Gucci S/S 2025 Milan

[GivenchyAddict]

^there is nothing to show.

so true about the camera work - very annoying and not conducive to a fashion show at all.
also, while the sets are indeed pretty, i agree with those who think a pared down minimal set would have worked better with a seemingly pared down minimal Gucci.
the clothes were ok *shrug*

I don't think that he is a bad designer, I actually find him decent. He just doesn't have the vision that a creative director needs.
I would have styled the clothes in a more revealing way, give the models a sunburnt look and make up a la 70's Lui magazine. Make the hair sleazy. Ditch the huge sets for a short simple runway with a spot light like in the 90's.

Designers now simply aren't imaginative enough to consider something like this.

Hands down his best Ancora collection, but I still don’t like it. It’s all wasteful. The neon green lace made me long for Christopher Kane though.

 

[MaraPiovani]

For sure its his last collection, very CK for teens… bye bye

 

[lhhbl]

Probably the worst fitting of the season.
The clothes were not horrible but it’s nothing exciting or that you can’t find elsewhere.
Nice casting though. Awar’s walking was mesmerizing!

Boo, boring - moving on I guess.
I kept focusing on the audience, suppose that says a lot. What is Amelia Dimoldenberg seeing through those glasses? Was she there to do interviews also?

The runway looks are up, if you're brave enough to see them again Gucci Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection

 

[Grets]

I'm so bored of this. The influencers spamming my feed don't help.

It feels like he's trying to tap into what Nicolas Di Felice is doing at Courreges, but Di Felice has more conviction.

He’s probably a decent or good assistant.
But he has no personal vision, creativity or talent of his own. And nobody in his team acting as crutches.

The vogue pics def took forever because they chose pics going down the runway. The color scheme actually looks quite nice on vogue imo

 

[plentyofhorns]

The calf-high horse bit loafers are hideous and I can’t believe he made Mona and the other girls in those beautiful dresses wear them instead of heels 😭

Funny enough, Di Felice did a sunset inspired collection for Courreges:

The difference is that Di Felice inherited Ghesquiere's inventive approach when it comes on designing and constructing clothing, while Sabato, like PPP, create based on vibes. Sabato doesn't have the skills or the balls to design dresses based of geometry, jackets with secondary armholes or pants with p*ssy-pockets. Funny enough, the p*ssy-pocket would have been an nice call-back of "p*rno-chic".

 

[Alquimista]

Guys, Sabato won me over. I'll make a longer post but for now I can say it's his best show.

 

[Phuel]

Thank you @vogue28 for posting the stills as always.

Solid offering of brand outlet or department store staples: Nondescript, personality-free and absolutely sexless essentials. It’s not a bad thing— MaxMara copies 1990s diffusion lines DKNY/CK/Farhi wholesale and succeeds, why not Gucci copying 1998 highend department-store inhouse brand — just with the signature horsebit thrown in?

What I’m only ever looking forward to from Sabato, is his voluntary posting of his backstage swaying and twirling...

More clothes that will be sold for one euro per kilo in third world countries

It's decent verging on good but I still prefer the Fall Winter show.
Finally a good presentation that is required for such a big brand.
I wish he developed more the idea of the gold bamboo buckles on dresses and jackets, those details reminded me of Gucci by Frida.
Also, if you look closely, you can see he's still pushing ideas from previous shows, probably cause he already burnt out:
- Embellished fringes: fringed skirts, coats and kitten heels for first show, fringes with large sequins attached on coats for second show, now have yet more fringes on coats
- Sheer midi dresses: lots of sheer midi dresses for second show, still a lot of similar dresses for this show too (probably rejected from the previous one)
- A line dress with squared sharp neckline: that neon green dress looks again a recycled look from his first show

In the past few months we heard many rumors about a former bag designer from Saint Laurent called by Bellettini in aid for creating some covetable bags for Gucci, well I didn't see any of them. The jackies are nothing new, the bamboo east west are good but nothing original, the bucket bags with the oversized horsebit detail were nice but it's impossible to make a bucket bag become IT, the last 4 bags were literally horsebit with a GG buckle, hence kinda tacky. The bag department is a huge disaster (ironic for a brand whose profits mostly come from the Marmont line) and keep on releasing seasonal bags hoping some of them will have some kind of success:
- First show: released that super tacky Gucci Luce, looked like a bag from Guess, no one even dared to buy it
- Second show: huge improvement with the half moon shaped and the Gucci Milano, the latter has a huge potential to become an IT bag, yet they did not show it in the Cruise and this show
- Cruise: oversized hobo Jackie, too big to become an IT bag, glad they did not show it
