Julia Garner’s Gucci Campaign Proves Silk Scarves and Spring Florals Are Forever Chic

Honoring over a century of excellence in silk craftsmanship, Gucci unveils its latest campaign, “The Art of Silk,” featuring actress Julia Garner as the star. Known for her roles in Ozark and Inventing Anna, as well as her close ties with the Italian fashion house, Garner appears in cinematic-style portraits captured by the legendary Steven Meisel. Set against an atmospheric urban nightscape, the campaign highlights the timeless elegance of Gucci’s silk scarves, a staple of the brand’s heritage since the 1950s.

As part of the “90×90” initiative, nine international artists have reinterpreted Gucci’s iconic scarves through their own creative lenses. Additionally, in collaboration with Assouline, the luxury house has released Gucci: The Art of Silk, a book exploring the evolution of these accessories throughout the years.

One of the most emblematic designs featured in the collection is the Flora motif, originally created by Vittorio Accornero de Testa in 1966 for Princess Grace of Monaco. This intricate pattern, showcasing 43 varieties of hand-painted flowers, plants, and insects, has become a symbol of Gucci’s textile mastery. Alongside Flora, the collection also includes scarves with nautical, equestrian, and the signature GG monogram prints, reflecting the richness of the house’s historical archives.

Gucci’s journey into silk scarf production began in the 1950s, with early designs inspired by its renowned leather goods. The first documented scarf, dating back to 1958, was produced in Como, Italy, and featured a nautical design titled Tolda di Nave (Ship’s Deck), marking the beginning of a tradition that continues to thrive today.

To celebrate the launch of the “90×90” collection, Gucci has planned a series of special events in Paris, including an exclusive gathering at its iconic Rue Saint-Honoré boutique and a private dinner dedicated to the campaign. The collection will be available starting Tuesday, reinforcing Gucci’s legacy in silk craftsmanship and solidifying its status as one of the most influential luxury fashion houses in the world.
