Sabato De Sarno Departs Gucci

Contrary to the status quo, it’s been a busy start to 2025, particularly in fashion. 

Musical chairs amongst Creative Directors continues to keep us on our toes—the most recent being the appointment of Glenn Martens for Maison Margiela and founders of Proenza Schouler, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernanez departing their namesake brand. 

Now, with the sudden exit of Sabato De Sarno from Gucci, the luxury landscape faces yet another upheaval. There’s certainly no slowing down as a changing of the fashion guard promises a transformative year.

With so much happening, this is the fashion news you need to keep across this February.

Sabato De Sarno Exits Gucci 

The news of Sabato De Sarno’s exit from Gucci came via a brief statement from the brand noting it was ending its collaboration with the Creative Director.

“I would like to express my deep gratitude to Sabato for his passion and dedication to Gucci. I sincerely appreciate how he honored Gucci’s craftsmanship and heritage with such commitment,” said Stefano Cantino, Gucci’s chief executive officer.

The Italian fashion house’s Fall upcoming Fashion Week show in Milan will be presented by the Gucci design office. 

Bottega Veneta’s Le City Paparazzi Campaign 

Paparazzi walks are having a moment in fashion. Bottega Veneta’s recent campaigns with A$AP Rocky and Kendall Jenner as well as Gucci’s also with Jenner and Bad Bunny, leaned into the unfiltered aesthetic favoured by social media users. Now, Balenciaga takes the style a step further with its Le City Paparazzi campaign featuring digitally altered pap images of 2000s supermodels—Paris Hilton, Wek, Alessandra Ambrosio, Amber Valletta, Claudia Schiffer, Malgosia Bela, Natasha Poly and Tyra Banks—carrying the iconic and timeless bag.

Dua Lipa New Face Of Chanel 25 HandBag Campaign 

Icon and it-girl Dua Lipa for Chanel’s latest campaign is a match made in fashion heaven. In a role tailor-made for the singer-songwriter, the campaign launches with a film by Gordon von Steiner that’s pure joy, showing Dua singing to the cult track “She Drives Me Crazy” by the Fine Young Cannibals. Equal star of the show, the House’s emblematic bags, revisit the brand’s codes—quilting, interlaced chain, multiple pockets—with a new, bold, functional approach.

Diors’ Kim Jones Honored

Following his fall 2025 Dior Menswear show, fashion insiders and admirers of Creative Director Kim Jones gathered to celebrate and watch as the designer was knighted a Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur. France’s highest civilian honor, Jones was presented the honor by Anna Wintour.
