Launched in 1973, Gabicci first came into being when its two creators were inspired by a trip to the Italian seaside resort of Gabicce Mare. A mixture of East End rag trade expertise, sharp Italian styling and a nod to the ’50′s rock and screen icons and the look was born. Gabicci fast became an underground style leader and embodied a look adopted by the ‘Northern Soul’ music scene. In the ’80′s the brand appeared in the early ‘casuals’ look. Worn with a pair of Farah trousers, Gabicci and the iconic metal G quickly became a key look for anyone in that scene or wanting to be associated to it. Lately, several key music style leaders and sportsmen have been spotted wearing Gabicci Vintage, and the brand featured heavily in the new Nick Love re-make of the ’80′s film ‘The Firm’.
Through this continuing association both with football and the young music scene, Gabicci Vintage is again the brand to be seen in. Current designs pay homage to key original knitted styles complete with mock suede trims, together with jersey tops and polos inspired by archive photographs and original samples, all bearing the iconic gold ‘G’. The look is ‘slim’ with quality yarns and fabrics used throughout the collection in colours which are both rich and bright. Polo shirts are in superspft 100% cotton, whilst the knitwear is fine knit cotton with a cashmere feel finish and high quality merino wool blends.
