The Marsper x Gucci collection is set to drop soon, appealing to fans of the luxury label and collectors alike who want to own a piece of fashion history. Gucci's collaboration with the Chinese pop figurine brand introduces four exclusive figurines, each of which is dressed in a different look from an archival collection. These figures sport Gucci looks from Tom Ford’s 1996 collection, as well as Alessandro Michele’s 2015 Gucci Men’s Fall Collection.
The 11-inch figurines are not only tributes to Gucci looks of the past, but also the spirit of the current Gucci Cosmos exhibit in Shanghai.
Fans who want to get their hands on the Marsper x Gucci fashion figurines will be entered into an online lottery, which newly launched on Gucci’s WeChat Mini Program.
