Who made Gucci famous?

Aldo Gucci led the company on its expansionist spree, this time in the East. Stores were opened in Tokyo and Hong Kong in 1972 and 1974, respectively, while a new one was launched in New York for Gucci’s clothing line. In 1975, the luxury brand launched Gucci No.

Why does Gucci not own Gucci?

Paolo Gucci

His father, Aldo, had given 10 per cent of his 50 per cent stake in the company to his three sons, allocating 3.3 per cent to each of them. When Paolo aligned his interest with Maurizio’s 50 per cent, he tipped the scales to begin the process that ultimately led to the family no longer owning the company.
