From Jane Birkin to Zoe Kravitz, trendsetters have consistently turned to Gucci’s signature shoe: the horsebit loafer.
What do late former US president George H. W. Bush, ’60s muse Jane Birkin and rapper Wiz Khalifa all have in common? Despite their vastly differing personal styles and occupations, they have all been spotted in a pair of Gucci horsebit loafers. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the distinctive shoe, recognizable by its metal snaffle flourish, which has become a piece of fashion history — one so renowned that a pair entered the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s permanent collection in 1984.
Gucci died in 1953, just weeks after sons Aldo, Rodolfo and Vasco opened the brand’s first flagship store in New York. That same year, inspired by his father’s beloved equine motifs, Aldo created the horsebit loafer in the hopes of enticing the same clientele Guccio had encountered at The Savoy. Loafers were already a popular footwear choice in the 1950s, though they were typically worn for more casual occasions.
