For Sabato De Sarno’s debut Cruise collection as Gucci’s creative director, the designer ventured to London – to the British capital’s Tate Modern to be exact. London, of course, has a special connection with the historic Italian fashion house founded in 1921. After all, it was the place Guccio Gucci was inspired to create his house when working as a luggage porter at The Savoy Hotel toward the end of the 1800s. Fast forward to 2024 and De Sarno showcased his Cruise 2025 offering inside the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern. Guests like Dua Lupa, Demi Moore, Alexa Chung and Kate Moss made a beeline for their front row seats, situated within the vast show space decorated with masses of foliage. Sabato kept his silhouette strict, attempting to fuse nostalgia and modernity – with a dash of romance. Maxi skirts, elongated bombers, and slouchy denim jeans reigned supreme and the Gucci Blondie bag from 1972 was one of the many leather goods pieces on show.
