‘House of Gucci’ : A Deep Dive into the Scandal That Shook The Fashion World

The House of Gucci film hits theaters this Thursday, with director Ridley Scott taking us on a journey through events inspired by the true story of the Gucci family. As we all know, the rise of the Italian luxury fashion house gave us many timeless fashions but also scandalous drama. Starring Lady Gaga, Jared Leto, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, and Salma Hayek, the upcoming film explores the story of Patrizia Reggiani, also known as “Lady Gucci”, who was an Italian socialite who married Maurizio Gucci, heir to the Gucci house, and ultimately organized a plot to have him murdered. House of Gucci takes you on a spiraling ride through the Gucci family legacy and the true-life scandal that take over the endless headlines.

The life of luxury was something that Patrizia Reggiani always knew. Ever since she was a young girl, her father pampered her with luxe fur coats, sports cars, and other lavish things. Maintaining her lifestyle, Reggiani managed to always attend the hottest parties and elite social gatherings which eventually led her to meeting her soon-to-be husband Maurizio Gucci.

The two met at a party where Reggiani claims, “He fell madly in love with me. I was exciting and different.” The couple wed in 1972 around the age of 24, becoming one of the first Italian celebrity power couples. Constantly splattered across front pages, Gucci and Reggiani were known for their extravagant lifestyles of numerous luxurious properties including a penthouse at Olympic Tower in Manhattan, monochromatic parties, and even casually hanging out with the Kennedys. Not to mention, it was hard to miss them as they drove around in their chauffeured car with a personalized license plate that read “Maurizia”, a couple’s name with combines the two’s original first names.

Reggiani eventually gave birth to two daughters and even worked alongside Gucci as his chief adviser for business at Gucci. Everything was literally perfect for about a decade until Gucci’s father, Rodolfo, died in 1983 where he inherited a 50% stake in Gucci. At this time, Reggiani noticed a change in Gucci as he stopped seeking advice from her altogether and focused on trying to recover the brand’s prestigious status which weakened due to over-licensing of its “GG” logo.

Gucci bought his cousins and uncle out of half of the business with the help of Bahrain-based investment company Investcorp. Continuing on with more poor business decisions, Gucci was diminishing as a company under Maurizio’s reign, leading him to inevitably selling the company to Investcorp in 1993.

In between the chaos on the business side, the couple’s marriage was also suffering as Gucci became involved with Paolo Franchi. He left Reggiani overnight one day after becoming somewhat fed up with her constant input despite running the business into the ground at the same time. While many believe that Reggiani was jealous of Franchi, she quoted Maurizio’s business decisions with the brand as one of the things she was most angry about with him.

Now living with Franchi, Maurizio received death threats and verbal abuse from Reggiani through cassette tapes and phone calls. Franchi, worried that Reggiani would act on her words, even begged Maurizio to get a bodyguard to which he declined.

On the morning of March 27, 1995, Maurizio Gucci was murdered on his red velvet carpet by a gunman who also injured the doorman Giuseppe Onorato. Reggiani immediately became a suspect, however there was not enough evidence at hand to convict her. She skated by for two years until one of her accomplices bragged about carrying out the murder to the someone who eventually told the police, leading to an investigation and eventually an arrest in 1997 of everyone involved including Patrizia Reggiani.

With one of the biggest stories and an even-juicier trial in the late 1990s, Patrizia Reggiani was sentenced to 29 years along with shooter Benedetto Ceraulo, driver Orazio Cicala, and friend Giuseppina Auriemma in 1998. It is revealed during the trial that Reggiani ordered the killing to be done quickly before Maurizio and Franchi got married. Reggiani was to receive a settlement in the divorce and, per Giuseppina Auriemma, couldn’t allow another woman to replace her nor take everything she’s earned including money and status.

Following her sentencing, she was offered parole in 2011 if she found a job of which she turned down. After living a life of luxury, the thought of working was not in her future plans. In fact, she told her lawyer: “I’ve never worked in my life and I don’t intend to start now.” However, she changed her mind in 2014 when she was released and secured a position at Bozart, a jewelry store in Milan.

In 2014 following her release, she even expressed how she wanted to still work for Gucci despite everything that happened. In an interview with La Reppublica, she shared, “They need me. I still feel like a Gucci – in fact, the most Gucci of them all.”

The Guardian

The 1990s shockingly true story of Gucci is one that is filled with betrayal, luxurious self-indulgence, and ultimately murder. More importantly, it shows how far some people will go to protect legacy and status by any means. House of Gucci explores all of these facets of the highly-publicized Gucci story in addition to taking us through over 20 years of styles and craftmanship supplied by the Gucci fashion house including the iconic GG monogram and original canvas.

