MOLTO MASCULINE

Building on the spirit and impact of his inaugural Gucci Ancora show in September, Sabato De Sarno unveils a fresh new perspective for Gucci. His latest fall-winter collection reinvents menswear fundamentals with sharp tailoring, distinctive shapes, and a carefully chosen color palette that’s at-once luxurious and glamorous, with Gucci Rosso, a smoldering deep red, making a fierce comeback. Inspired by the Italian word for “again,” Sabato’s debut menswear collection charts out a stylish journey through elegance and allure, showcasing timeless wardrobe pieces designed to captivate a discerning, cosmopolitan audience. The formal pieces trench coats, blazers, and trousers – present sharp tailoring and classic lines, while fresh denim options offer a nod to street style. Gucci loyalists will find delight in standout pieces like crystal-studded overcoats and glittering tanks with the masterful yet minimalist aesthetic that defines the time-honored brand. In the formal realm, a standout look includes a classic black-and-white tuxedo, reimagined with asymmetrical ties, double-breasted blazers, and a striking cape coat over a tank top. gucci.com
