It’s official: David Sims is a firm fave of Sabato De Sarno. From the get-go, Gucci’s newly-instated creative director has insisted the brand’s studio-designed Fall 2023 collection be documented by Sims (showcased by model Vittoria Ceretti in the campaign) and called upon the celebrated British photographer for the Italian fashion house’s buzz-worthy jewelry campaign starring comeback queen Daria Werbowy.

De Sarno summons Sims once again with the unveiling of the Italian designer’s first official mainline advertising campaign for the Spring 2024 season, ushering in a whole new look for the brand first established in 1921. Wiping the slate clean for a new creative vision, a selection of models assemble within Sims’ photographic studio against a clean white backdrop. Complete with styling from Alastair McKimm, the fresh faces include Fadia Ghaab, Ana Rossolovich, Jiahui Zhang, Nyajuok Gatdet and Violet Hume.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s a lifeless campaign from the backdrop to the group chemistry of the models. Super disappointing after such a promising start with the Daria Werbowy campaign,” said GERGIN.

“It’s clearly an attempt to reference the Fall 2004 Gucci ad but fails miserably to deliver anything,” voiced an underwhelmed grimm.

Also unimpressed was forum member tatouejeremie, adding: “A logo hoodie in a campaign in 2024? Must be a dire situation at Gucci!”

“The models have no energy, the clothes are bland, the setting is non existent and the photography is lazy,” complained GivenchyAddict.

In complete agreement was Marc10: “This collection desperately needed a strong, dynamic campaign with a star model to help elevate the clothes and create some sort of fantasy and desire. A white backdrop with bland new faces was literally the worst way to go. Terrible.”

Lookatme described the outcome as “abysmal” but do you agree?

Themed issues aren’t exactly anything new, and this time last year, Vogue Greece gave us ‘The Resolutions Issue’ with Lily Collins as their cover star. Twelve months later for January 2024, the magazine is following in the footsteps of Vogue Italia (in 2021) and centering its latest around all-things animals. Via the lens of photographer Richard Phibbs across a duo of rather sweet and charming covers, Kris Grikaite becomes the title’s cover girl in the process. Kris poses with some obedient canine companions in cover one (below) wearing Gucci. For the second alternative cover (after the jump), the Russian model of Lithuanian descent who first made a splash within the world of modeling just aged 16 as a Prada exclusive, poses alongside a friendly donkey and showcases a Louis Vuitton creation.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The colors of the second cover are absolutely gorgeous, I just love those shades of green and how fresh and effortless the two covers are. A very nice start to 2024 for Vogue Greece!” approved vogue28.

“The second cover is beautiful,” DK92 agreed.

Also very much a fan was forum member mepps, commenting: “I’ve always loved this girls face. So preternatural and otherworldly. I think both covers are strong.”

Aracic said: “I also appreciate the soft colors and the beauty of that first cover, but there’s a disconnect between Kris and the animal that takes me out of the fantasy. She is drop dead gorgeous, tho!”

“That donkey is serving and taking all the attention away from Kris. The second cover looks like a backstage shot with some stray dogs which happened to be on set,” remarked avonlea002.

“I love Kris. Now she has her moment, the cover of Vogue Greece right after Vogue Turkey. I hope we get to see more of her,” shared fangora.

Welcome back to theFashionSpot’s sixth installment of Objects to Desire. Ahead of the festive holiday season, we are unwrapping the most fun and most fabulous gifts from the gift guides of just about every major high-fashion brand on the planet. Over recent weeks, we’ve uncovered the best of Christian Dior, Versace, Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Ralph Lauren. On the agenda on this occasion is… Gucci.

From dice sets to the storied Italian fashion house’s signature Jackie handbag, here’s theFashionSpot’s 10 objects to desire from Gucci’s 2023 holiday gift guide:

#1 Jackie 1961 Small Shoulder Handbag:

The reintroduction of the Jackie bag for Fall Winter 2020 presents a new take on a historical Gucci icon. Brought back to the forefront, the recognizable shape is presented in black leather and enhanced with an additional, detachable shoulder strap. Attached to the bag with a buckle closure, the second strap adds a contemporary feel to the archival style, providing new ways to wear—from top handle, shoulder to cross body. Pieces with versatile ways to wear and style embrace each person who is part of the House’s individual spirit. The Jackie 1961: available exclusively in Gucci stores and on Gucci.com ($2950.00).

