A wave of excitement rippled through Gucci headquarters this week as Sabato De Sarno’s debut collection began gracing stores and the world.
Just days ago, a chance encounter at a gallery left him beaming. There, amidst the art, stood a woman exuding confidence in the lime green, crystal-fringed coat from the previous season – the very one with its hefty price tag. Initial disbelief (“Did my team loan it out?”) quickly turned into pure joy upon learning she had purchased it. “I love my collection,” De Sarno declared, “but seeing others embrace it with such passion is truly rewarding.”
Last September, De Sarno unveiled his vision for a new, revitalized Gucci. He envisioned a more streamlined aesthetic, focusing on what he called “wardrobe essentials,” a departure from the brand’s recent flamboyant tendencies.
While the soundtrack for his presentation hinted at a “reset,” De Sarno swiftly dispelled any notions of drastic changes. “It’s simply a song I connect with,” he explained, “a piece I used to dance to.”
For this collection, De Sarno embarked on a personal challenge: blending “what I despise with what I adore to forge something entirely new.” This resulted in opening coats meticulously stitched with cascading paillettes (embroidery, a personal aversion) and a daring combination: a narrow bustier dress and a hip-hugging tunic constructed from double-face wool cashmere in a peculiar green shade dubbed “rotten” by his team (a color that, admittedly, lacked the vibrancy of their signature “Rosso Ancora”).
Adding a subtle touch of the 1970s and a hint of Prada-esque influence, the collection featured slip dresses adorned with a graphic heron motif, mirrored on a jacquard caban jacket – a detail only discernible to the keenest observer.
“Themes aren’t my forte,” De Sarno declared. “The clothes themselves are the essence of my vision.” This approach, however, sparks a crucial debate: is such a philosophy sufficient for a brand of Gucci’s global stature? While De Sarno undeniably possesses exceptional technical expertise, the question of whether his design philosophy can adequately propel the brand forward remains an open one.
Sheer and layered wonders emerge in the form of embroidered lace and velvet shifts, playing on transparency and the art of layering. Meanwhile, knitwear pieces are enriched with shimmering sequins and a dazzling crystal fringe, adding a touch of unexpected opulence to Gucci Fall Winter 2024 collection.
The runway Gucci Fall Winter 2024 welcomed a fresh wave of Gucci handbags this season, each one echoing the collection’s distinctive color palette and signature elements. The pillowy-soft Milano Gucci GG marmont top handle bag, crafted from luxurious nappa with a naturally silky touch, offered a touch of contemporary elegance.
Another unique design, featuring a half-moon silhouette, showcased a new, sleek variation of the iconic Double G logo. And for a timeless touch with a modern twist, a classic Gucci bucket bag was reimagined with double bamboo handles, adding a touch of emblematic flair.
Paying homage to the House’s equestrian heritage, the runway was graced with a collection of striking shoes. Gucci Knee high Boots and Gucci over the knee boots, reminiscent of riding attire, featured signature Web pull tabs and an elongated Horsebit detail, adding a touch of equestrian elegance.
Building on a timeless classic, the iconic Gucci Horsebit loafers was reimagined as a platform slingback, topped with the eponymous hardware for a touch of modern flair.
Echoing the equestrian theme, archival necklaces gleamed in galvanized gold, their studded motif woven with a long ribbon. These statement pieces complemented every look, while cat-eye acetate sunglasses added a final flourish of retro-inspired chic.
Conclusion: A Dreamt Reality with Subtle Subversion: Sabato De Sarno’s vision for Gucci Fall Winter 2024 transcends the boundaries of conventional fashion shows. It’s a tangible dreamscape woven into reality, where subtle subversion elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary. The collection breathes new life into familiar silhouettes, defying expectations through different perspectives and a disregard for convention.
Meticulous craftsmanship takes center stage, evident in the colossal coats, some featuring a playful hidden detail – a testament to De Sarno’s dedication to exceptional technique. Sheer and layered wonders emerge in the form of embroidered shifts, while knitwear shimmers with embellishments, adding a touch of playful opulence.
De Sarno doesn’t just present clothes; he presents a statement. He invites us to step into a world of unexpected beauty, reimagining the possibilities of fashion. Whether through the equestrian-inspired footwear or the retro-inspired sunglasses, each element echoes the House’s rich heritage.
While De Sarno’s design philosophy, centered solely on the clothes themselves, sparks debate, the collection undeniably delivers a unique blend of the familiar and the unexpected. With its exquisite craftsmanship and playful touches of subversion, the Gucci Fall Winter 2024 collection promises to leave a lasting impression.
