Sabato de Sarno Brings Back The Bamboo Bag For Gucci SS25

Sep 23, 2024 | 3 min read

The Gucci SS25 collection was heavily inspired by the 1960s and sees the return of archival silhouettes

Sabato de Sarno returned to Triennale di Milano, the city's museum of art and design and location of the SS25 menswear show, for the spring/summer 2025 womenswear presentation. The set was awash in yellow, orange and (of course) Ancora red, in homage to summer holidays and in-keeping with the sunset-hued teasers posted to the House's social media in the lead-up to the show.

Sabato de Sarno was inspired by the 1960s for the collection, which was evident through headscarves, shift dresses, nostalgic patterns and oversized sunglasses. Straying from the Jackie O-esque elegance of the '60s, streamlined coats with psychedelic fringing, acid colours and lashings of leather channeled the era's eccentric alter-ego.

In the interest of throwbacks, the horsebit loafer and GG Marmont belt returned (the former now available in boot form, the latter skinnier than ever), though the accessory that had the FROW buzzing most was the return of the bamboo bag - from neutral to art-splashed, prepare to see it everywhere come summer 2025.

While nostalgia was the name of the game, you can't have a Gucci collection without catering to Gen Z (even if it is ever-so-slight). Baggy, low-slung jeans and tank tops closed the show, worn under oversized outwear and with a hefty dose of It Girl attitude.
