Alessandro Michele Opens His Gucci Garden in Florence – Gucci is pushing the fashion-food concept to the next level this year. The fashion house is opening up a full restaurant and concept store, Gucci Garden, located in Florence, Italy. The Gucci Garden combines love, fashion, good taste, food all in one place. “It’s more like a bazaar; I love the variety of different things that are combined in an authentic and spirited way. I am very happy, I had fun setting it up and I think you can feel it’s a lively place. It’s a museum that is not a museum” Alessandro Michele.
