The Exquisite Gucci Campaign.

The new Exquisite Gucci campaign draws inspiration from a series of iconic films by the late, celebrated sculptor of genres, Stanley Kubrick. Scenes are revisited by the Creative Director, Alessandro Michele, and reinhabited by looks from his latest collection for the House, paying homage to the past through imaginative infusions of the present.

Sainte-Marie de la Tourette.

Sainte-Marie de la Tourette is a monastery designed and built by Le Corbusier for a Dominican order of silent monks between 1953 and 1961. The building is a veritable fortress of late Modernist simplicity, and one of Corbusier’s last completed buildings in Europe. Burrowed in the hills of Éveux, a French town just west of Lyon, La Tourette makes gentle but scrupulous use of its sloping landscape. Corbusier’s proto-brutalist style lends itself sublimely to the quiet setting of a priory. Chaste, spare, and uncluttered, it is a stunning blend of meticulous form and charming eccentricity.
