No grand gestures, but a more than honorable return to its roots<\/b>.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is essentially what characterized Gucci’s 2026 cruise show<\/b>, which highlighted the cultural and stylistic roots of the House<\/b>, and what’s more, at home, on the banks of the Arno<\/b>.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A veritable potpourri of Gucci’s heyday, the collection evoked both the Tom Ford years and those of Alessandro Michele, albeit expurgated by its outgoing artistic director.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In short, the show had something to delight fans of the film House of Gucci<\/i><\/b> (2021) with its unapologetic bling and the gold double-bridge sunglasses so reminiscent of the 1970s worn by Maurizio Gucci as he grappled with the poisonous Patrizzia Reggiani, played by Lady Gaga.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As if to remind us of its roots in Italian craftsmanship and pave the way for a new era<\/b> with the arrival of Demna this summer<\/b>, Gucci chose the city of Florence<\/b> to present its cruise show. A choice<\/b> that had been suggested by Sabato de Sarno, before he was dismissed<\/b> due to a lack of commercial success.<\/p>\n
