Gabicci: Big in the '80s, and big now.

Harking back to the '80s, when the logo was bigger and bolder, these Gabicci cardigans were featured in the Nick Love film The Firm and epitomised the 'smarter side of casual' look that the Gabicci designs of the time specialised in.


An underground style leader in the '70s when launched, Gabicci became adopted by the 'northern soul' music scene and later the '80s casuals culture- leading to its prominent showing in The Firm alongside '80s stalwarts Fila and Sergio Tacchini. The association with football and music led to Gabicci Vintage becoming a favourite of several music and sports icons in recently. Aggro Santos can be found wearing Gabicci Polo tops, BBC 1 Xtra DJs Rampage are Gabicci fans too, and can often be seen sporting Gabicci goods. Sportsmen Rio Ferdiand wears Gabicci, and Ian Wright can often be seen in Gabicci shirts on television.


These celebrity endorsements show that Gabicci is as strong a brand now as it was in the '70s and '80s. Get yours now- Gabicci at Stuarts.