You can watch the story unravel on the big screen on Thanksgiving!

A Guide to Finding the Best Online Store for Sweatpants

Sweatpants are casual and comfortable clothes that most people would like to be wearing pretty much all the time. But finding a store with sweatpants for sale can be difficult as there are so many different brands and styles, and many online stores sell either one or more types of sweatpants.

There are different types, but not all stores have them. Here is a guide to finding the right ones to suit you:

Types of Sweatpants You’ll Find Online

Casual Styles

Some people prefer pants that are more fitted or sold in styles other than athletic, meaning they can be worn for day-to-day events. Some stores sell these pants during the winter when they can be worn over leggings for extra warmth and style. Others offer them all year round because of their popularity. Casual, stylish ones are also great for lounging, going out to run errands, or spending a day at home.

Cuffed Cargo Pants

Cargo pants are another style of casual sweatpants, but they have a loose fit and cuffs at the bottom. Cuffed cargo pants usually come in solid colors or simple prints. They can be great for all seasons and occasions.

Fitted Jogger Pants

Jogger pants are also known as tapered sweats as they provide a more fitted style which slims the legs. That being said, they are still easy to move since they do not get in the way of your feet or ankles. These pants look suitable for wearing out with friends, going to the gym, or simply relaxing at home.

Athletic Joggers

These are cuffed at the ankle or even have stirrups for added comfort. They are great for working out, lounging, going out in, and running errands. Ultimately, they are comfortable and practical clothes that can be worn during any season whether it’s winter or summer.   

How to Find the Best Stores 

The best online stores to buy sweatpants will have a wide variety of styles available. Here is how you can find them:

Look at the Variety Available

The first thing to look at is how many styles are available. This is important because if you need these pants for running, athletic wear, or yoga wear, you will want to make sure that the store has them in these types of styles. If not, you may have to shop at different stores specializing in just one type of clothing, which can be time-consuming.

Look at the Quality of the Sweatpants

Quality is the next thing to consider. If you are shopping for athletic wear, you will want pants that fit exceptionally well and have advanced qualities to enhance your performance during physical activity. 

If you are looking for casual pants, you will want extraordinarily comfortable and well-made pants. You may even want to look at different stores for different qualities of clothes, as some stores specialize in quality clothes while others specialize in casual clothes.

How to Know if Online Stores Are Trustworthy

Lastly, the best online stores will have good reviews and ratings from past customers. It will help if you read reviews from many different customers, as each person has a unique opinion based on their experience with the store.

How was the customer service? Were they 100% satisfied with the quality? Did their sweatpants fit well? You might come across a few bad reviews before you find a very good one, but it is worth it if it means finding an online store that has the clothes you want.

Do They Offer Sustainable Sweatpants?

Check if the store offers sustainable options. These are casual clothes that most people often wear, so they must be made after carefully considering their impact on the environment. 

Some stores specialize in sustainable sweats, while others offer them as an option besides regular ones. These sustainable pants are typically made from recycled materials, so they are an excellent option for those who want to do their part in making the world a better place.

Before You Buy

Before you buy any sweatpants, look at the store’s return policy as well. If anything goes wrong with your pants – even if it is something like a sizing error – then you need to be able to return them and get your money back or swap for a new pair. If you find an online store with the clothes you want, but their return policy isn’t good, you should probably look elsewhere.

Another thing to consider is how often the store offers sales and discounts. You can usually find great deals if you sign up for an email list or like their page on social media, as stores will send out coupons by email that you won’t want to miss. These will help you save money, and since these pants are a staple in your wardrobe, you will want to look for these types of deals.

Conclusion

Sweatpants are probably one of the most popular types of casual clothes, and for good reason too. They are comfortable, easy to wear, and can be worn with all kinds of tops, t-shirts, hoodies and jackets.

The 30-Day Countdown: 8 Important Things to Do the Month Before Your Wedding

Feeling overwhelmed is normal the closer you get to your wedding day. It seems like you can’t spare even just a minute to relax since your tasks will pile up if you do.  

This feeling of overwhelmingness that comes with it can become more pronounced weeks before your wedding. When you reach the one-month mark, you will also become more stressed out as you work through your planning and to-do list.

You may even start feeling that a month won’t be enough to pull off the wedding of your dreams.

The 30-Day Wedding Countdown

Creating another checklist for the important things you have to do a month before your wedding can help you stay organized and complete all your tasks before your big day.  

