The Gyeongbokgung Palace was the venue of choice also for the Cosmogonie show, a repeat display of the collection unveiled in May 2022. In November last year, Gucci had to call off its repeat Cosmogonie show in Seoul following the tragic Halloween crowd crush in the city that killed more than 150 people and left dozens injured on the night of Oct. We hope the collaboration with Gucci will help the world discover the true charm of Gyeongbokgung Palace even more, where the past and present coexist.” Last year, as part of an agreement with the Cultural Heritage Administration, Gucci unveiled a three-year commitment to support the conservation and restoration of the Gyeongbokgung Palace, also known as The Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven.Ĭhoi Eung-chon, head of the Cultural Heritage Administration in Korea, said the site “was not only the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty but also a center of great developments in science, literature, architecture, and art, including the creation of Hangul (the Korean alphabet) and the advancement of astronomy. In this case, Bizzarri underscored that Gyeongbokgung Palace “is one of those wonders of the world that made us feel an instant connection with Korean culture and the people who created it - Florence and Seoul, Italy and Korea, so far away on the map but so close in the creation of wonder.” The location will help in “celebrating the past, as inspiration for the future.” He highlighted the ever-increasing strength of Gucci’s relationships with local communities and its support of local talents, projects that include the preservation of a country’s heritage.
