Gucci Wooster, an experiential retail space and creative hub opened by Gucci in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood in May, has added a bookstore, Gotham magazine reported. The store officially opened last week and is a collaboration with Dashwood Books, an independent photography bookstore in NoHo.
The Gucci Wooster Bookstore carries some 2,000 titles with a focus on avant-garde art, fashion, design, culture and photography, along with a range of niche magazines. The bookstore also features work from a variety of famous artists and designers and will host book and author events. The inaugural event was a poetry reading with musician Florence Welch, of the band Florence and the Machine and author of Useless Magic: Lyrics and Poetry (Crown Archetype).
David Strettell of Dashwood Books told Vogue that Gucci Wooster's titles, new and out of print, are priced from $20-$1,000 and "hopefully there's something for everyone."
