Gucci’s “Flora” print, celebrated for its vibrant palette and detailed plant life, first debuted in the ’60s around the neck of Grace Kelly. Ever since, the silk square has been synonymous with the Florentine house, enlivened with dozens of prints, patterns and hues. As part of Gucci’s new 90 x 90 project, nine artists have been tasked with reimagining five of the brand’s best-loved motifs from “Flora” to fauna and the GG monogram. Digital illustrator Yu Cai delivers vaporwave interpretations, Cleveland-born artist Everett Glenn makes action-packed graphics; all animate the canvas with their own figurative panache. The collection of 37 scarves will be available in selected stores and online from 1 April.
