BUY A CLASSIC FOR THE SPACE AGE

GUCCI's cult Jackie bag - created by Jackie Kennedy in the Fifties and the Holy Grail for collectors of vintage - is just one of the pieces YOOX.COM is selling this month in an exclusive online tribute to the house. The incredible collection includes handbags, scarves and dresses from the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies - meaning cyber-savvy fashionistas can tap into this summer's retro trend in rare and original pieces. Among the treasures on sale is a pure silk "foulard" scarf in Gucci's famed Flora print, which was designed by Rodolpho Gucci and Italian artist Accornero especially for Grace Kelly, signed by Accornero himself. Yoox worked in collaboration with Cavalli and Nastri, two renowned Milanese vintage stores, as well as private collectors to collate the tribute, which you can buy at www.yoox.com. Have a click around while you're there - Yoox is the biggest e-tailer of multi-brand fashion and design in Europe and recently launched The Vintage Factory, another haven for vintage junkies, dedicated to Pop Art and Warhol's Factory Girls.
