Gucci has announced the departure of Creative Director Sabato De Sarno. His final contribution will be the Fall-Winter 2025 show in Milan on February 25, which will be presented by the Gucci design office. The luxury house will reveal its new Artistic Direction in due course.
Gucci CEO Stefano Cantino expressed gratitude for De Sarno’s dedication, highlighting his respect for the brand’s craftsmanship and heritage. Francesca Bellettini, Kering’s Deputy CEO for Brand Development, also thanked De Sarno for his professionalism, emphasizing the progress made in strengthening Gucci’s foundations. She affirmed that Cantino and the upcoming Artistic Direction will continue driving the brand’s fashion leadership and sustainable growth.
De Sarno joined Gucci in 2023, introducing a minimalist aesthetic after the departure of Alessandro Michele. His exit marks another leadership change at the iconic fashion house as it navigates evolving industry trends.
