Gucci is almost ready for the All Star Game 2020
Alessandro Michele pays homage to the NBA event with a pop up store and a capsule collection
February 12th, 2020
With a decorated basketball with the iconic psychedelic GG monogram, a pop-up store in West Loop and even a themed placeholder that will appear on Google Maps, Gucci is also ready to kick off the All-Star Weekend NBA in Chicago.
Located at 160 North on Morgan Street, the pop-up store will present the GG Psychedelic collection which will be based on rainbow colors and which will include the exclusive ball in honor of the All-Star Weekend, on sale for $ 1,980.
The creative director Alessandro Michele took the GG logo and reinterpreted it in a much more streetwear version: the capsule, with a multicolored star motif, includes men's and women's clothes, shoes, bags and suitcases. The women's collection includes a dress with drawstring, a shirt and a skirt. For men, however, the sportswear collection includes a silk twill shirt and shorts, a long nylon windbreaker and a swimsuit.
Saturday at the pop-up store there will be NBA and WNBA athletes who will perform to help fundraising for two foundations in Chicago: After School Matters, a non-profit organization that every year offers the opportunity to 19,000 high school kids to attend an after-school program and Braven, which helps university students in the difficult transition from college to entry into the world of work.
