Vault was born to try to expand a laboratory, to create something from the passion for vintage that characterizes my path: for me it is a gift and I am happy that the company is enthusiastic about it ” , explained Alessandro Michele.

Vault is of course already accessible online and is also present on Instagram with a dedicated page. Within the site there are several sections, including the Metaverse which for now is in dialogue with the sculpture, in collaboration with Superplastic which has revisited its ceramic sculptures on the themes of the Gucci Aria fashion show and with Discord , involving various artists in the reinterpretation of pieces of the brand.

It cannot be excluded that the musical universe may also be involved: recently Gucci has in fact created a virtual event that traces the stylist evolution of Achille Lauro, its long-time ambassador who could also be involved in the Vault project.
