Spring Summer 2020
This year, GLCO celebrates 10 years! And we are excited to show you the Spring/Summer collection as it is a true reflection of their vision and Venice community. Garrett pays tribute to his very first collection and the friends and family who have become a part of his brand.
For Spring 2020, you will see a modern spin on your favorite styles from the last ten years, reflecting on those initial inspirations and the energy that pulsed through our Venice community.
It’s been amazing seeing the evolution of GLCO, and how the authenticity of the brand is still rooted in the place we call home.
With this campaign, we take a look back at our origins, and invite you to experience our vision for the future.
