1. International Fashion Brands
Gucci:
Gucci is an Italian luxury brand of fashion, clothing and leather goods and one
of the current highest-selling Italian brands.
Gucci was founded by Guccio Gucci in Florence, Tuscany, in 1921. In the
year 2013, the brand was valued at US$12.1 billion, with sales of US$4.7
billion. In 2019, in the Forbes World’s Most Valuable Brands list, Gucci is
ranked the 30th most valuable brand, with a brand value of $18.6
billion. Gucci generated about $9.8 billion in revenue worldwide in 2019
according to Forbes.
Gucci operates about 278 directly operated stores worldwide, and
it wholesales its products through franchisees and upscale department
stores. As of 2019, François-Henri Pinault is the current Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer.
Guccio Gucci (1881–1953) established a shop in 1920 that sold fine leather
goods with classic styling. Although Gucci organized his workrooms for
industrial methods of production, he maintained traditional aspects of
fabrication. Initially, Gucci employed skilled workers in basic Florentine
leather crafts, attentive to finishing. With expansion, machine stitching was a
production method that supported construction.
Together with three of his sons, Aldo Gucci (1905–1990), Vasco Gucci
(1907–1975), and Rodolfo Gucci (1912–1983), Gucci expanded the company
to include stores in Milan and Rome as well as additional shops in Florence.
Gucci’s stores featured such finely crafted leather accessories as handbags,
shoes, and his iconic ornamented loafer as well as silks and knitwear in a
signature pattern.

2. Versaci:
This luxury fashion house was founded in Milan in 1978 by Gianni Versace. One of the
important aspects of the Versace brand is its Italian roots, heritage is always woven into their
style. From its opening date, Versace was a leader in the high fashion circles, constantly
producing high-end clothing.
In 1997 Gianni Versace was tragically assassinated and his sister Donatella was named the
Artistic Director. Donatella is still at the helm of the luxury fashion brand today, making sure
it’s always relevant and driving trends. Due to constant media exposure and celebrity
endorsements, Versace has a cult following and lots of fans worldwide. This store is very
popular today and posing in their signature clothing is a luxury many aim towards.
While some brands we focus on aren’t at luxury standard, Versace definitely is. This fashion
brand offers couture pieces at high price points, making them more exclusive and removing
them from the fast-fashion sphere. They do bi-annual catwalk shows, create one-off pieces,
and use rare and expensive materials too. Though they offer some diffusion range and
attainable products, Versace does sit at a luxury brand status.
Versace is more expensive than the majority of clothing brands on the market. With over 40
years of experience and some of the most popular catwalk collections of all time, there’s no
surprise that this brand can afford to price its garments so high.
This brand is even one of the most expensive clothing brands in the world –
consumers can expect to pay upwards of $1000 for items in their couture
ranges.

6. Prada:
A leading player in the luxury industry, Prada Group is an experimental workshop of ideas.
Unfettered by preconceived style codes, the creations of the Group’s brands – Prada, Miu
Miu, Church’s, Car Shoe and Pasticceria Marchesi – represent the answer to the exploration
of society, at the same time, serving as precursors and pioneers of ever-changing scenarios. A
perspective that places at the heart of its inspiring and operative principles basic values as
uncompromised quality, valorisation of labour and freedom of creative expression.
The history of the Group begins in 1913 when Mario Prada, Miuccia Prada’s grandfather,
opened the first Prada store in Milan. Located in the prestigious Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
II, the exclusive Prada boutique offered luggage and luxury goods manufactured with the
finest artisanal techniques, using exquisite materials. The boutique soon establishes itself as
elegant shopping destination for the most prestigious Italian and European costumers,
consolidating its role in 1919 with the title of Official Supplier of the Italian Royal House,
which allows the brand to include the House of Savoy coat of arms and knotted rope design
in its trademark logo. Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli started working together in the late
1970’s, laying the foundation for the future international expansion of the Group; Patrizio
Bertelli pioneered the introduction of a new business model in the luxury industry, based on
the direct control of all processes, applying rigorous quality criteria through all stages of
production. A business model that goes hand in hand with Miuccia Prada’s maverick
creativity, which commanded international attention for its innovative approach inspired by
her unconventional observation of society that allows her to anticipate - and often influence –
fashion and style trends. Today the Prada brand offers men’s and women’s leather goods,
clothing and footwear, combining contemporary, innovative and sophisticated design with the
uniqueness of handcrafted products. Prada also operates in the eyewear and fragrance sector.
An unconventional exploration of our society inspires an innovative approach through which
Prada elaborates expressive codes that transcend all trends. Style statements that result in
creations that reinterpret reality through unusual perspectives. Unfettered from conceptual
limitations and from the strict commitment to stylistic cohesion, the aesthetic codes of the
brand transcend products bringing ideas and ideals to life through its clothes and accessories,
which become tools of confident self-expression. Through her work, Miuccia Prada
challenges pre-conceived aesthetic pattern.

