Featuring Alex Consani, Gabbriette, and Elsa Hosk, Generation Gucci presents a wardrobe shaped by archival references and contemporary dressing.
Demna isn’t just a designer this time around. In his first campaign as the creative director of Gucci, he photographed Generation Gucci and presented it as a lookbook for a runway show that never happened. Across 84 portraits, Generation Gucci proposed that there is no singular Gucci wearer. Instead, it reflected a collective of personalities, identities, and styles and how the brand evolves with the people who wear it, featuring models Alex Consani, Gabbriette, and Elsa Hosk.
The campaign presents Gucci as a “cultural language shared across generations and personal styles.” For Demna, instead of defining a single Gucci wearer, Generation Gucci embraces a broad spectrum of archetypes, a conversation he began with La Famiglia, introduced ahead of the collection through a cast of fictional archetypes such as La Primadonna, La Bomba, L’Influencer, and Introverso.
Drawing from different chapters of Gucci’s history, the collection revisited the sensuality of the Tom Ford years alongside sourcing from the House’s 1970s wardrobe. These references emerged through lightweight silk-faille tailoring, pencil skirts, leather outerwear, and womenswear stripped of traditional buttons in favor of discreet clasps. Eveningwear or “party wardrobe” carried the same spirit, with underwear-inspired separates layered beneath silk blousons and fluid gowns, while footwear ranged from Valigeria-inspired ballerinas (now extended to men’s sizing) to streamlined loafers.
The House’s signature accessories also evolved alongside the ready-to-wear. The Jackie returns in updated proportions, while the Dionysus evolves with a softer gusset construction, two-tone hardware, and the signature tiger head closure. The Giglio reimagines the tote through a versatile silhouette crafted in floral-print net with leather trim. Completing the lineup, the Paparazzo pairs its relaxed shape with Gucci codes, combining the Web stripe and Horsebit hardware in a design that transitions from everyday wear to evening dressing.
