In the two-minute campaign video, envisioned by Alessandro Michele and shot by Glen Luchford, Gosling wears Gucci’s Spring 2022 collection. Amid the set inspired by the seventies, the 41-year-old goes on a journey through time and space, beginning in a motel room. Gosling then approaches his vehicle, a pick-up truck filled to the brim with pieces of Gucci luggage with symbolic elements like the GG monogram and Web stripe.
The new campaign echoes the house’s origin. After the motel, Gosling passes through multiple destinations, including a beach and London’s Savoy Hotel. Decades ago, Gucci’s founder, Guccio Gucci, worked at The Savoy as a luggage porter as a young man. With the exposure to the property’s lavish guests—and their luxurious frocks and luggage—Guccio was inspired to build his own artisanal atelier.
