Patricia Gucci was born a secret: the love child whose birth could have spelled ruination for her father, Aldo Gucci. It was 1963, and the halcyon days for the "must-have" brand of Hollywood and European royalty. Patricia's mother gave birth in secret in London before she was smuggled back to Vatican City and hidden from the fashion world, the media, and the rest of the Gucci family. Aldo couldn't afford a public scandal, but he could not resist his feelings for Patricia's mother, Bruna, the paramour he first met when she workedfor him as a shopgirl in Rome. In In the Name of Gucci, Patricia Gucci charts her parents' untold love story, relying on her own childhood memories as well as an archive of love letters and interviews with her mother. She interweaves her parents' story with that of her own relationship with her father--from a little girl who remained a secret for eighteen months and wasn't publicly acknowledged for her first decade, through her rise to become Gucci's ambassador and Aldo's proteÌgeÌ, to the moment when his three sons, who betrayed him in a famous palace coup, were disinherited and Patricia--once considered the shame of Gucci--was made sole universal heir. It is an epic tale of love and loss, betrayal and loyalty, sweeping among Italy, England, and Americathroughout the tumultuous years during the rise and fall of the House of Gucci"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 30 $a Gucci family. 610 20 $a Gucci (Firm) $x History. 600 10 $a Gucci, Patrizia. 650 0 $a Fashion designers $z Italy $v Biography. 650 0 $a Clothing trade $z Italy $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Rich & Famous. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a DESIGN / Fashion. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 856 42 $3 Cover image $u 9780804138932.jpg 941 $a 4 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518025919.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722052755.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528061419.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20171128012825.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9F1CC1F6167411E6A333BB94DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