#2 Rouge à Lèvres Mat Lipstick:

Rouge à Lèvres Mat presents a collection of intensely-hued lip colors with a long-lasting matte finish. Specially formulated with rich pigment and gelling waxes, the lipstick delivers vibrant color with a soft, velvety feel. A range of brilliantly colored shades are inspired by iconic Hollywood movies and characters from the gilded era. The bold color palette speaks to the eccentric and free-spirited mood of the House’s collections—an unconfined and unlimited form of self-expression—with each lipstick encased within precious gold-toned packaging etched with an engraved design ($47.00).

#3 Women’s GG Slingback Ballet Flat:

Taking reference from the archives of the 1990s and early ‘2000s, this pair of flat slingback shoes are presented in beige and ebony Original GG canvas for a strong logo feel. A brown leather trim defines the elegant silhouette of this evergreen design ($770.00).

#4 GG Marmont Reversible Belt:

Evolving season after season, the GG Marmont’s recognizable design blends the ‘70s GG hardware with contemporary styles. This GG Supreme canvas belt reverses to black leather offering an alternative look ($530.00).

#5 Rouge De Beauté Brillant Trio Gift Set:

A trio of lips beauty tools serving as an in-between for a sheer and satin lipstick, the hybrid long-lasting dual-action formula delivers 24 hours of moisture and a beautifully pigmented shine. Beautiful shine and glowing color combine in vibrant hues of reds, pinks, corals and nudes. Formulated with nourishing and antioxidant ingredients, the creamy texture highlights and preserves the natural beauty of the mouth, so lips look fuller and plumped to perfection ($141.00).

#6 Horsebit 1955 Mini Shoulder Bag:

As the historic Horsebit hardware celebrates its 70th anniversary, the House looks at new ways of combining archival features with contemporary silhouettes. Introduced as part of the latest Cruise 2024 collection, this Supreme canvas Gucci Horsebit 1955 handbag is defined by an asymmetrical shape that lends a modern feel to the renowned line ($2800.00).

#7 Interlocking G Earrings with Pearl:

Contrasted by a spiked stud, a glass pearl combines with the crystal Interlocking G detail, forming a sparkling pendant that completes these earrings in shiny gold-toned metal ($480.00).

#8 Square Sunglasses with Web:

Square-shaped frames are contrasted by the heritage Web in green and red along the temples. The Double G detail in a gold tone adds a subtle nod to the House’s logo ($435.00).

#9 Gucci Guilty Pour Femme EDP Gift Set:

The Gucci Guilty collection enters a new chapter, reintroducing the original Pour Femme scent as a rich eau de parfum, combining superior floral notes and enhanced natural fragrances. Individual, yet fusing together naturally, the men’s and women’s perfumes embody a declaration of self-expression and fearlessness, conjured up by the statement #ForeverGuilty ($181.00).

#10 Dice Set:

Recalling Gucci’s heritage in the world of sports and leisure, the Ouverture collection presents a selection of leisure pieces. Inspired by the vintage influences behind the sets, these five dice are presented in resin with a marble effect. The set is presented in the House’s monogram canvas, lending a strong logo feel ($410.00).

The unveiling of every new Gucci advertising campaign continues to demonstrate Sebato De Sarno’s vision for the storied Italian fashion house. First came Daria Werbowy (breaking the internet), Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny roamed the airport a little while later and more recently, Billie Eilish was selected by De Sarno to showcase Gucci’s first-ever vegan handbag. Now, in the run up to the joyous festive season, De Sarno’s first holiday campaign under his direction as creative director is here which celebrates the spirit of togetherness. For a gathering filled with joy and warmth (in addition to an array of covetable Gucci merch), friends and family assemble before the lens of photographer Anthony Seklaoui throughout the festive campaign.

