Sabato De Sarno - Designer, Creative Director of Gucci

[imjustken]

I almost forgot the Jackie was named after Jackie Kennedy. Really tells you something about their elevation strategy that they don't even harness their history.

I Wonder Who is in charge of celebs and VIP design under Sabato cause this look on Loli has TOM FORD x VALENTINO by Piccioli all over it:
- Tom Ford iconic velvet suit
- Valentino by Piccoli feather trims on sleeves

The only items that make it slightly remind of Gucci are the bamboo accessories and that hideous bottom leg slit on the pants that we already saw on the runway back in September.

most likely because the jackie kennedy family dont want her name to be used for commercial reasons.

also the first hobo she worn prior to some gucci version was Hermes Trim bag often misquoted/credited as a Gucci jackie

The Hermès Trim predates the Gucci G1233 ( Jackie ) bag

I like those pictures. They recreate them in a way with celebrities but when I look at what they're doing, I don't get a sense of history, heritage or legacy.

It’s Ludovico Milani, former dolce & gabbana altamoda designer, he’s at gucci since 2018 and now head designer for celebrities

fun fact : Jackie Kennedy's Summer Estate in the Hamptons was bought by Tom Ford for $52million

Thanks, just a question : then who designed that Notte collection? Milani or Ancora ?
Ancora designs the eveningwear for the models at the Lacma event and Milani adapts to the actors. Am I right ?
Anyway, it was pedestrian at best, I am sure there are better choices at Alberta Ferretti.

Please don’t let your dislike of Sabato cloud your judgement by attributing any sort of signature to PPP.

Anyways, I wish the pants on this were more streamlined, this would have been sexy and glam.

Thinking of Gucci FW2000.
That’s maybe the real direction they should follow if they are trying to tap into heritage with a fashion POV.

and FW1996 Gucci updated sleek sharp sexy glamour modern fashion heydays heritage with a dose of modern day effortless casual , real travel luggage offer lux materials and upgrade production of leather goods streamline designs make clear sharp sexy practical lux things.

be the sexy streamlined LV celebrate the italian flair like LV is to paris france, establish your house codes and be disciplined about them and not mixed up on everything web gg and logo all on one product like now...etc etc

establish house codes and creative directors are guests and don't let them destroy and rebuild the brand in there image it's the other way around the have to step into the house and provide a twist but never a mirror image of their own personality on store design etc be more institutional as a 100 plus year old company with a heritage with long term plans for next 100 year.

I would say that FW1996 is a good mood rather than a good base design-wise to take Gucci to.
I can get the FW1996 look by going to Max Mara and in a way, Gucci has lost that impact on fashion to have meaningful voice in that kind of minimalism.

Frida’s FW2014 was based on FW1995 for example. But the silhouettes were very FW2000.

However, FW2000 feels very Italian. The colors are very Gucci. The allure is sexy and comfortable and it can tie together the work of all the CD of Gucci.

The problem with the brand is that inevitably, they are going to experience another overhaul change

Everytime I see those Ancora shopping bags, I cannot help myself and think about how they don’t look timeless at all.
They should think about the brand beyond fashion. Nobody cares about Ancora Notte. It will be worn by Ambassadors anyway. They needs to check their priorities.

I honestly don't think Ancora designs anything in the conventional meaning of "designing", if he's working a la Raf Simons, Miuccia or even Frida, he then just provides the team inspiration and visions he would like to deliver and then validate the proposals from the design team based on his own personal taste to get the offerings aligned to his visions
