We all know what happens when you find together Christopher Simmonds in the Art DirectionGlen Luchford on the cameraJoe McKenna in fashion and Vanessa Redgrave as the chosen one girl. It’s the magical Gucci‘s latest Resort 2017 campaign

Set at Chatsworth, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, this campaign is a celebration of quintessentially British culture. Here, british actress Vanessa Redgrave becomes a painting as an eclectic portrait of the British spirit and marking the start of Gucci’s three-year cultural partnership with Chatsworth.

It is now when a group of characters in the grounds and interior of Chatsworth, surrounded by chickens and dogs; interact with the animals playfully, their punk attitudes juxtaposed with the grandiose, stately surroundings.

From late ’70s punk youth subculture to beautiful landscape gardens, Gucci’s Creative Director Alessandro Michele cites British culture as a source of constant inspiration.
