Fiat 500 by Gucci celebrates Italian style


Chic, elegant and Italian, a car like the Fiat 500 is a natural fit for the Gucci set. But in case that is not obvious enough, the two Italian companies special together on one line. Led by Lapo Elkann - the sleek playboy brother of the Fiat chairman John Elkann and grandchildren of his late predecessor, Gianni Agnelli - Fiat 500 is a joint effort by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini and Gucci Fiat Centro Stile in this, Italy 150th Year of INDEPENDENCE.

The car itself follows in the footsteps of the Diesel edition - not to mention the large number of similar initiatives, including the Citroën DS3 and the Mini - and is available in black or white. Gucci signature red and green stripes running along the flank, with the double-G logo on the wheel hubs and the pattern on the leather seats.

Of course, Gucci has introduced a number of clothing and accessories for the occasion. The car collection was created by Milan Fashion Week to life and will be displayed at a booth at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Trendsetter does not have to wait to get the details in the press release after the jump and the high-resolution images in the gallery below.
