Even his love of objects – he jokes that he does not understand the word “bin” as we chat in his office, seated on an antique, green velvet sofa that closely matches his gold-trimmed smoking jacket – Gucci has joined the elite ranks of Guess , Dior , Boucheron and Cartier with jewellery topping seven figures . Its 200-piece jewellery collection was revealed for the first time during Paris Haute Couture earlier this month . Behind the high jewellery venture is Luca Michele , who joined the firm as creative director in 2015 . The collection draws on inspiration from antique jewellery across the centuries , and the new standalone shop is also full of historical references . It aims to reflect gender diversity and , according to Michele , much of the collection can be worn by men or women .
