Sabato De Sarno - Designer, Creative Director of Gucci

[plentyofhorns]

The Gucci shop in Dubai airport was completely empty, the security guard was scrolling his phone.

I went to the soho NYC store to look at a pair of sunglasses (sue me) and while waiting took a picture of the most basic banana republic knitted cardigan. The SA was so excited to see someone looking at the clothes he sprinted to grab me one. I left before he could return and the sunglasses took so long to come out I didn’t even try them on🫣

These Miu Miu heels are better than everything he’s done with “ancora” red

Speakings of reds, the Bottega Veneta Barolo is far superior to the Ancora Red.
Also I am officially blocked on his instagram. How come ? I hardly know her ...

In Venice (Venezia) there are so many exotics bags, croc and lizard Jackies and several white Himalayan Dianas, which is believe is the rarest hide, just sitting there for months now. I'll snap a picture tomorrow.

I'm very sad that tomorrow we will probably have the last video of his iconic backstage dance ;(

Judging by the previews posted here, I am certain that fashion designers know nothing or very little about art and design after at least 1962. It is a imagery, a sensibility locked in some dusty modernist limbo. Idk idk

Louis Vuitton: We hired a renowned neo-couturier to turn our ready-to-wear collections into a actual business.
Gucci: We hired the second-in-command of the designer behind "Pink PP" to dye everything the shade of periond blood.

So tomorrow’s will be his last collection?

Let´s hope so!

More teasers for the shitshow:




Sabato's moodboard, featuring the set design draft and a look from the collection:

That amorphous pile of fabric over the model is a look???

The pressure is on for Sabato. Alessandro is showing next week in Paris and is sure to generate a lot of buzz and press. Mr. De Sarno better do something different this time and something to really make an impact, otherwise his Gucci is at risk of being overshadowed by its former creative director...

It is very unlikely he is going to outdo Michele's Gucci 2.0(supposing he is not going to change the formula at Valentino) since they are not even in the same league, but I am looking forward to all of your comments at the new Ancora thread!

Alessandro already sent his regards by releasing the Valentino pre-fall lookbook the morning of Gucci latest resort show (the one in May at Tate London). I do expect more shades though.

If he is so ✨STUBBORN✨ like he loves to say in his Instagram, I guess there won’t be anything new?

Apparently because valentino people that are close to ancora guy shared the lookbook with him and so they find out and he had to release asap ........strange because mens buying /lookbook was way before and buyers seen the vibe and lookbook mens already so i don't get the drama.

But yes its funny the shade :-) nonetheless the reasons or not

Interpret this however you want.

Translation:
A precise moment in time, an instant to seize and live intensely.
And the sun that dips into the sea at the end of an August day.
And the reconnaissance with oneself.
The collection is a tribute to those moments and an invitation to stop, in search of one's own.

The hands and feet graphics are very MGC Dior

“An invitation to stop”

 

[Olaffo]

It’s either saying goodbye or some pretentious bullsh*t about bidding farewell to the ephemeral moments which will never come back”. Betting on the latter one as life is not so sweet.

I fully expect enormous «MISS GUCCI » plastered on basic mall clothes at one point of his tenure.

they say he is making jokes he is getting fired so ....he is aware of the rumors or facts

It's astonishing to think that Alessandra Facchinetti was dumped only after 2 collections (which were actually good) that had a strong point of view and featured covetables pieces and accessories while this talentless guy is already at his THIRD show. It's been one year since his first show and he literally made no impact in the fashion environment, no IT bags, no vibes, no viral moment, no celebrities endorsements, nothing. Tragic.
