  • Gucci and FIAT to Unveil Fiat "500 by Gucci" During New York Fashion Week
    August 16, 2011 Contact: Jiyan Cadiz (248) 512-4903 (office) (248) 821-4885 (cell) [email protected] Ariel Gavilan (248) 512-3404 (office) (248) 495-4645 (cell) [email protected] Gucci and FIAT To Unveil Fiat "500 by Gucci" During New York Fashion Week Auburn Hills, Mich. , Aug 16, 2011 - Set to debut during New York Fashion Week (Sept. 8 – 15) on Fashion’s Night Out (Sept. 8), the new Fiat 500 by Gucci limited-edition models represent the perfect combination of craftsmanship and style, and bring together two of Italy’s most respected brands. In the year that sees the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy and Gucci’s 90th anniversary, these special editions of the Fiat 500 and 500 Cabrio have been customized by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini in partnership with Fiat's Centro Stile. “In the 50s, the Fiat 500 created a style revolution when it first hit the road. It quickly became the must-have car of its time. Travelling in style has also been at the heart of Gucci ever since Guccio Gucci founded his company as a producer of leather trunks, suitcases and handbags in 1921. So, when Lapo Elkann suggested the idea of this collaboration it struck me as a perfect opportunity to create a new modern travel statement in Gucci's 90th anniversary year,” said Frida Giannini. Inspired by neo-classic black-and-white film, the new black-and-white Fiat 500 and 500c by Gucci models are finished in unique eye-catching glossy pearl-glass paint. These two distinct colors complement one another: black with detailing in shiny chrome paired with interiors that contrast sharp black and white for a contemporary and racy attitude.

The limited-edition model represents the perfect combination of craftsmanship and style and brings together two of Italy’s most respected brands. In the year that sees the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy and Gucci’s 90th anniversary, these special editions of the iconic Fiat 500 and 500 Cabrio were customized by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini in partnership with FIAT’s Centro Stile. “In the ‘50s, the Fiat 500 created a style revolution when it first hit the road. It quickly became the must-have car of its time. Travelling in style has also been at the heart of Gucci ever since Guccio Gucci founded his company as a producer of leather trunks, suitcases and handbags in 1921. So, when Lapo Elkann suggested the idea of this collaboration, it struck me as a perfect opportunity to create a new, modern travel statement in Gucci’s 90th anniversary year,” said Frida Giannini. “With Gucci as our design partner, we’ve amplified the Italian style of our Fiat 500 with unique exterior and interior looks that will make the car truly unique on the road,” said Laura Soave, Head of FIAT Brand North America. “This special edition adds dimension to the Fiat 500 portfolio and will appeal to North American customers who appreciate Italian style just as much as modern technology, value and fuel efficiency.” Inspired by neo-classical black-and-white films, the new Black and White Fiat 500 and 500c by Gucci models are finished in unique eye-catching pearl-gloss paint.

  • Fiat's Young Boss Steers a Tough Course
    FIAT BEHIND THE WHEEL: Fiat Chairman John Elkann drives a Fiat 8V at the start of the “1000 Miglia” International classic car rally in Brescia. REUTERS/PAOLO BONA John Elkann has to decide between Italian passion and corporate pragmatism Fiat’s young boss steers a tough course BY JENNIFER CLARK TURIN, NOVEMBER 9, 2012 SPECIAL REPORT 1 FIAT STEERING A NEW COURSE henever Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of carmakers WFiat and Chrysler, appears in public, television crews jostle to beam his words around the globe. Amid the push and shove it’s easy to miss the tall, curly- headed young man who often looks on from the sidelines. He’s John Elkann. And he’s Mar- chionne’s boss. The 36-year-old scion of Italy’s powerful Agnelli clan became vice chairman of Fiat – founded and still controlled by his fam- ily – just under a decade ago, and chairman in 2010. For years, his was the saga of a shy, awkward young heir thrust prematurely into corporate leadership by family tragedy. No more. Now Elkann is taking the key role in an- swering the question that faces his family’s firm: Is what’s good for Italy really good for Fiat anymore? The question evokes the famous statement - “I thought that what was good for America was good for General Motors and vice versa” – by Charles “Engine Charlie” Wilson, then the president of GM, 60 years ago. Nobody is calling Elkann “Engine John- nie.” But many thought Fiat had outgrown Italy in 2009 when it snapped up a control- ling stake in Chrysler and left Elkann to wrestle with the politically potent question of how closely the family firm, long the sym- bol of corporate Italy, should remain tied to the troubled economy of its home country.

  • Marella Agnelli, Society's 'Last Swan'
    LOG IN Marella Agnelli, Society’s ‘Last Swan’ and a Passionate Gardener, Is Dead at 91 Marella Agnelli and her husband, Giovanni Agnelli, in 1988. Alberto Ramella/Associated Press By Bonnie Wertheim Feb. 23, 2019 Marella Agnelli, a descendant of Neapolitan nobility who lived a rarefied life of palatial estates, ornamental gardens, fine art, high fashion and lofty society, died on Saturday at her home in Turin, Italy. She was 91. The death was announced by the Agnelli family in a statement. With her husband, Giovanni Agnelli of the Fiat car manufacturing empire, Mrs. Agnelli owned more than a dozen homes, including an estate in Turin, a ski lodge in the Italian Alps and a Park Avenue apartment in New York. She cultivated an esteemed social circle that included the Kennedys, Henry Kissinger, Katharine Graham and Truman Capote. The couple’s closets were filled with immaculate clothes. Mrs. Agnelli’s beauty captivated the imagination of artists and fashion designers. Andy Warhol and Richard Avedon created portraits of her. She was among Valentino Garavani’s earliest and most beloved customers. Mr. Capote counted her as one of his “Swans,” the stylish and wealthy women with whom he surrounded himself. He reportedly told Ms. Graham, the Washington Post publisher at the time, that if Mrs. Agnelli and Babe Paley, another of his socialite muses, “were both in Tiffany’s window, Marella would be a little more expensive.” Mrs. Agnelli remained active and creative in her later years, purchasing and restoring a dilapidated villa in Marrakesh, Morocco, publishing an autobiographical coffee table book and appearing in an HBO documentary about the life of her husband, in 2003.
