Gucci Ancora : Sabato De Sarno's debut

Sabato De Sarno's Gucci debut is grounded in heritage, celebrating the small joys of life.

The Italian designer took over Gucci’s Hub to mark his grand entrance, going back to the House’s century-old roots while keeping things fun and ready to party.

The show will mark the debut of Sabato De Sarno, Gucci’s new creative director and Alessandro Michele’s successor.

Sabato De Sarno, the designer who was essentially unknown outside the industry until he was handed the keys to the $10 billion Gucci kingdom earlier this year and tasked with reinventing a brand that had already been reinvented twice before — once by Tom Ford, as a uniform for sultry power players and then again by Alessandro Michele as a big-tent haven for fashion freakazoids high and low — called his first collection “Ancora.”
