Mod Meets Modern For Gucci FW25

Under the spotlight, with cameras rolling, Gucci experienced a sense of excitement akin to “lights, cameras, action.” As the Fall/Winter 2025 collection unfolded, it was orchestrated by a live band. The setting, an expansive space, reflected a high-tech reinterpretation of a vintage perfume bottle, with gleaming interlocking Gs mirrored on both the floor and ceiling. The attire showcased a fusion of retro-modern styles, encompassing everything from the past to the present and all that lies in between.

This season, much like other designers, fur and lace dominated the trends. Some outfits showcased mini A-line dresses reminiscent of Twiggy, accessorized with silk scarves draped over baseball caps. The horse-bit motif was innovatively transformed into a drop-chain necktie. Pastel leather skirt suits were given a modern twist with boxier silhouettes, and 1980s logo catsuits were teamed with updated shaggy jackets.

The recent assortment, following Sabato De Sarno’s departure a short while ago, was created by the brand’s in-house designers. De Sarno’s designs frequently explored coordinating outfits for both men and women, where a female outfit often had a matching male counterpart displayed at a womenswear show.

This season, I was thrilled to see our team pushing boundaries by unveiling a completely mixed gender collection. The men’s side showcased some stunning outerwear and striped duffle coats, which truly stole the spotlight. These eye-catching pieces were often paired with well-fitted monochrome suits that served as a solid foundation.

Gucci isn’t the pioneer in blending men’s and women’s collections on the runway; Acne Studios notably held dual shows divided by a mirror for their FW20 presentation. However, it showcases the growing trend of fashion disregarding traditional schedules, with more emphasis on menswear styles being adopted by women as a current trend.

As a devoted fan, I’m not surprised to see Gucci relying on their design team once more. After Alessandro Michele’s unexpected departure in November of 2022, they leaned on the collective for four seasons before Marco De Sarno made his entrance and debut.

Some may notice repeating design elements and shapes in the FW23 runway and the current collection from the design team. In both instances, the designers employed a striking contrast by incorporating bold splashes of oranges, greens, and blues against subdued formalwear and suits. Moreover, low-rise midi skirts adorned with sheer, sequined, or lace details, paired with more neutral long-sleeve sweaters, continue to be a striking design choice. De Sarno’s runways, which have been criticized for their overtly commercial vibe, serve as a unique and distinct break between the designs created by the team collectively.

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but keep my eyes peeled on the latest developments with Gucci. They haven’t officially announced their new creative director yet, but with their recent slump in sales and the upcoming launch of their newest collection, it’s an exciting time to see how they’ll bounce back. Everyone’s holding their breath, eagerly waiting for what’s next.
