Gucci Celebrates Zumi Bag, Inaugurates Exhibition

MILAN — With the new Zumi top-handle bag hitting Gucci shops this month, the luxury fashion house hosted a series of in-store events celebrating the style, which takes its name from Los Angeles-based actress and experimental musician Zumi Rosow. Following parties in Kyoto, Chengdu and London, Gucci welcomed guests at its flagship here on Tuesday evening to discover the new bag, which made its debut on the Gucci spring 2019 runway, where it was carried by Rosow herself. The artist, who was not available for interviews during the event, hosted a DJ set, while poet and filmmaker Alaska Lynch read his poems dedicated to the Zumi bag. A few miles away, at its headquarters, called Gucci Hub, the company today inaugurates an exhibition celebrating the career of Leo de Bernardis and Perla Peragallo, two of the protagonists of Italian experimental theater in the Sixties and Seventies. Curated by Gianni Manzella and Enrico Pitozzi, the exhibit, which is called “Lo Stupore della Materia. Il Teatro di de Bernardis — Peragallo [1967/1979],” includes film clips, sounds, music, pictures and stage props tracing the rich careers of de Bernardis and Peragallo, which Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele already celebrated with his spring runway show, held at Le Palace
