It’s #GucciShowtime and we’re here for it. Gucci’s Spring Summer 2019 campaign takes inspiration from much-loved films such as An American in Paris (1951), The Band Wagon (1953), Cover Girl (1944) and Singin’ in the Rain (1952).

It celebrates the beginnings of celebrity culture and pays homage to the golden age of the Hollywood musical. Shot and directed by Glen Luchford, the video is a musical featuring elaborate sets, colourful backdrops and characters (dressed in Gucci) who tap dance, sing and perform to a choreography that takes from the ‘40s and ‘50s. The whole vibe is happy, playful and colourful.
After an intermission in the video, you get a glimpse of what goes down behind the scenes, featuring other characters such as producers and agents who make up the extended Gucci cast. The campaign characters also make an appearance in a series of videos where they are interviewed on the red carpet at an imaginary premiere of Gucci’s musical. It’s showtime and we wish it was for real.
