This season, Sabato De Sarno presented a collection that took his vision for Gucci on a beach getaway. For Spring/Summer 2025, the designer celebrated his second menswear show with a proposition rich in floral and surfer prints.

Known for his love of bare legs, De Sarno has found the perfect excuse to revel in one of his signatures – a summer collection. The show opens on that exact note, with a lime-green leather coat and tiny shorts.

Throughout the offering, the designer walks the fine line he’s accustomed us to. The balancing act between sensuality and eccentricity is done beautifully. Green shirts, in both long and short-sleeved versions, are entirely covered with crystal fringe. A pair of shorter-than-short shorts in Ancora red is accessorised with a suggestive choker. Striped rugby shirts are magically made of square paillettes. Neutral sets hide shorts under long shirts.

The impressive luxurious escapades in between timeless looks are ever-present in De Sarno’s Gucci. But, this season, the designer begins swaying from his characteristic combination through the introduction of bold graphic prints. Exaggerated short-sleeved shirts present flowers and surfing men in lilac, green and orange. It's through these the inspiration for the collection is revealed. Surfing is explored not as a sport but as a means to achieve freedom. Sabato de Sarno keeps growing his reach – print by print, bead by bead, the designer is building his vision for Gucci.
