FOR PRESENTS WITH A PRESENCE

Gucci brings festive cheer to the holiday rush with cruise and gifting collection

- MARBBIE TAGABUCBA

It's the most wonderful time of the year - bumpers and honking cars fill the metro streets under Christmas lights and parols. At the peak of rush hour, the basement of Gucci's Greenbelt 4 store is like an oasis. All is merry as the "Gucci Gang" - Anne Curtis Smith, Michelle Dee, Janine Gutierrez, Gabbi Garcia, James Reid and Issa Pressman - gather over steaming cups of Italian coffee and decadent hot chocolate, trimming wreaths as fabulously as they are dressed in pieces from the Cruise collection and Gucci Gift campaign.
