From Tom Ford's sexiest runway looks to Jackie Kennedy's favorite bag, vintage Gucci always steals the show.&nbsp;

These days, a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/vintage-new-year-style-inspiration-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vintage</a> <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-epilogue-resort-2021-collection-alessandro-michele" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a> piece exists as the pinnacle of fashion. Whether it be a Guccissima shoulder bag or a statement <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/spring-summer-2021-shoe-trends-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">loafer</a>, Gucci's oldest styles have come back as some of the most valuable installments of the vintage realm. Moreover, fashion's cyclical nature has made way for an influx of late <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/90s-outfits-celebrity-fashion-making-comeback" target="_blank" rel="noopener">90s</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gen-z-y2k-millennial-90s-fashion-nostalgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K</a> looks to reemerge as current trends. This reversal has given everyone a good enough reason to dig through their closets or closest vintage stores in order to find the perfect <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/patchwork-trend-depop-diy-tom-ford-celine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nostalgic</a> outfit.&nbsp;
Since <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/guccio-gucci-designer-biography" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci's inception</a> in 1921, the house has been recognized for its unparalleled contributions to the fashion world. Beyond styles that resonated with elegant 20th century women like Grace Kelly and Jackie Kennedy, Gucci's prominence rose in the '90s with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/tom-ford-movies-nocturnal-animals-director-netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Ford&rsquo;s</a> reign. When the American designer became creative director of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-aria-film-alessandro-michele-balenciaga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a> in 1994, the brand saw a 90 percent increase in sales. Ford&rsquo;s vision for Gucci was clear&mdash;he infused his signature sex appeal into the brand. This meant <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/spring-summer-2021-couture-skirt-trend-givenchy-miu-miu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">short skirts</a>, exposed <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/whale-tail-thong-g-string-givenchy-gucci-hailey-bieber-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">G-strings</a>, sensual <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/round-cutouts-trend-sexy-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cut-outs</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/provocative-sexy-fashion-campaigns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">risqu&eacute; campaigns</a>, and top models like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/young-kate-moss-style-90s-to-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Moss</a> and Esther Ca&ntilde;adas on the runway.&nbsp;

Tom Ford walks the runway after Gucci's Spring/Summer 2004 show.

Before Ford, the American fashion executive <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/save-the-date/bergdorf-goodman-celebrates-launch-of-dawn-mello-biography" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dawn Mello</a> stood at the helm of Gucci. Under her leadership, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/lee-radziwill-jackie-kennedy-socialite-sister-facts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jackie Kennedy</a> adorned the renowned <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/handbag-resale-gucci-jackie-1961-purse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jackie bag</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/princess-diana-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Diana</a> sported the classic bamboo bag. These subtle moments greatly contributed to Gucci's identity as an exclusive and luxurious brand, and have been emulated during <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alessandro-michele-gucci-creative-director-harry-styles-jared-leto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alessandro Michele's</a> current rule at the fashion house. Known for his retro-infused yet subversive approach, Michele brings Gucci into its <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-aria-film-alessandro-michele-balenciaga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">centenary</a> as one of the most sought-after luxury labels.
Altogether, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/floral-trend-spring-2021-gucci-valentino" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci's</a> 100-year history is defined by countless amazing style moments&ndash;&ndash;on and off the runway. Take a look at L'OFFICIEL's fabulous round up and you are bound to walk away with some outfit inspiration.&nbsp;
