Despite their vastly differing personal styles and occupations, they have all been spotted in a pair of Gucci horsebit loafers.
In mid-June, coinciding with the menswear shows at Milan Fashion Week, Gucci will stage an exhibition celebrating the legacy of its signature loafer.
In 1974, George H. W. Bush wore a pair of horsebit loafers to meet then-President Gerald Ford.
Through the decadesThe success of Gucci’s horsebit loafers has been far-reaching, and the secret to their ongoing relevance may lie in the shoe’s versatility.
The horsebit loafer is Gucci’s answer to the near-philosophical question: What shoes do I wear?
