Gucci’s Demna blends aristocracy and pop culture at Milan Fashion Week

  • On Friday, designer Demna, formerly of Balenciaga, unveiled his first complete personal vision for Gucci at Milan Fashion Week, presenting pagoda-shouldered tailoring and puff-shaped outerwear.
  • Gucci reported a 3% sales decline in the second quarter, prompting efforts to revive growth; Demna took the creative helm in July 2025 after former Creative Director Sabato De Sarno's departure.
  • Demna described his vision as balancing the 'bourgeois and the eccentrics,' bridging Florence and Hollywood, while the collection makes room for 'good taste and bad taste' in the 2027 season.
  • Models and public figures, including socialite Sabine Getty and stylist Tina Leung, navigated a purpose-built boutique that Gucci called 'The store show,' offering a glimpse of future retail locations.
  • Beyond the runway, the brand faces scrutiny over luxury sneaker models labeled 'Made in China,' marking a departure from Italian manufacturing traditions as Gucci races to win back middle-class shoppers.
