Gucci Countach by Taylor A.

Gucci is the time, Italia is the place.
I have a personal bias toward Gucci and Lamborghini.  The two marques drip in Italian heritage and prestige.  Both marques have rivaled their respective industries.  This rogue personality and passion for expression through art and business is an unstoppable force.  

Set against the backdrop of an equally untamed land, Italia, the House of Gucci plays host to the new sensation, the Raging Bull.


1974 Lamborghini Countach LP400
Bertone, Gandini, Lamborghini, and Stanzani.
The Master, the Dreamer, the Industrialist, and the Creator.  The expectations of what a machine should be in dreams and reality were shaken forever with the release of the Countach in 1974.  Long after production ended 16 years later, the Countach with its wedged, scissor-doored Bertone design has left a mark on our imagination and our everyday reality.
Flamboyance, understated.
Gucci's iconic stripe could symbolize the past and future of Italy as much as Italy's own national flag.  Flamboyant yet understated through a sophisticated sense of simplicity.  The Gucci stripe is at home on another iconic design, the rebirth of the Fiat 500.
Future is always here, past is always next.
The timelessness of Gucci provides creatives within the art and design world something to play with, time itself.  Gucci is the future and the past, always here and always next.
The coiled snake meets the raging bull.
Two flamboyant, future-forward and timeless marques that remain civilized and intriguing throughout the decades meet on an iconic canvas, nearly fifty years after its debut to inspire the next generation of artists, designers, and pilots.
A sparking silver dress is lined with Gucci's iconic bi-colorway stripe.  The coiled snake displays a competitive exuberance.  Vintage wheels are stored aside, and bronzed competition wheels from Japanese manufacturer, Enkei, are mounted as a symbol of international relevance.  "21" is stamped on each side, nodding to the year that the House of Gucci was established in 1921.
The Countach is at home with speed or stillness.
The bi-colorway of Gucci complements the tri-colorway of Autodromo Nazionale di Monza.
A 1976 Ferrari 512 BB gives chase.
The darkened roads of the Stelvio Pass provide a challenging route.
