I was interested to read this after watching the movie, and clearly Forden has done a really impressive amount of research here and included a lot of details that weren't able to be included in the movie. However for meeeee I think it was ultimately more information than I wanted. I think I was actually satisfied with the amount of information in the movie. The movie was smart to focus on the Maurizio/Patricia angle as an emotional throughline, which this kind of lacked. Which, as a work of nonfiction it didn't necessarily require one? But without it, for me personally with my level of unfamiliarity with Gucci in general, it just made it more of a struggle to get through.
Also I had to keep googling like “Gucci moccasin” and then being like “wow people are into that huh?”
