Gucci Cruise 2025 Was a Love Letter to London

General

At
Gucci’s
cruise
2025
show
tonight,
gone
were
the
sky-high
platforms
and
wedges
of
last
season.
Instead,
they
were
replaced
with
moccasin-ballet
flat
hybrids
and
creepers—the
latter
a
nod
to
London,
where
the
Italian
house
presented
its
latest
collection
at
the
Tate
Modern.
“I
owe
a
lot
to
this
city,”
De
Sarno
said
in
a
press
release.
“It
has
welcomed
and
listened
to
me.
The
same
is
true
for
Gucci,
whose
founder
[Guccio
Gucci]
was
inspired
by
his
experience
there,”
when
he
worked
as
a
porter
at
the
city’s
grand
Savoy
Hotel.

With

Dua
Lipa,
Alexa
Chung,
and
Kate
Moss
seated
front
row,
creative
director
Sabato
de
Sarno
took
inspiration
from
London’s
Swinging
Sixties
heyday
with
mod
rompers,
wool
check
coats,
and
whimsical
daisy
prints.
The
show
opened
with
the
perfect
relaxed
jeans,
worn
with
the
Blondie
bag
and
tan
suede
Horsebit
ballet
flats.
Several
looks
followed
that
featured
pastel
chiffon
pussy-bow
blouses,
accessorized
by
a
single
strand
of
pearls.
It
was
feminine
and
effortlessly
cool,
à
la
British
icon
Jane
Birkin—complete
with
long,
undone
hair,
big
sunglasses,
and
equally
oversized
bags.

Although
Ancora
red
and
patent
leather
(De
Sarno’s
signature
color
and
fabrication)
made
a
few
appearances
on
the
runway,
the
pastels,
tan
suede,
denim,
and
crisp
white
billowy
blouses
are
the
vibe
we
will
all
be
after
this
season.
The
use
of
embroidery
to
form
geometric
beaded
prints,
3-D
daisies,
and
long
sequin
strands
on
denim
showcased
the
house’s
skilled
craftsmanship.

The
delicately
pleated,
ethereal
finale
dresses
that
floated
down
the
runway
were
the
perfect
way
to
close
this
divine
cruise
show—and
DJ
Mark
Ronson
had
Moss
&
co.
on
the
dance
floor
until
the
wee
hours.
