Gucci sales in the first nine months of 2022 grew 8 per cent to €7.7 billion. Gucci sales reached €9.7 billion in 2021, generating about 55 per cent of Kering’s revenue, and 69 per cent of the group’s EBIT. This comes as Kering is to publish its 2022 annual earnings on 15 February. “With Sabato De Sarno at the creative helm, we are confident that the house will continue both to influence fashion and culture through highly desirable products and collections and to bring a singular and contemporary perspective to modern luxury.”ĭe Sarno said in a statement: “I am proud to join a house with such an extraordinary history and heritage that, over the years, has been able to welcome and cherish values I believe in.” Let’s not forget that not-so-little black dress at the tail end of the show which is part classic and part femme fatale.“One hundred and two years after Guccio Gucci opened his first store in Florence, Gucci remains one of the most iconic, prominent and influential luxury houses in the world,” said Kering chairman and CEO François-Henri Pinault. What to shop from the collection: Most definitely something chinoiserie from the collection, while the new crossbody bag and the studded strappy pumps has staying power. A simple black drape dress with a slit all the way up provided a nice pause for the senses (Look 67). Signature silhouettes: Whilst the overall vibe seemed to be a lot to take in, the show was brought back to ground zero upon closer inspection: there were sharply-cut pinstripe suits paving the way (Look 3), boxy disco jackets from the ’80s (Look 7) and chinoiserie motifs-a favourite of Michele-that came in the form of a lowly slung embroidered skirt (Look 23) or a cropped bib top (Look 49). Lights drifted in and out-as if we were in a dreamscape-whilst the audience basked in the ambient sounds of Ancient Future by The Colour of Time. The vibe: Monochromatic portraits of lookalikes or twins encapsulating the various emotions of a human posed as the backdrop to the show space built completely out of metal grills. In fact, I was told that Michele himself was tearing up throughout his entire post-show interview. Not only was it a fashion moment but more importantly, the idea of having 68 pairs of twins come together for it all, definitely stirred up the emotions of many. Given that these creatures multiply in hordes upon touching water, the idea of clones brought the show to a jaw-dropping climax when the wall separating the entire show space suddenly raised to reveal identical twins-wearing the exact same outfit-coming down the runway to hold hands upon meeting in the middle. The power of individuality is constantly challenged at every Gucci show and today, upon seeing Mogwai (better known as the Gremlin from the hit horror movie from the ’80s) worn as a bag charm, it was a hint of what was to come. Oriental inspiration came in the form of qipaos and dudous paired alongside multi-coloured beaded headgear and futuristic face chains. The vision: The show opens to a preppy suit with pants lobbed off at mid-thigh hanging off garters and in an instant, the procession transforms into a cultural exchange of myriad influences: from the dressing of ’80s disco and that of hippie bohemians to those of beatniks and preppy college students. 10-word show review: A sublime showcase of unifying individualism at its very best
