How do you capture the glamorous and competitive world of 1970’s Formula One racing? Just turn to Gucci creative director Frida Giannini. She collaborated with Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard on costumes for “Rush,” his new feature about the rivalry between race car champions Niki Lauda and James Hunt. In the film, Chris Hemsworth and Olivia Wilde, who play Hunt and his wife Suzy Miller, respectively, wear Gucci archival pieces. Hemsworth sports a trim velvet blazer among other pieces while Wilde dazzles in a sleek shearling coat and maxi Flora chiffon dress. “James Hunt’s style is full of animal sensuality,” says Giannini, “while Suzy Miller’s is the essence of Gucci—a mix of sexy allure and natural innocence.” “Rush” hits theaters this September. http://www.rushmovie.com
