Gucci presents their first Gucci Cosmos Exhibition in Shanghai.

The exhibition was conceived by British contemporary artist Es Devlin and curated by eminent Italian fashion theorist and critic Maria Luisa Frisa. Together, they created eight "worlds" filled with treasures from the Gucci Archive (many previously unseen) to showcase Gucci's unwavering principles and journey since its founding in 1921.

"The Gucci Cosmos exhibition is an immersive experience in which the House’s origin story and its history are continuously put to the test by the imagination of the future.”—Maria Luisa Frisa
