FLOWER POWER | Models wearing pieces from the fall 2017 Gucci collection, at the brand’s headquarters in Milan. MagazineALESSANDRO MICHELE’S office in Gucci’s new Milan headquarters seems like a playroom tricked out by doting parents for a child whose toys haven’t yet arrived. The headquarters, dubbed the Gucci Hub, is so new that Milan taxi drivers in February argued its Via Mecenate address didn’t exist. Michele’s office is on the ground, looking out on a small forest where a river of fragrant white hyacinths has been planted for him. Across from a well-appointed employee cafeteria, there is a theater constructed in a former airplane hangar especially for Gucci’s seasonal fashion shows.
