Answer: Explanation:

No, It is not relevant because Gucci does business in that state which is an adequate requirement of minimum contact.

Also, the fact that Gucci America's headquarter is in the New York state was not relevant to the court's analysis here because Gucci was the plaintiff. Courts look at defendant location with the forum in determining whether to exercise personal jurisdiction. The plaintiffs location is irrelevant to this determination.
