-SPECIAL- "GUCCI" 90s-2000s Leather and Fur Long Coat

Model height 171cm

Introducing a special piece from GUCCI, which has continuously refreshed the aesthetic of each era with the idea of creating products that reflect the best of the past with the highest quality, reflecting traditional excellence in a modern way.

This masterpiece features subdued gloss black leather with a structural beauty that extends from the collar to the front placket, edges, and switching, with plush fur.

As a basis for the era, the coexistence of the "sensuality of the material" and "industrial metal fittings" in this piece aligns very well with the luxury image presented by Tom Ford-era GUCCI. The dense fur contains air, while the front features a rectangular metal closure, forcing elements with different temperature impressions to be juxtaposed on the same screen, transforming the typical impression of a classic fur coat into a sense of urban tension characteristic of that time. Furthermore, the brand's information remains only as an embossed "stamp," and the focus is placed on the material and structure, which also explains the aesthetic cultivated by GUCCI from the late 90s to early 2000s.

Looking deeper into the design, this coat is not simply leather with added fur, but a design that sculpts the body's outline with "planes" and "lines." Large panels are stacked with horizontal cuts, and vertical fur is threaded through, creating a broad surface while the eye flows vertically, giving the wearer a sharp impression without elongation. The fur darkens the face area with shadow at the collar, creates depth shadows when opening and closing at the front placket, and the flowing hair at the hem and edges creates movement. Even in black, the appearance changes with angle, making the "stillness and movement" within a single garment a valuable feature.

The processing of inserting pile along the switching line also adds value, visually eliminating seams and maintaining surface continuity, while creating a double expression where boundaries stand out when touched. In other words, it appears minimal from afar, but as you approach, the craftsmanship and thickness of the material become apparent, and the impression's intensity varies with distance. This "design of appearance" is a strength as an archive.

The metal closure likely functions not as decoration but as a mechanism to secure a range of wearing styles. When closed tightly, the leather on the front stands out as a surface, with the reflection of metal forming a central line that makes the posture look neat. When slightly open, the fur on the front placket falls vertically, creating a glossy shadow, emphasizing sensuality. The switch between these two styles is possible with a single fastener, allowing immediate transition to different looks even with the same black. Beyond its role as cold-weather wear, the ability to "choose a performance" according to the mood or temperature of the scene adds practical value to this piece.

Furthermore, despite the heavy combination of leather and fur, the visual assertion is entrusted not to logos but to differences in texture, allowing it to embody a sense of era without falling into outdatedness, and naturally connect to modern minimalistic fashion. One reason why Tom Ford-era GUCCI continues to be highly regarded is that it established sexiness through materials and tension rather than excessive decoration. This piece clearly reflects that philosophy in an understandable and luxurious way.

In terms of styling, since this coat itself has a complete form of shading, pairing a clean top as an inner with a structure that emphasizes vertical lines with slacks on the bottom makes the structure stand out. To evoke the atmosphere of that time, layering the texture with silk shirts or slim leather pants, and finishing with sharp boots to tighten the center of gravity, results in a genderless look.

Take this opportunity.