Below are eight vital things you have to prioritize the month prior to your wedding:

  1. Double-check your wedding bands.

The ideal time to check and double-check your wedding rings is four weeks before the big day.

If you ordered lab-grown diamond wedding bands because they are more affordable yet look like and are as strong as their mined counterparts, but haven’t received them yet, find out if you will get them on time.

If you already have your wedding rings, check if they fit your and your partner’s fingers. If they don’t, find out how long the jeweler needs to adjust them.  

Also, if you and your partner want to have your wedding bands engraved, check with your jeweler how long it will take them to do this. Make sure you get this done two to three weeks before your big day.

Keep in mind that although your lab-grown diamond wedding bands already look stunning, having them engraved will give them a more personal and romantic touch, making them more valuable pieces of jewelry for you as a couple.

  1. Write your vows.

If you are writing your vows, the longer time you have, the better.

Your vows are the mainstay of your wedding. They are your promises to one another. In the future, you might regret how much time you spent stressing on details that may go unnoticed, but you won’t feel sorry sitting down to think about your declarations to your loved one.

If you don’t know where and how to start writing your vows, follow these simple tips:

  • Go online to read examples of wedding vows.
  • Record your special experiences together that always make you smile or evoke happy emotions and choose one or two that you can add as stories.
  • Speak with your partner about the tone.
  • Come up with at least two promises.
  • Avoid cliches.
  • Add a reference to your future together.

Working on your vows for at least a month gives you plenty of time to polish your speech

Remember to try to keep it under two minutes. Since you have several weeks to write and rewrite it, you will be able to stick to this limit, yet still, exchange words that are memorable and special with your partner.

  1. Take care of all the legal aspects associated with getting married.

Make sure you have everything you need to have a religious or civil wedding, most particularly a marriage license.

Also, you can start working on the process of changing your name (if you plan to). Call, visit, or check your town or city’s courthouse website to find out the process.

Prioritize changing your name on your driver’s license, passport, and other government-issued identification.

Also, find out how you can change your name on your credit and debit cards and your beneficiaries for your investment accounts and insurance plans.

  1. Wrap up your wedding guest headcount.

At least three weeks before your big day, go over the list of people you invited and check who have responded that they will attend your wedding.  

Also, call or send a message or email the invitees who missed the deadline and find out if they are going or not.

Once you have the final headcount, give your caterer and venue organizer the number so that they can get everything ready for the event.

If some of your guests are from out of town, help them find suitable accommodations. Try to arrange transportation for them as well, especially if they are flying in.

Lastly, consider assembling gift baskets for your out-of-town guests. You can ask your bridesmaids and friends to help you with this.

  1. Finalize everything and check in regularly with your vendors.

With nearly everything set in stone, you can finalize all the details with your vendors.

Aside from giving your final guest count to your caterer and venue organizer, you should:

  • Send your wedding playlist to the DJ or band.
  • Check with your florist regarding your chosen flowers and their arrangements.
  • Create and send a list of key shots you want your photographer to capture during the wedding.
  • Go over the pickup times and locations with your transportation service provider, including your limousine chauffeur, if you hired one.

A week before your wedding, consider paying your vendors in full to avoid the hassles of doing this on your special day.

  1. Organize your seating chart.

Since you already have the complete guest list, you can now set up the seating chart.

Start with the easy tables, such as your parents, siblings, close relatives and friends, co-employees, etc.

Next, work on your harder-to-place guests, including your single friends and relatives. Try seating them in empty spots at various tables, preferably with one or two people they already know.

  1. Double-check everything you’ll wear on your wedding day. 

A week or two before your special day, do your final dress fitting.

Make sure you follow these steps to ensure you look and feel like a princess on your wedding day:

  • Wear the undergarments you will use on your wedding day to check if they fit you and won’t distract from your ensemble.
  • Wear your wedding shoes during the fitting and break them in by walking in them at home.
  • Try on your earrings, necklace, and other jewelry pieces.
  • Put on your veil, topper, and other accessories you plan to wear on your wedding.  
  1. Organize all beauty appointments.

Lastly, organize your beauty appointments to ensure you look and feel your best on your wedding day.

These include getting a haircut, eyebrow shaping, and hair removal treatment. Don’t forget to get a massage, facial, and other spa treatments to help you relax and get a glowing look.

Also, make sure you have already selected and booked your hair and makeup artists for your wedding day.

With this checklist, you can make the most out of your remaining four weeks of planning and preparation, experience less stress, and have the wedding of your dreams.
