In keeping with the values of irreverent glamour, a proud Italian heritage, and provocation behind Gucci Ancora, Sabato de Sarno presents his debut menswear collection, a line rife with humanity, passion, and natural beauty for the Fall/Winter 2024 season.&nbsp;

In <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gucci-fall-winter-2023-mens-collection-runway-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Milan's</a> cavernous, minimalistic industrial Fonderia Carlo Macchi, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-ancora-campaign-sabato-de-sarno-spring-summer-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sabato de Sarno</a> presented his debut menswear collection for the brand for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/creative-directors-debuting-2024-fashion-designers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fall/Winter 2024</a>. The vast, open concrete-laden venue, fitted only with an illuminated runway path made De Sarno's vision for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-high-jewelry-moves-through-the-seasons" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a> clear&mdash;the emphasis was solely on the clothing and the path forward. Models walked the minimally-lit runway with quiet confidence and sultry attitude befitting De Sarno's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gucci-spring-summer-2024-milan-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ancora</a> collection.&nbsp;
Sharp <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/tailored-looks-youth-tarantini-fashion-trend-mens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tailoring</a>, clean-cut silhouettes, and pared-back shapes were in abundance, showing a continuation of De Sarno's tendency towards elegant <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/khaite-spring-summer-2024-nyfw-runway-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">minimalism</a>. Although simplicity was key in many of these looks, De Sarno toyed with eye-catching colors like vibrant <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/lime-green-outfits-fashion-style-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lime green</a>, the archival <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-100-collection-pop-culture-history-alessandro-michele" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci Rosso</a> hue&mdash;a deep, red oxblood color at the forefront of the Ancora collection, baby <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/barbiecore-pink-outfits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pink</a>, and a robust range of neutrals in the line, creating a new, eclectic color palette for Gucci. Models strode down the runway clutching&nbsp;the brand's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bags-named-after-celebrities-gucci-dior-princess-diana-jackie-kennedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">iconic Jackie handbag</a><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bags-named-after-celebrities-gucci-dior-princess-diana-jackie-kennedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">s</a> with leather gloves to match, all crafted in De Sarno's comprehensive new color palette.&nbsp;
De Sarno's vision for Gucci is one that is steeped in richness, passion, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/paco-rabanne-collection-fall-winter-2022-fashion-show-paris-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sensuality</a>, all whilst staying grounded in scaled-back <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/mens-glamour-fall-2023-fashion-trend-style-luxury" target="_blank" rel="noopener">glamour</a>, a clear-cut picture of elegance, and an abundance of artistic freedom&mdash;in short, a collection driven in a sense by opposites and contradictions, or as De Sarno puts it in his show notes, "It's a story of everything, again, but this time expressed through joy."&nbsp;
De Sarno's Fall/Winter 2024 menswear collection was created with the intention to echo the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gucci-spring-summer-2024-milan-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spring/Summer 2024 womenswear collection</a>, capturing the same intent and aesthetic with six looks that act as bridges between the two collections, creating a full, cohesive image of De Sarno's new vision for Gucci. In addition to the mirrored looks, the show's set design, casting, and soundtrack&mdash;executed by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/save-the-date/mark-ronson-event-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Ronson</a>&mdash;are also purposefully reminiscent of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/clare-waight-keller-uniqlo-c-capsule-collection-fashion-exclusive-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">womenswear</a> show, rounding out the conceptual links between the collections.
The continuity between collections was visible in the emphasis on the careful blend of extravagance, elegance, and desire, as presented through <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/history-behind-jackie-kennedy-pink-suit-chanel-jfk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suit</a> jackets with deep v-necks, chunky-soled <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/best-penny-loafers-mens-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">loafers</a>, long sweeping trench coats, and balanced harmony of sharply cut <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/red-leather-jackets-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leatherwear</a> and softly contoured wool coats, with the integral blend of sensuality and sophistication executed through the juxtaposition of tailored suiting on bare skin, crystal-embedded trousers, and loose-fitting, flowing <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fashion-trends-spring-summer-2023-haute-couture-runway">neckties</a>.&nbsp;
Above all, the spotlight fell on the smart, sophisticated, and poised aesthetic carefully crafted by De Sarno. From sharply cut pleated trousers to glitzy, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rhinestone-clothing-accessories-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rhinestone</a>-adorned sleeveless tops, the designer's vision of a simplistic, unabashed celebration of style, passionate <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/maude-apatow-style-fashion-instagram-euphoria" target="_blank" rel="noopener">euphoria</a>, and art was present from start to finish, emphasizing De Sarno's commitment to a refined, contemporary twist on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alessandro-michele-gucci-creative-director-harry-styles-jared-leto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House's</a> iconic designs.&nbsp;
