The campaign features a “serene group of friends” against a fantastical backdrop of vibrant flowers. As the group encounters rabbits in the field, their playful nature rubs off on friends, who jump and run through the mystical area.
To ensure the rabbits’ safety during the production, Gucci revealed that an animal welfare organization, Bureau Veritas, was present and verified the safety of animals.
The capsule collection — available for women, men and children — includes ready-to-wear garments, bags, shoes, silks and accessories.
