From Driving Gloves to Skirt Suits, The Gucci Show Cemented the '60s Style Revival


Over a year into his tenure as creative director, and Sabato de Sarno is officially hitting his stride at Gucci. For the past two seasons, the Italian house has been undergoing a complete makeover, making this season’s Gucci show one of the hottest tickets in town. In lieu of traditional paper invites, guests received a retro Nordic-style desk calendar indicating the date of the spring/summer 2025 collection which was presented at the Triennale Milano, an art and design museum. There, models descended from a spiral staircase onto a slick catwalk painted in the brand’s signature burgundy shade.

The designer used the term “casual grandeur” to describe how this collection took its shape, calling out tailoring, lingerie, leather, and ’60s silhouettes as his obsessions of the moment which all culminated in a collection that felt at once retro and modern. De Sarno explored the heritage of the brand through legacy motifs like bamboo and horsebit, which both took on fresh forms through a horsebit print and bamboo-inspired jewelry. From a ’60s style revival to new belts, bags, and shoes, here’s everything to know about the Gucci Spring 2025 show during Milan Fashion Week.

A-List Attendance

Nobody brings out an impressive A-list crowd like Gucci does, and its latest runway show hardly wavered from its reputation. Season after season, it’s reliably been the backdrop to viral celebrity moments and this season delivered all the same. Dakota Johnson arrived wearing a sheer white dress topped off with a leather jacket and large Gucci shades. Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan leaned into fall’s suede trend and opted for a brown suede cape for the occasion. Meanwhile Kirsten Dunst and Jessica Chastain kept things pretty in dainty floral dresses.
