Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2025 Collection: Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future
Gucci’s in-house team delivers a collection that updates classic symbols like the Interlocking G and Horsebit with modern tailoring and fabrics. Blending menswear and womenswear, the show keeps the brand’s heritage alive while pushing it forward.
Gucci’s latest collection is the first since Sabato De Sarno’s departure, and it proves that the brand is still evolving while staying true to its roots. Designed by the in-house creative team, the collection plays with contrasts — sharp tailoring meets soft draping, classic menswear fabrics are reimagined for womenswear, and iconic Gucci symbols are given a fresh twist.
Models walked along a runway featuring the dark green Interlocking G, a tribute to Gucci’s founder, Guccio Gucci, as the emblem celebrates its 50th anniversary. This set the tone for a show that blended menswear and womenswear into a single, unified vision. Skin-baring cuts and pops of color softened structured suits. Classic British tweeds appeared not just in jackets but in silky blouses, while materials like brushed mohair, mother-of-pearl leather, and textured wool added depth and contrast. A palette of greens, greys, mauves, and browns tied everything together.
One of Gucci’s most famous symbols, the Horsebit, also took center stage as it marked 70 years since the launch of the iconic Horsebit 1955 bag. The motif appeared everywhere — from statement jewelry like waist chains on open-back dresses to oversized handbag handles and ultra-luxurious leather goods like the new Gucci Siena bag. Even shoes paid homage, with the Horsebit featuring prominently on stylish slippers.
The collection drew inspiration from different eras, from Gucci’s first ready-to-wear pieces in the 1960s to the clean lines of 1990s minimalism and the bold maximalism of recent years. But instead of just looking back, the mix of influences created something entirely new.
To complete the experience, a live orchestra performed an original score by award-winning composer Justin Hurwitz, adding drama and emotion to the show’s cinematic feel.
As Gucci moves forward and searches for its next creative director, this collection proves that its legacy is alive and well — and the future is full of exciting possibilities.
