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?

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: M Le Magazine du Monde is the gift that keeps on giving. Over recent months, outshining its competition, the supplement to France’s Le Monde newspaper has served up a whole plethora of applause-enduing covers starring high-fashion beauties such as Rianne van Rompaey, Awar Odhiang and Selena Forrest. Fashion models always remain high on the agenda when it comes to the magazine’s front covers, with Marie-Pierre Lannelongue bestowing upon us 6 models-of-the-moment for the publication’s latest dated November 25, 2023.

Lannelongue commissions photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch for the occasion, as well as stylist Charlotte Collet who profile models Emily Ratajkowski, Angelina Kendall, Anja Rubik, Sora Choi, Saskia de Brauw and Nyajuok Gatdet. Across an array of celebratory covers, looks from fashion brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Alaïa, Hermès, Celine and Chanel make an appearance.

The moment the covers and accompanying fashion story dropped, members of our forums were left in complete and utter awe. “F*cking fabulous!” heralded helmutnotdead.

“The latest story is fabulous indeed!” echoed thiago, sharing the same enthusiasm.

“Looove this! Sora and Angelina look AMAZING,” forum members Ihhbl raved.

Vogue28 declared: “Angelina Kendall’s cover is EVERYTHING I’ve been missing with the December covers, thus far! An overload of red, glamour, drama and joy – it’s divine. Also here for Anja Rubik’s cover and I’m rather fond of Emily Ratajkowski’s second cover. 10/10 from me!”
