PARTY: 60th Anniversary Horsebit Loafer
VENUE: Gucci, 900 North Michigan Avenue
DATE: Thursday, March 7th
THE LURE: That iconic double bar and ring motif—lovingly known as the Gucci horsebit—got a grand reception with some Chicago’s most fashion savvy. Hosted by Nicole Gabe and Matt Dudek, Whitney and Jerry Lasky and Traci and Mario Triccoci, the 900 Shops Gucci boutique celebrated 60 years of the legendary loafer. And this style set wasn’t just loafing around—the Italian brand reintroduced its 1953 collection for men and women featuring loafers in not-so-1953 colors and materials. Don’t see that bright purple suede kick you were looking for? Guests tried their hand at the new Made to Order program being able to customize the loafer in a variety of materials, finishes and linings exactly to your liking. >>