Members of our forums, however, weren’t in the mood to celebrate upon checking out Gucci’s latest. “Not a random tattoo being the focal point instead of the bag . The dirty carpet and party theme doesn’t work that well. No new clothes! Those burgundy fishnets and that Gucci plaque belt have been out. What is being sold here?” asked Nimsay.

“The more and more I see of Sabato De Sarno’s Gucci, the more and more I am starting to intensely dislike this new partnership. Another horrid and total non-event of a campaign…” wrote vogue28.

“Looks like an amateur version of Tom Ford’s Gucci,” Urban Stylin pointed out.

Also majorly underwhelmed was tigerrouge: “This has the feel of a Christmas campaign by River Island, or any other store on the high street.”

“It’s not bad, it’s not that good or captivating either,” voiced Yassous. “It looks like something Ferragamo or any mid-level Italian brand would’ve done a few years ago. Some of that ‘sexiness’ they are chasing is reminiscent of 2010s Gucci campaigns.”

Anna Ewers is a firm industry fave, and ever since scoring her very first cover of Vogue almost a whole 10 years ago via the lens of Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia’s December 2013 issue – Anna makes a return to the Italian fashion glossy’s front cover for November 2023. Throughout her remarkable career as a high-fashion model, the German native has covered just about every edition of Vogue from British to French and German to Japanese. Anna’s 27th Vogue cover sees the current face of Chanel pose for photographer Bruno Staub, with Malina Joseph Gilchrist on styling duties. In the nonchalant and laidback cover image, Anna smiles down Staub’s lens rocking a mashup of Saint Laurent and Gucci, as she takes five outside with a beverage.

Members of theFashionSpot, however, believed Anna deserved FAR better. “You can literally come across that kind of photo on someone’s Instagram. What a waste of Anna,” cried out crmsn.

“I miss the days when a Vogue image showing the back end of a building or dirty alleyway would be a celebration of louche nightlife, not someone having a hot beverage while sitting beside a sewer manhole,” voiced tigerrouge.

“No thought went into this shot at all, and it’s certainly not inspiring,” noted a disapproving woemwoem.

Forum member Polynpon wasn’t feeling it either, commenting: “I miss the days of high-fashion and real glamour on the cover of Vogue!”

“A total waste of Anna Ewers, and after a very quick Google search, this is perhaps my least fave Vogue cover of hers. Far too raw, pedestrian, insipid, lackluster and uninspiring for my taste. How the magazine is expectant of potential new readership being engrossed by this cover is beyond me…” said vogue28.

Ihhbl described the cover as “embarrassing” but do you agree?

Sabato De Sarno continues to make his presence felt as Gucci’s creative director. First came the internet-breaking Daria Werbowy campaign, followed by the unveiling of the designer’s highly-anticipated debut collection during Milan Fashion Week (which was ultimately declared a flop by our forum members). Shortly after, an advertising campaign starring real-life couple Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny was thrown our way and now yet another campaign under De Sarno’s direction is revealed featuring house ambassador Billie Eilish (who needs no introduction). The campaign shot by Tyrell Hampton and styled by Alastair McKimm places a spotlight upon Gucci’s Horsebit 1955 asymmetrical handbag collection, crafted in Demetra – Gucci’s new and innovative animal-free material, resourced from 75% plant-derived raw materials.

Members of theFashionSpot forums, however, were far from impressed with the end result. “Sabato as usual keeps the bar so low,” exclaimed Polynpon the moment the campaign struck.
“Yikes,” shrieked HodanChloe.
“Yet another Gucci advertising campaign under Sabato de Sarno’s direction that I… loathe. I’m sat here beyond underwhelmed over De Sarno’s tenure,” an unforgiving vogue28 echoed.
“I’m sorry, but why? Sabato isn’t helping his notably directionless POV with yet another celebrity endorsement. I’m really confused by his propositions for Gucci,” voiced Cocteau Stone.
Sharing the same sentiments was thiago, adding: “I can barely see the bags… and that’s a terrible sign. Once again, all these stunts for nothing. Every now and then they release and ad with a star that doesn’t really bring anything to the table. Everything sounds/looks/feels so desperate!”

