Sabato de Sarno just presented his first menswear collection for Gucci. Replacing Alessandro Michelle exactly a year ago, the designer is tasked with transforming the brand and tackling the ultra rich. From the get-go we can see a transformation from the flashy, over-the-top, maximalist approach of Michelle, to this more commercial and tailored look, which makes sense, since it will appeal to a wider audience.
The opening look features a stunning floor-length coat, with a plunging vest, and high-waisted, tapered trousers. It was accessorised with a red leather bag and red leather gloves. Usually a good indication of where a designer is going with a brand, especially in their first few seasons are the accessories. This look was finished off with a large chain necklace.
This was followed by a look in 3 colours, of a double-breasted blazer with a signature draping on the sleeves and the mid-blazer area, which creates an interesting silhouette.
The next two outfits comprised of floor length coats, one was normal, the other was sleeveless, long to the waist ties, and interesting take on the Gucci loafers, one of them was even studded.
