Revealed within the Gucci Archive in Florence, the new collection honored the House's heritage craftsmanship while embracing a contemporary vision, lighting the way forward.

Expertly treated brocades, jacquards, silks, and velvets are featured alongside embellished and embroidered lace, creating a stratification of techniques that echoes a stratification of histories. The linking motif of the GG Monogram moves through the collection, while the graphic single G is reinvented, stamping its mark on belt buckles, inlays, and the heels of shoes. A silhouette with a strongly structured shoulder, exaggerated and oversized, is also lean, long, and sinuous, slipping from day to night.

Leather goods, at the heart of Gucci and Florence, are presented with their iconicity intact in archive-inspired pieces, or are evolved into new, soft constructions with casual, graspable ease, like the half Horsebit design and vanity style bag. Debuting on the runway, the new Gucci Giglio bag is an ode to the emblem that has long symbolized the city.

Gucci’s leatherwork heritage is further explored in a new High Jewelry collection co-created with Pomellato named ‘Monili’ – Italian for ‘jewels’ – reflecting a shared philosophy of craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from archival Pomellato designs from 1984, leather, gold, and pavé diamonds come together in a necklace and minaudiere featured in the show, brought to life through meticulous artistry and considered detail.