We don’t know where you’ve been if you weren’t aware that Harper’s Bazaar Italia relaunched (to great fanfare) back in 2022, with the magazine’s first reintroduction to print for December giving us a trifecta of terrific Alix Bouthers, Vittoria Ceretti and Assa Baradji covers. Now, six issues in and under the control of editor Daria Veledeeva, Craig McDean captures models Mila Van Eeten and Maty Fall for October 2023. The two models-of-the-moment take to two separate print covers for the occasion, both complete with styling from Katie Shillingford. In cover one (below), Mila who hails from the Netherlands poses on the studio floor wearing a sequined Gucci dress and red kitten heels from the Italian fashion house, while Senegalese-Italian beauty Maty (after the jump) is styled in head-to-toe Christian Dior.

Call the members of forums impressed. “I like it!” simply stated mikel upon checking out Mila’s cover.
“I like it too, replied DK92 in agreement. “Simple yet different!”
“Craig McDean still got it, I like this cover a lot,” approved fenty.
Forum member Ihhbl commented: “Maty looks lovely, as always! She’s such a beautiful girl. Mila’s cover is more captivating though. Good use of angles!”
“Both covers are charming. The first one makes Mila look like a fairy, so cute and innocent,” admired oaklee91.
“I really like the first one. It feels like a reference to Bazaar under Nancy White in the 1960s. A smart way to play with the layout,” commended blueorchid.
Vogue28 shared the same level of enthusiasm, adding: “Mila Van Eeten’s cover is fabulous. I usually loathe rotated cover imagery (i.e. the August cover of Vogue France) but this is a prime of example of how rotated imagery can work perfectly, with an artistic and stylized effect. The cover itself is so simple, yet so effective and the whole minimalism works wonders. A firm 10/10 from me!”
“This is, as the headline suggests, alluring!” voiced dmliev.

Sabato de Sarno will be on a mission for the foreseeable to wipe the slate clean at Gucci. The designer started on a high by giving us a sneak peek at his first advertising campaign as creative director of the storied Italian fashion house back in August, unveiling a high jewelry campaign starring model Daria Werbowy. Now, following his debut collection unveiled during Milan Fashion Week for Spring 2024, De Sarno’s first Gucci Valigeria advertising campaign is here, starring Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny. Throughout the series of campaign images, inspired by celebrity and paparazzi culture, the couple roam the airport toting luggage from Gucci’s signature Savoy collection while captured by photographer Anthony Seklaoui.

Ultimately, the end result left a lot to be desired according to our forums. “A whole new level of CRINGE! And after such a strong start from Sabato de Sarno with the Daria Werbowy campaign,” sighed vogue28.
“Words can not fathom how much I resent everything about this,” chimed in aracic.
“Gucci can’t be this desperate!” exclaimed VERNIQUE.
“I’m sorry but this is poorly executed. How desperate of them,” echoed TaylorBinque in agreement.
“They look like one of those annoying content creator couples at the airport,” laughed PierreGotha.
Forum member Ihhbl described the campaign as “CRINGE!” but do you agree?

Three fashion capitals down. One to go, as we’re only just catching our breath after what has perhaps been the most whirlwind Milan Fashion Week in decades.
Kicking off MFW was Kim Jones at Fendi, with guests ushered into a space filled with XL Fendi it-bags sculpted out of white plaster, before models sashayed their way around the space wearing a colour-block collection of sophisticated separates and sheaths cut close to the body. Alberta Ferretti, the grand dame of Milanese fashion, gave us a breezy collection of silk, flowing organza and satin. Glamour was high on the agenda at Roberto Cavalli, in stark contrast to the Diesel show which was held in the middle of a rave, complete with around 7,000 people in attendance. Max Mara’s delightfully wearable collection boasted a color palette of neutral khaki, pistachio green, faded blue, mustard yellow and subtle pinks. Workwear jackets were paid with ultra-feminine ensembles at Prada while at Moschino, four stylists paid homage to Franco Moschino’s iconic designs from 1983-1993. Moody stares from the models were changed to grins going from ear to ear at Emporio Armani. Peter Hawkings was soon making his debut as Tom Ford’s creative director, presenting an ultra-luxe collection for someone who has somewhere fabulous to go, which ultimately proved Hawkings to be perfect successor to the Tom Ford label. Rainfall forced Sabato de Sarno’s open-air Gucci debut to head indoors, where the designer wiped the slate clean and delivered a plethora of reinvented classics for the storied Italian fashion house. Donatella Versace transported us back to the 60s at Versace (complete with a show-stopping last look won by none other than Claudia Schiffer) and it was an album of greatest monochromatic hits at Dolce & Gabbana. Matthieu Blazy’s latest offering at Bottega Venta gave us unexpected yet refined silhouettes and Maximilian Davis served up a modern and contemporary spring wardrobe for the Ferragamo customer. Closing out the festivities, the maestro of Italian fashion that is Giorgio Armani gave us yet another absolute masterclass in sophistication.
Look no further for an unbiased take on what Milan Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 season delivered. Go ahead and scroll down for a completely unfiltered take on MFW, all through the eyes of our forum members.

