Sabato De Sarno - Designer, Creative Director of Gucci

[LadyJunon]

The current state of Gucci under Sabato:

However, it’s the performance of Gucci, the group’s profit center, that determines how the entire thing runs. There is a hurry-up-and-wait feeling to the Gucci situation that will only be resolved by either a tremendous uptick in sales or a creative change, despite the green shoots as accessories ramp up and fresh ready-to-wear arrives in the stores. The business is significantly smaller than it was two years ago, and while everyone is sort of sick of talking about whether Sabato De Sarno will stay or go, they can’t stop talking about it, either. This is a case where money will fix everything.

So they say money will fix it. Does this mean that Kering could more than likely turn this around if they invested in a proper CD ?

lol sorry but what IS THIS? love it when a designer from a "luxury" house rocks up in his self-designed coat that not only does not fit him (again, HE designed it!) but also hast the worst should line ever? and a sleeve lining so cheap that it is see-through?? I get you Ancora, if my coat looked this bad, I also wouldn't bother to steam it...

 

[Salvatore]

There is something so disingenuous about him and I cannot put my finger on it.

Not that it really matters, but I don't think the crazy frozen botox forehead and the LA style veneers really help make him appear more genuine...

In that picture it looks like there is not a thought in the universe running through his head. I wonder what it's like to live life seemingly so oblivious to everything ?

He always looks not good on photos..... He has that rigid smile.... Not easy to tage a good foto of him......

I think he should not smile. Karl lagerfeld smiled seldom on photos....

He's like a cartoon character when someone thinks about what a fashion designer looks like and acts like and has no idea about the industry. The funniest thing is that he actually exists.

Not only he exits but as CD of Gucci....i hope they are just making time waiting for someone on their minds to be available...or until a contract is signed...

I think he should not be photographed...that would be better.

I wonder what KING KARL would have thought of Virginie's CHANEL tenure, Kim's Fendi and Sabato.
He would have probably roasted all of them and turn into a vampire to stop Virginie's approving branded CC logo basic stuff.
