A princess for Gucci

The Italian brand creates an exclusive equestrian wardrobe for Charlotte Casiraghi.

Horseback riding, royalty and the legendary Tuscan luxury label. The mix of sport and style, the collaboration between a young blue-blood with impeccable taste like Charlotte Casiraghi, and a prestigious fashion brand is bound to last.

And the long-term partnership between Gucci and the Princess Caroline of Monaco's second daughter seems like a winner: Charlotte will participate in the Global Champions tour for 2010 and 2011, and while competing she will be wearing a sophisticated and technically-advanced equestrian wardrobe designed exclusively for her by the label's creative director, Frida Giannini. “I share Charlotte's passion for the sport,” says Giannini. “There's an immediate understanding between the two of us.” Like the Gucci brand, Princess Charlotte represents tradition and modernity, much like her grandmother Grace, who was also a muse for the brand.

This year's tour began on May 7th in Valencia and will conclude on August 29th, and the best riders in the world will
participate.
