Gucci collaborates with The Perfect Magazine to produce Notes from the Underground, inviting musical artists from the independent, experimental and avant-pop fringes to perform exclusively for Perfect across a variety of media. Working with Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele, photographer Steve Mackey drafted a shortlist of talents from across continents and genres, all connected by the fact they work at the more experimental edge of their field, then inviting the artists to create a film of themselves performing live. All musicians were given complete artistic freedom to document their performance in any way they wished, along with access to Gucci’s ‘Ouverture’ and 'Epilogue' collections. 

Accompanying each issue of The Perfect Magazine is a flexi disc, one of a series of 11, featuring a recording of each performance that can be played on a turntable like vinyl, with artwork designed by Alessandro Michele.
