The Gucci clan
The dark chronicle of the slaughter of a fashion empire
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Gucci Clan." Let us tell you the dark story of an Italian family who lost their family empire in a whirlwind of mutual intrigue and the desire for even greater wealth. Discover what preceded the morning of 27 March 1995, when four rapid gunshots ripped through a Milan street, ending the life of Maurizio Gucci, heir to the famous fashion brand. Find out if his ex-wife Patrizia, who was sentenced to twenty-nine years (she served sixteen) in a highly publicized trial for planning the murder, was really behind it. Sara Gay Forden takes us on an insider's tour from the humble beginnings of the family business to what it stands for today - luxury, opulence, casualness and splendour. The book was made into a big screen movie of the same name, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver!
They wrote about the book
"Forden's elaborate story is hard to put down but easy to understand. The author successfully navigates through the labyrinth of family relationships and heated arguments, which she presents with an eye for detail and thoroughness in gathering the figures."
International Herald Tribune
"A penetrating chronicle of the rise and fall of a family business... Even by the Borgia standards of the fashion industry, the operatic Guccis were exceptional. Not content with the usual family stew of love, jealousy and greed, they added tax evasion, bigamy and, yes, murder."
Wall Street Journal
"A riveting account of the talent and creative chaos that built one of the world's greatest luxury goods empires - and the egotism, bitter family conflicts and incompetence that nearly destroyed it."
Bloomberg
"Fashion has never been so dramatic - and dangerous. The saga of three generations of the Gucci family begins with an execution-style murder in Milan and delves into the world of one of the hottest fashion brands of our time. Fashion insider Sara Forden spins the tale of how a bunch of greedy and bickering Guccis lost control of the empire that made GG synonymous with loafers."
Teri Agins
"Glamour, greed, sex, style and very, very good leather products - what more could you ask for (besides a 30 percent discount)?"
