The Story Behind: Gucci Artist Vittorio Accornero
The “Flora” print has become iconic for Gucci and in the history of textile design. Created by artist Vittorio Accornero in 1966, the scarf’s history is as fabled as Gucci’s past. The story is that Rodolfo Gucci commissioned Accornero to design an original scarf as a gift for Princess Grace after she visited the boutique in Milan. Accornero painted nine bouquets of flowers dedicated to the four seasons. The intricate botanical print includes a dragonfly, a grasshopper, a butterfly and beetles throughout the design. The naturalistic artwork is comprised of 37 colours, unheard of for most scarves due to the expense of printing with so many screens.
The Flora design has lived on in the House of Gucci ever since the 1960’s. It has had many incarnations and revivals: the print has been used on handbags, clothing, china and shoes. In 2012 the print was printed by Cole & Son as a special edition wallpaper for the Milan Furniture Fair.