century ago, my grandfather, Ben Rubin came to Madison, Wisconsin from Russia and opened
the very first Rubin’s Furniture.Ben’s two sons, Isadore Rubin and David Rubin were the 2nd
generation of Rubins. In 1932 Isadore and David opened Badger Furniture, a modest store in
downtown Madison.
In 1969, I bought my father’s half of Badger Furniture and added management to my repertoire.
Living Rooms was our contemporary beginning. My wife, Judith Rubin opened this store in
1979 and we became sole owners several years later. We closed Badger and changed the name
back to Rubin’s Furniture in 1983. Rubin’s Milwaukee opened in 1991 and moved to the 3rd

11. Missoni Home:
The business was founded in 1953, when Ottavio and Rosita Missoni set up a small knitwear
workshop in Gallarate, Italy.They presented their first collection under the Missoni label
in Milan in 1958.[2] The business prospered, with the support of fashion editor Anna Piaggi,
then at Arianna magazine. Rosita met the French stylist Emmanuelle Khanh in New York in
1965, which led to a collaboration and a new collection the following year. In April 1967,
they were invited to show at the Pitti Palace in Florence. Rosita told the models to remove
their bras, supposedly because they were the wrong color, and showed through the
thin lamé blouses. The material became transparent under the lights and caused a
sensation. The Missoni were not invited back the following year, but the business grew; a
new factory in Sumirago was built in 1969. Missoni designs were championed in the US
by Diana Vreeland, editor of American Vogue, and a Missoni boutique was opened
in Bloomingdales.
Missoni reached the peak of its influence in the fashion world in the early 1970s (though has
since been the subject of revivals in interest as new generations of fashion writers discovered
the appeal of its core knitwear). Tai Missoni then became more interested in other projects,
designing costumes for La Scala, carpets and tapestries.
The Missoni Home collection is a harmonious combination, almost a play of
extraordinary design, colour andfabrics. There is artistic energy in the iconic
patterns, always coherent, profound and spontaneous. There isdesign in the
versatile shapes that can be mixed and matched for infinite interpretations.The
Missoni lifestyle imprint lies in the eclectic style, in the top-quality materials,
and in the jigsaw patterns ofmulticoloured hues. Its unrestricted design
reconciles indoor & outdoor proposals, equally unmistakeable and
spectacular, providing comfort and performance quality. The charisma of each
item promotes creative ideas, adding charm to large and small spaces. To each
and every room of the home. To homes, penthouses, gardens, places to relax. At
any latitude.
Rosita Missoni, company founder and art director of the Home collection, says:
“I see my home as a welcoming nest, an organised yet informal habitat where
there should always be a surprise around the corner, something to arouse
emotion and curiosity. Where every space is an oasis of colours and moods”.

12. Lessenziale:
Anna Kovalchenko is originally from Moscow, Russia but I consider myself to be an
“international” person: my mindset is not limited by national boundaries and I like to explore
different countries and their cultures. After my graduation, I didn’t want to settle down in
Moscow as I had a huge desire to “see the world”. That’s when I moved first to the Maldives
and then on to the Seychelles. At that point in time, I felt like Marco Polo discovering exotic
and unusual destinations. These were wonderful moments in my life and a fantastic
experience. After living almost five years on the islands I decided to return to the “Big Land”
where I didn’t stop traveling and exploring different countries – Azerbaijan, Armenia, Latvia
were on my list. Since 2017 I live and work in Marbella, Spain.
I must say that my path towards becoming an interior designer has been very meandering.
Having been busy for many years in the hospitality industry and in the sales and marketing
field I was far away from realizing my long-standing dream. Finally in Baku, Azerbaijan, fate
gave me the chance and I grabbed it. I enrolled in KLC School in London to study a Diploma
in Interior Design. Six months later I launched my interior design blog – L’ESSENZIALE. I
don’t regret that it took me so long as I felt that my experience in sales and marketing
continues to assist me with my blog, and the rich and vibrant nature of the tropical islands
which I observed for such a long time has assisted me in finding reflection in my interior
design work.
In 2014 I was a regular contributor to Architectural Digest Russia:
L’Essenziale means “essential, the most important thing”, and this blog is
dedicated to fundamental elements of interior design such as:
 design process
 history of styles
 decorating news and trends
 ideas and inspirations
