Releasing its pre-fall 2025 collection today, Gucci's historical commitment to pairing exquisite tailoring with designs that still feel relaxed and sexy sits front and centre. Drawing inspiration from the silhouettes that dominated the ‘70s, the offering separates its womenswear and menswear lines by focusing the former on sensuality, while the latter roots itself in an effortless sense of ease. Balancing a sharpness and fluidity, the women’s range includes loose-fitting shirts and slacks that sit under oversized faux-fur coats, cinched blazers and sheer dresses with the waist looped by barely-there belts. Trompe-l’œil knits, oversized buttons and discreet hardware finishings give the pieces a well-rounded depth. Flora and fauna detailing is subtly added for a hint of understated sweetness. Embracing themes of confident femininity, the pieces are perfectly primed for any boss lady that wants to dominate both the boardroom and the bar.

The menswear arm plays more generously with proportion. Maintaining the clean lines that give the overall offering that classic, sumptuous feel, oversized cardigans, monogrammed leather jackets and boxy shirts evoke a relaxed tone. Trousers are easy-fit and comfortable, whilst soft neck bows, fuzzy shearling and slinky neckerchiefs add a dash of playfulness. The attention to detail is clear and elevated, with geometric inlays and internal finishings embracing the artisanal excellence that’s synonymous with the Italian house.

Appearing across the board is the flora motif, a bandana-inspired re-imagination of painter Vittorio Accornero de Testa’s original work. Incorporating equestrian symbols like horse bits and straps, the print is used on headscarves throughout. Signature bags like the Jackie 1961, Blondie and Gucci Softbit pop up alongside each ensemble whilst footwear takes form as chunky loafers with studded embellishments.

A dynamic exploration of heritage with a casual yet luxurious style, the collection is a celebration of Gucci’s spirit the Sabato de Sarno way.
