As a lifelong Gucci enthusiast who has been captivated by their enchanting designs since my teenage years, I must say that Sabato de Sarno’s Spring 2025 womenswear collection left me absolutely spellbound. The show at Milan’s Triennale di Milano was a breathtaking ode to Gucci’s rich heritage and a testament to the designer’s visionary talent.
On Friday, Sabato de Sarno presented his vision for women’s wear in the year ahead on a runway bathed in Ancora tones at Milan’s Triennale di Milano, where Gucci showcased their Spring 2025 menswear collection in June. Dakota Johnson, Kirsten Dunst, Raye, Jin, and others sat prominently in the front row, while Mark Ronson and Julian Dobson’s music filled the air as de Sarno’s fashion troupe paraded through the museum halls, celebrating the legacy of the Italian brand by interpreting its heritage through the lens of fascination.
Among all the popular Gucci items, their luxurious leather bags are undoubtedly the ones that draw the most attention. Of these, the Gucci Bamboo 1947 – a stylish leather shoulder bag featuring a hand-carved bamboo handle – is particularly beloved by many. De Sarno has reintroduced this iconic accessory in its original design, but with subtle modern updates by the brand’s master craftsmen using materials like leather, lacquer, and Plexiglas. Additionally, another version of the classic handbag was creatively reinvented by Japanese artists as a tribute to Gucci’s 60th anniversary in Japan.
In other areas, intricate bamboo patterns adorned numerous small accessories, while Gucci’s iconic Horsebit emblem caught the gaze, not just on its 73 Bucket Bag, but also a wide variety of shoes: platforms, creepers, ballerinas, and ankle boots. For dedicated Gucci enthusiasts, there was plenty of heritage to appreciate for a long time.
De Sarno’s ready-to-wear line drew inspiration from the 1960s, incorporating architectural coats, A-line skirts, and shorts that embodied the Space Age elegance, vibrant youthfulness of Swinging London, and the sophisticated class associated with Jackie Kennedy. The GG monogram adorned both formal coats and casual pieces like tank tops and denim, creating a sense of grandeur in both realms. Leather silhouettes provided a strong protective layer, while lace dresses and subtle peeks of lingerie showcased the femininity of the Gucci woman. The color palette – including Gucci Rosso Ancora, lime green, citrus orange, white, and grey – balanced bold expression with demure elegance.
In sync with Fiordaliso’s “Non Voglio Mica La Luna”, De Sarno’s Spring 2025 women’s collection completed its final lap through the venue. “A pivotal instant,” the designer named it. “An instant to grasp and experience wholeheartedly.” It might be that De Sarno’s strategy of revitalizing some iconic Gucci shapes will help him in his mission to restore the House’s past financial prosperity – completely.
