Gucci debuts first co-ed show without creative director at Milan Fashion Week

Gucci presented its autumn/winter 2025/26 co-ed collection at Milan Fashion Week, marking the first show since the abrupt departure of creative director Sabato De Sarno. The collection was developed by the in-house style office with support from stylist and image consultant Suzanne Koller. The brand has consolidated its seasonal presentations into a single co-ed fashion show, aiming for a cohesive brand image. The collection revisits Gucci's heritage, prominently featuring the Morsetto motif and the double-G logo, which also appeared on the runway floor and leather goods. Key decades referenced include the 1960s (when Gucci began ready-to-wear), the minimalist mid-1990s, and recent ultra-maximalism. The show emphasized a continuum of craftsmanship, style, and culture. Fabrics included combed mohair shirts, mother-of-pearl leathers, coated wool yarns, and bouclé, blending classic and subversive elements. Color harmonies spanned green, gray, violet, and brown across both menswear and womenswear. Flame tweed, a British tailoring classic, was echoed in sinuous crêpe shirts. The collection aimed to foster unity in a period of fragmentation for humanity and fashion.
