At Milan Fashion Week, Sabato de Sarno showed his sophomore collection, one steeped in 'casual grandeur.'
From his debut this time last year, Sabato de Sarno made it clear that his vision for Gucci lived in another world compared to that of his predecessor. The designer told The New York, “I’m more real,” emphasizing that rather than creating a universe, he was zeroing in on the one we have, aiming for wearable garments over any film or fantasy.
The show opened with a streamlined take on a gray flight suit in two pieces—loose, but tailored with mod inflections. He was driving home the point: the still-new Gucci is sleek, and for every day. The garments are elevated and elegant, but few adaptations will be necessary for these runway pieces to blend into existing wardrobes.Photo by Daniele Venturelli/Getty Images for GucciThe collection moved from grays to browns to deep reds and muted neon yellows.
The leather pieces were also gorgeous. Mini shorts were paired with tailored leather jackets. Evening coats with shimmering beaded detailing with a matching beaded bag made a statement. A series of retro hats added a sense of drama. De Sarno appears to be hitting his stride. And the industry seems ready to embrace his luxe, tailored vision.
