New Business: Gucci Viaggio Travel Collection
Unless travel for business takes you to say, The Maldives, it usually won’t elicit zealous feelings of élan. “London’s amazing…except I’m there on business. And I’m going to have a pile of work when I get back. Sigh…” It’s a begrudging duty that dually whisks you away from your life and also, well, blenches your ability to wield the full power of your wardrobe. Dramatic? Hmph. This is business. Looks count. Quite a frustrating problem. And Gucci’s just launched some new high-class solutions, no—motivations, that will actually have you looking forward to getting on that plane to wherever so you can wheel and deal. (Details, after the jump)
The Gucci Viaggio collection takes the brand’s signature sleek styles and preens them with the kind of details important to the traveler. Wrinkling’s enemy no. 1—nylon is here, as are some assuaging cashmeres and sturdy, waterproof wools. The looks aren’t all that fussy, and really, are just what you want when running from formal meeting to casual dinner, meaning you don’t have to worry about over or under packing. And one of those “inside the head” joys of traveling— glissading through airports with the suave motion of the four-wheeled carry-on is made all the more enjoyable with the Viaggio collection’s stately design. The black, nylon briefcase (accompanied with a neoprene laptop case) is the perfect “personal item” and then, should you feel like topping off the look—there’s a bucket hat and black-out mask to lull you into luxuriant dreams while in transit. Check out the entirety of the collection here.
