The Gucci family don't really like people to blame their image.

The illustrious Italian fashion house reacted vehemently to the portrayal of her and her creators in

House of Gucci

, Ridley Scott's new film starring Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Lady Gaga and Adam Driver.

In the drama, the

Godfather

actor

plays Aldo Gucci, while Adam Driver plays his nephew Maurizio, who will take over from the mid-1980s until his death in 1995, murdered by a hired killer. by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga).

If the plot of the film is indeed based on real facts, it is on the personality of its emblematic figures that the Gucci family believes to have been ridiculed.

“The production of the film did not bother to consult with the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci - president of the company for 30 years - and the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them… It is extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the heritage on which the brand is built today ”, we can read in a statement from Gucci relayed by the

Guardian

.

Different reality

The family also criticizes the director for having taken liberties with Patrizia Reggiani, presented as "a victim trying to survive in a male and macho corporate culture".

The reality of the Gucci house would be very different, according to the press release.

“Several women held high-level positions.

Gucci is a family that lives by honoring the work of its ancestors, whose memory does not deserve to be disturbed to put on a show that is fake and that does not do justice to its protagonists.

The members of the Gucci family reserve the right to take measures to protect their name, their image and their dignity as well as that of those close to them ”, warned the heirs.

House of Gucci

was released on November 24 in France.