HIT | Ferragamo

“A pleasure to watch as always. Maximilian Davis is really starting to hit his stride at the brand now.” [LadyJunon]
“His best collection yet for the house. It’s crisp.” [VERNIQUE]
“I felt that every idea and detail (the embroidered F lifted from Salvatore Ferragamo’s signature, the ankle strap on the sandals echoed in the leather collar detail of some of the looks, etc.) was well thought out and executed; the subtle bell-shaped sleeves on the tailoring looked very fresh; and the trail of very long fringe attached to the minimalist evening dresses was sexy and very chic at the same time.” [Kennnnn]
See all the looks from the Ferragamo Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Philipp Plein

“The circus is in town!” [Thefrenchy]
“Another season, another PP clown-show but always good for a chuckle!” [zoom]
“I don’t know who is buying this. I’ve literally never seen Plein IRL. The collection is atrocious with almost no respite.” [Nimsay]
See all the looks from the Philipp Plein Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Jil Sander

“A pity that the thieves who stole the new Balmain collection did not steal this as well…” [jeanclaude]
“Jil Sander was never this conceptual, and certainly never contrived. Lucie and Luke Meier either don’t know or don’t care about the spirit of the brand.” [Kennnnn]
“The bling just don’t go well with the clothes. It only cheapens the whole collection.” [Gazillion]
See all the looks from the Jil Sander Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Ferrari

“What a waste of money.” [VERNIQUE]
“Ferrari? Looks more like a Fiat 500 painted in red…” [jeanclaude]
“I really wonder what’s the purpose of the existence of this line. Was it ever explained? It’s very difficult for me to comment on this collection because it’s a whole lot of nothing and I don’t understand where it’s meant to live…” [Thefrenchy]
See all the looks from the Ferrari Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Bottega Veneta

“The moment Matthieu Blazy tries to be avant-garde he fails.” [jeanclaude]
“My problem is that Blazy over conceptualizes. He needs to be more instinctive, to know how to stop adding details over details over details. It could have been a really great collection if he hadn’t added a few extra coats, a few dresses and trousers with different lengths and so on.” [GivenchyAddict]
“Once again, too conceptual, too heavy-handed, and far too many competing ideas.” [Frederic01]
See all the looks from the Bottega Veneta Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Missoni

“Got a soft spot for Filippo Grazioli’s Missoni and he always delivers.” [tourbillions]
“The nipples, super-mini dresses and the orange is a bit tacky, but delightfully so. It’s fun and a bit stupid.” [LadyJunon]
“Lovely! It’s very easy to understand, but it’s such a strong offering that I don’t see it as a disadvantage. Everything here is wearable and stylish in the best way possible. I hope it sells because Filippo clearly deserves to be successful.” [perhydrol]
See all the looks from the Missoni Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Dolce & Gabbana

“Very sexy and effortless.” [tourbillions]
“May just be my most FAVORITE of collections during MFW, in all honesty! Absolutely love every last thing that I’m seeing – love the monochrome, the sheer fabrics mixed with the lingerie, the polka dots, the heels, the casting and the thought of this potentially photographed by Steven Meisel for the campaign.” [vogue28]
“I love the fact that it’s a streamlined collection. Looks fabulous. Who would have thought?” [Scotty]
See all the looks from the Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Tom Ford

