Since in 1973 Gabicci has played a huge part in music and youth culture, worn by the likes of The Specials and Bob Marley. Even today its metal ‘G’ logo remains a very iconic symbol within the Northern soul, Ska, and Reggae circles.

The definitive Gabbici look incorporates Italian inspired styling with an air of authority and class. This soulful look follows in the footsteps set out by the ‘Rude boys’ and the ‘Rastas’, first popular in Jamaica and then immerging on the London music scene in the mid 70’s and 80’s.

With a new generation searching for true heritage and quality,  Gabicci is seeing a fresh surge in popularity and growth with artists like The View and  Labrinth wearing the brand on stage, as well as a very passionate online community.

AW/12 stays true to its original colour palette with mustard, browns, navy and greens being the back bone of the classic look. Knitwear and tweed are also key this season paired with an impressive selection of trousers and shirting. The signature polo shirts are enhanced with fine gold detailing including a statement chained collar pin, zips and the iconic ‘G’ logo.  Attention to detail is as strong as ever with their very unique accentuated collars, metal branding and heavy suede trim.
