Why do people like Gucci?

[𝓡𝓮𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓒𝓪𝓽]

I'm pretty curious as to why Gucci clothing is so popular, I personally find it ugly. Are they the Apple brand of the clothing world? I mainly notice teens and younger adults wearing this ugly stuff.

Rappers and famous people.

I wouldn't say they ugly, Gucci clothing does look nice but for me personally, it's a waste of money but young people have a different mindset to older people.

When I was young, I used to spend vast amounts of money on named brands because I though back then, it was cool and had bragging rights to say 'look at me, im wearing a £100 shirt'. Looking back to my younger days, I look at a idoit who wasted tens of thousands of pounds on nonsense when I could of invested that money on property.

Gucci items have a hefty price tag, so wearing it makes you a status symbol. Just another case of quantity over quality, "quantity" being money.

For the same reason why people are inclined to following trends set by the influential.

That looks like it would still be out of style if it came out 70 years ago.

It looks like it'd still be out of style at any point in time.

I really don't know why but here its shoes for the "street cred" or "rep" then again it seems hood culture is still mainstream somewhat...

I'd rather invest into a hobby or property/stocks...Etc

Because people are stupid.
End of story.
