Gucci Timepieces Signs Partnership With Latin Recording Academy
Milan, Italy—Gucci Timepieces and Jewelry and The Latin Recording Academy announce the signing of an exclusive two-year partnership, resulting in a special-edition collection of timepieces and jewelry inspired by the eclectic world of Latin American music. This new partnership complements the on-going collaboration with the Grammy Awards and The Recording Academy, and underscores Gucci’s commitment to the world of music.
"Music, much like film, is such an active part of today's culture and it also frequently provides inspiration for my work as a designer," said Gucci creative director Frida Giannini.
Gucci will exhibit the collection as host of an exclusive preview suite at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas during Latin Grammy Week (November 7-10).
In addition, at this year’s 12th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, The Latin Recording Academy will provide a special Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry Award to the young emerging Latin artists who are currently nominated for “Best New Artist.” These are: Pablo Alboran (Spain), Max Capote (Uruguay), Paula Fernandes (Brasil), Il Volo (Italy), and Sie7e (Puerto Rico).
