Men and women wear together to challenge design skills
Gender-fluid clothing is GUCCI’s most recognizable design. Sabato De Sarno maintains this trend of diverse and open fashion. The 2024 autumn and winter men’s clothing is reminiscent of women’s show style. Some clothing items can be worn regardless of gender, and more importantly, “Quite practical.” However, it is not easy to show completely different styles of men’s and women’s clothing in the same elements, not to mention the limitations of different skeletons and proportions of men and women. However, when comparing the two seasons’ clothing side by side, you can find Sabato’s exquisite silhouettes and styling combinations. Changes, showing the restrained and sexy charm of GUCCI BOY under his leadership. In his designs, men can be seen as neat and successful men wearing thick-soled leather shoes and suit trousers. At the same time, they can also be elegant boys wearing elegant silk scarves and adorning themselves with jewelry. The exploration of masculinity can also be based on this LUCKY LOVE’s “Masculinity” can be seen in the music of the season show.

It is also the core of “quiet luxury” (Quiet Luxury). Just like the king of Mensao, it is not I will directly tell you the ingenuity of this look, and I only hope that someone with knowledge will dig into the details to find out what his intentions are. Take this season’s core item, the formal suit, as an example. The overall silhouette is simple and neat, and the details include antique button designs from the brand’s archives. The piping designs on the waist and arm joints of the suit jacket are Borrowing from the brand’s classic decorative elements.
Punk elements are also one of the hidden elements of this season, such as rhinestones on jackets and suit pants, rivet designs on shoes, necklaces made of Jackie buckles combined with silk scarves, super thick necklaces Marina Chain, etc., and The tassel elements embellished on the coat are all tributes to Tom Ford’s sexy and wild style. Sabato De Sarno revealed in an interview with foreign media, “Fashion is real, and so is life. This is day clothes, and clothes you can wear every day.” Therefore, at the end of the show, he also launched a variety of styles that combine romanticism and softness. Daily wear with punk aesthetics, such as wrinkled mustard green bomber jackets, knitted blouses and jackets inspired by British subculture, etc., and in addition to knitted fabrics, they are also presented in various fabrics.
In terms of footwear, the brand mixes classic horsebit chain loafers and British platform shoes into new styles. However, the most important item this season is the new enlarged version of the Jackie bag. In addition to the plain leather version, there are also items with unique leather textures. One of them echoes the rhinestones throughout the clothing. It is decorated with rhinestones. The style is outlined with a delicate rhombus pattern; in addition, the new Logo “GG TRASLATO” with 3D effect is also used in the new giant travel bag. The cylindrical bag with a retro feel is made of soft leather and has a large capacity. The big bag style is once again in line with the practicality that Sabato De Sarno wants to emphasize.
