The fourth edition of the Gucci Paris Masters took place past weekend at the Parc des Expositions in Villepinte, Paris. Passionate equestrian riders and friends of the House attended several competitions throughout the three day event.

Saturday marked the first highlight of the weekend with The Style & Competition for Amade Challenge, orchestrated by Gucci-sponsored Charlotte Casiraghi. The competitors were judged by Xavier de Moulins, Vincent Perez and Virginie Couperie Eiffel, on behalf of Gucci. A 180.000 euro donation went to AMADE Mondiale, of which H.R.H Princess Caroline de Hanover is the President. Gucci sponsored two teams, the first with Charlotte Casiraghi and Edwina Tops-Alexander, who took 3rd place in Competition and 1st in Style, and the second featuring Alex Hua Tian and Jessica Springsteen.

The culmination of the three days was The Gucci Grand Prix, which carried a prize of 300.000 euro, and brought together the best 44 riders in the world. The winner of this year’s Gucci Grand Prix was Marc Houtzager (NED).

The brand which was founded in 1985 came to be known for its range of printed sarees and accessories, and has recently roped in designer Masaba Gupta to spearhead its design process.

The Gurgaon based brand which was headed by Puneet Nanda by date will see Masaba getting on board from this month. The young 24-year old designer known for her quirky print-full collections is expected to bring a whiff of freshness to the label.

It was also revealed that actor Lisa Ray will collaborate with Satya Paul to design an exclusive fashion line.
