brand has brought so much to the fashion industry in its 95 year history and we felt it was our duty to celebrate this in some way” commented Cécile Gaulke, Founder & CEO of REBELLE.

She continues, “The label is one of the most sought after designer brands listed on the REBELLE site with a resurgence of interest since the appointment of new Creative Director Alessandro Michele.”

Fashionistas and investors need to be quick though as many of the most sought after pieces sell out within mere minutes of being listed on the site. Some of the most iconic must-have pieces include dresses, scarves, sunglasses, shoes and those most popular with REBELLE customers, the handbags! They range from £450 to £1,400 and include classic clutches with hose bit buckle detail as well as shoulder bags with the instantly recognisable Gucci logo. The classic 70s inspired oversized sunglasses are available for under £200 while the gorgeous print dresses and shirts reminiscent of 90s work wear can be snapped up for under £1,000.

Despite nearing its centenary year, the label of the moment is more in demand than ever before and REBELLE, the one-stop shop for the most desirable and rare fashion investments, has beautifully photographed some of Gucci’s most recognisable pieces from the past three decades which are currently available to purchase on the site as second hand.

REBELLE is a mutually beneficial platform; offering buyers a entry point into the desirable world of designer fashion and the exclusive network of sellers the chance to market their goods in a sleek and secure environment, where each item is quality-checked by a team of trained authenticators.

Now open Benetton Pop Up Shop & Gallery - NYC

BENETTON: THE ART OF KNIT

A novel concept store that blends art, design and fashion

September 2012 (New York, NY) United Colors of Benetton announces the launch of a pop-up, store/gallery concept in the heart of New York City’s SoHo neighborhood. The space will fuse art and commerce through the creative lens of the brand’s colorful, fashion knitwear. The brand will transform a 2,200 square-foot former garage space attached to a BP gas station with an innovative art/design installation, including highlights from the Fall-Winter 2012 collection.

The space, located at 135 Crosby Street, will open on September 6th, 2012 and run through December. The location showcases the collaboration between You Nguyen, Chief Merchandising Officer and Creative Director, who designed the women’s and men’s Fall 2012 collections, and Sam Baron, Design Director of FABRICA, the Benetton Group’s center for communication research where artists from around the world develop innovative art and media projects.

Visitors will enter through open garage doors on either side of a long rectangular space featuring the range of 12 key hues that both designers used as inspiration. The installation is composed of art pieces knitted by resident artists of FABRICA, mixed with design objects for sale, as well as Benetton sweaters. Fall’s colourful fair-isle dresses and graphic colorblocked v-neck sweaters are viewed in the context of knit art objects of every shape, size, and function – blurring the line between contemporary art, design, and wearable fashion. The space celebrates United Colors of Benetton’s commitment to creativity through art, craftsmanship, the use of color, and its roots as a knitwear brand.

Additionally, sculptures of the LANA SUTRA, created by Cuban-born FABRICA artist Erik Ravelo, will be featured prominently in the space. Life-size figurative “couples” in poses from the Kama Sutra are wrapped in brightly-colored woolen yarns, and joined in positions expressing sensual pleasure and love. The sculptures engage the senses through sight and touch, communicating the warmth of wool, a human embrace, love, emotion, pleasure (kama), and a common thread which unites mankind (sutra). The artistic concepts capture Benetton’s DNA consistently expressed through its colourful knitwear: Fashion that unites disparate people and points of view, touching the whole of humanity.

With a long-standing commitment to art and creativity in all its forms, the United Colors of Benetton pop-up provides an innovative showcase of the brand’s legacy in knit fashion and color.
