The Gucci Fall 2025 Runway Is A Vintage Delight

Sprezzatura is the Italian term for effortless grace—and it has informed the creative expression at Gucci since its inception. The fashion house’s autumn runway at Milan Fashion Week celebrates the distinct Gucci aesthetic through a parade of vintage-inspired colours and forms.

Drawing on its legacy, Gucci’s fall 2025 paid tribute to the house founder, Guccio Gucci, and key retro statements, from necklaces crafted from the iconic horsebit, to the interlocking G logo that formed the runway design. Following the recent departure of Gucci’s creative lead, Sabato de Sarno, the collection was created by the house studio, who leaned heavily on inspiration from the archives. From the 1960s—and the introduction of Gucci’s ready-to-wear offering—through to the minimal ’90s, Gucci’s team explored the brand’s foundations through a contemporary lens.

The 1970s were the clearest influence on the fall range, with plunging necklines beneath faux fur coats recalling the disco-friendly era. Bright pops of colour—vibrant purples, green and orange—amid complementary mauves and brows continued the retro theme, which was expanded through the use of textured fabrics like boucle and coated wool.

Accessories are Gucci’s foundational home, and the 2025 bags and jewellery spoke to the classics. The 1955 Horsebit bag returned with a statement horsebit, which was continued on chunky, chain necklaces throughout the show.

The runway was completed by its soundtrack, an orchestral performance composed by the Oscar-winning La La Land composer, Justin Hurwitz. Overall, the Gucci Fall 25 runway was a trip back in time to luxury of the recent past.
