We are now four days into Milan Fashion Week, and the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana’s schedule granted us the Gucci Spring 2025 showcase this afternoon. The collection marked the third mainline womenswear outing from Sabato De Sarno, having signed on the dotted line as Gucci creative director in 2023 (replacing Alessandro Michele). The guiding principle of De Sarno’s latest was “casual grandeur” which took shape via the Italian designer’s obsession with all-things tailoring, lingerie, leather, and the silhouettes of the 1960s. Tone-on-tone looks in Rosso Ancora , khaki, tangerine, neon yellow and chocolate brown ran through the collection, with the iconic the Bamboo 1947 handbag heralded as a statement for another season.
Gucci Spring 2025 Collection Review
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“The set design is gorgeous and the cast is on point. The clothes not so much.” [LadyJunon]
“I kinda love it. Very few looks are misses, for me.” [KoV]
“Sabato haters are going to have a hard time criticizing this one. It’s an evolution and let’s be honest, it looks great.” [signifier]
“The show was a disaster. First look and I already knew it was a flop. The basicness of it. And those tracksuit-inspired pants oh dear. Seriously, Sabato De Sarno has zero vision for the brand. This collection was just a bunch of uninspired clothes put together with no emotion, no direction.” [Frederic01]
“So basic and generic! No POV at all. It’s many things mixed together to hide the lack of vision. Gucci needs somebody with a real vision. This could be a Zara fashion show.” [Creative]
“I can’t believe we have to call this ‘high’ fashion. Boring, unimaginative, and faceless.” [GoldenPetals]
“This was a trunk show. De Sarno showed everything under the sun so ultimately, everybody is going to find something they like. I find it decent verging on boring. A non-event.” [Lola701]
