As if the Upper East Side couldn\u2019t get any more chic, Gucci\u2019s new president and CEO for the Americas has purchased a new-construction luxury apartment that was briefly listed for $4.49 million, Gimme Shelter has learned.<\/p>\n
The closing price is around $4.25 million, sources said.<\/p>\n
Christophe Marque\u2019s purchase comes as the Big Apple gears up for New York Fashion Week in mid-September, although Gucci \u2014 which was part of February\u2019s New York fashion week \u2014 does not appear to be a participant for the spring\/summer 2026 shows. Instead, the Italian luxury brand is focused on a reboot, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Christophe Marque began working at Gucci this year.<\/p>\n
