Gucci presented its 2025 Cruise collection, selecting London as the destination for its fashion show. The show, encompassing all aspects, resonates with life’s dichotomies: rigor and extravagance, strength and delicacy, Englishness with an Italian accent. Creative Director Sabato De Sarno expresses “I owe a lot to this city, it has welcomed and listened to me. The same is true for Gucci, whose founder was inspired by his experience there.”

The collection merges workwear with street and salon styles. Fragility intertwines with strength, as seen in the iconic lobster clasp transformed into a feminine pearl necklace. Horsehair details across suede pay homage to the House’s passion for the equestrian world. Denim, flat ballerinas, and creepers are also incorporated. Plaids are reinterpreted, and the Gucci Blondie bag from 1970s Italy makes an appearance in leather or toile, colliding with an emblematic logo.