“It’s a very good debut from Peter Hawkings. It’s more focused and builds on the TF lexicon, those velvet pants suits will sell very well and be copied a lot.” [disco54]
“LOVE IT! There’s everything we love about Tom Ford in this collection.” [DK92]
“Massively thrilled Peter Hawkings didn’t shy away from the quintessential Tom Ford aesthetic, and kept this whole collection on-brand, from first to last look. Tom Ford, will always and forever, be a brand that does not need a rebrand of ANY sort. Very much a fan, it’s just all so chic, sleek and sexy…” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Tom Ford Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Gucci

“So underwhelming and terribly boring. There’s no signature, no discerning elements that separate these clothes from everything else out there at the moment.” [Frederic01]
“I’m disappointed. These are just clothes and nothing more, there’s no identity. I never liked Alessandro Michele’s aesthetics but he at least had something new to propose for the brand.” [Danilo Braz dos Santos]
“Not that far from what I was expecting: very commercial. There was nothing really bad, but nothing to gush about. It’s clothes ready to hit the stores. I hope Sabato de Sarno can stretch himself more here as time goes by.” [Marc10]
See all the looks from the Gucci Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Versace

“Donatella knows how to make a woman look and feel good. Wow!” [prylvi]
“Literally the best fashion show since the whole fashion month started! The models, the clothes, the hair, the makeup and Claudia… OMG, what a GODDESS!” [Zorka]
“I am thoroughly able to appreciate how much of a departure this feels from recent Versace collections (even down to the beauty styling, which I thought was flawless). For me, Donatella going down the whole 1960s route feels fresh, loved all the mini-dresses, the checkerboard motifs and just about every single dress towards the end. Even the show space felt like a total breath of fresh air!” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Versace Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Max Mara

“Gorgeous. It’s very consistent with Max Mara’s simple and relaxed luxury. The color diversity and color blocking is stunning.” [GoldenPetals]
“Luxurious and timeless but updated with the current time. Ian Griffiths keeps delivering everything that I want from Max Mara. The color palette is delicious and choosing Tonne Goodman to style for the show is the best decision Ian has ever made. Another hit from Max Mara.” [THD96]
“It’s so slick and luxurious. I love the proportions and the color palette.” [GivenchyHomme]
See all the looks from the Max Mara Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | MM6 Maison Margiela

“It’s very chic and looks expensive for a diffusion line.” [FiLeReD]
“It’s very Margiela for Hermès in spirit, no? I like it very much. This is superior to 99.9% to what we saw in NYC and London while being in more of the same positioning.” [Lola701]
“So smart, so chic, so slick. It’s so good. This is what most of NYFW wanted to achieve but they have subpar hands to handle fine simplicity like this. I mean everything is so delicious here but I love that dress look 14. It’s simple yet so complex.” [TaylorBinque]
See all the looks from the MM6 Maison Margiela Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Moschino

“JESUS CHRIST. Katie Grand’s part is one of the most TRAGIC things I’ve ever seen in my life!” [DK92]
“Carlyne is the saving grace of this mess of a show. No one literally asked for this.” [TaylorBinque]
“If I were the owner of Moschino, I would be crying and begging on my knees for Jeremy Scott to come back…” [jeanclaude]
See all the looks from the Moschino Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Prada

“Absolutely in love with this collection! Very surprised! I need to see this in person, the details look exquisite. It feels more like one cohesive, solid collection than most of their recent ones.” [Joromana]
“Really tightly edited collection. A concise vision.” [Nimsay]
“It’s a great collection. This is the best collection that I’ve seen coming out of this Miuccia and Raf collaboration. My favorite looks are the pastel ones. They’re quite chic and reminded me of the former glorious Prada. And the sheer numbers are also great.” [THD96]
See all the looks from the Prada Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Alberta Ferretti

“Light, breezy, another great collection from Ms. Ferretti!” [Ruito]
“Italian Ralph Lauren. Love the timelessness of this and it feels perfect for a Roman Summer Holiday. So many easy no-brainer separates. Finely made sheer gowns – which is her signature. The waist coat with slacks is perfect. Lovely.” [Nimsay]
“Typical Alberta Ferretti in the best possible way. So romantic & dreamy! Her customers are going to eat this up.” [bluestar]
See all the looks from the Alberta Ferretti Spring 2024 collection.

HIT | Emporio Armani

“Gorgeous color palette.” [Nimsay]
“I absolutely adore him. Bravissimo, maestro! Bright, beautiful сlothes and fantastic sense of color! He absolutely knows for whom he makes clothes and always feels it.” [HelgaZ]
“Another season and another collection from Armani which just flows oh so beautifully, from start to finish. I love how we start with the muted colour palette, and then ease into the greens, purples and we then conclude with Armani’s signature pink. Flawless!” [vogue28]
See all the looks from the Emporio Armani Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Fendi

“I Fendied of boredom here…” [jeanclaude]
“Kim Jones really has no clue on how to do womenswear. Please, fire him and get someone else with skills.” [Creative]
“It’s getting tired and sad to witness every new season how constantly this guy is ruining Fendi. He has no clue how to dress a woman and make her shine. Hopeless. Please. please let him go and bring a skilled womenswear designer back.” [VERNIQUE]
See all the looks from the Fendi Spring 2024 collection.

MISS | Blumarine

“I feel like Nicola Brognano can do better than this…” [Lola701]
“Disappointing. Last season was so much better.” [RedSmokeRise]
“Did they get a budget cut or something? This feels worlds away from his other shows (which were great, absolutely loved last season especially). There’s some gorgeous stuff but the styling is really boring and set even drier.” [gossiping]

MISS | Diesel

“What a mess.” [matheus_s]
“It just doesn’t do anything anymore. Yeah there’s some great textile potential but this is just a mess of so many different ideas and yet it’s once again the same thing they’ve been doing since the start.” [Cocteau Stone]
“This collection is stressed, everything is on the verge of a burnout, overworked, picked and plucked.” [Norden]

HIT | Roberto Cavalli

“There’s no way I’m gonna hate on this. It’s true to the DNA of Cavalli, with plenty of desirable pieces.” [GoldenPetals]
“It’s a good collection from Fausto. He has found the perfect way to mix his tacky ways with a Cavalli sensibility. It’s sensual, well styled and quite efficient.” [Lola701]
“Glamorous, sexy, well made – his first powerful collection for the house.” [TianCouture]

MISS | Etro

“I really think Marco de Vincenzo is lost at Etro. I don’t know but there is something missing. The charm. The elegance. The bourgeois.” [TaylorBinque]
“It lacks focus and real direction. It really goes all over the place. The styling is terrible.” [Lola701]
“The styling is horrendous. He needs to go back to last season.” [LadyJunon]

HIT | Del Core

“I love how crisp and down-to-earth this collection is. Especially the closing look is wonderful, I want to touch it and investigate the simple cut and the fabric. The bags are also interesting, they feel like an organic part of the look and that’s a serious achievement for such a young brand.” [perhydrol]
“This was so good! I think Daniel Del Core is brilliant and I was so much looking forward for his collection. I love most of it. It all works well and it’s cohesive and seems to be perfectly executed.” [WAVES]
“This is so chic. Experimental without being overt. It’s the little touches. Like the front tucks of the tailoring jackets. Great color palette as well.” [youthinasia]

MISS | Bally

“This brand is doomed – and lost forever.” [FiLeReD]
“This is just atrocious. Basics can be good but the cut of those clothes is literally worse than Phillipp Plein.” [Lola701]
“This is just a new level of bad for this season. Literally looks like a supermarket’s in-house clothing line. I appreciate Simone Bellotti had limited time but taste is taste.” [HazJW]

HIT | Giorgio Armani

“The quality of those pieces is insane…” [Lola701]
“I like it, as usual. Slightly outside of his usual offer IMO but also very him.” [WAVES]
“It’s Giorgio Armani doing exactly what Giorgio Armani does best, and under no circumstances can I hate on him for producing such a collection. It’s flawless from start to finish, and despite my love for those Armani blues and soft pinks, it’s the combination of the gold and grey which cements my love for this collection!” [vogue28]
