Gucci celebrates the art of silk
An ode to motion and mystery, Gucci’s ‘The Art of Silk’ campaign sees Julia Garner glide through Steven Meisel’s photography and Fabien Baron’s cinematic lens, wrapped in the Maison’s storied silks.
Illuminated by the city’s nocturnal glow and scored to The Chromatics’ ‘Looking For Love’, each scarf, in all its iterations, echoes a legacy of refined opulence. From archival motifs to modern artistry, Gucci‘s silks unfurl as both heritage and reinvention—timeless, tactile, and utterly transformative.

Saint Laurent gets crafty
For Summer 2025, Saint Laurent invites artist Francesco Clemente to reimagine the season through a series of intimate portraits—Zoë Kravitz, Isabella Ferrari, Penelope Ternes, and Ajus Samuel rendered through his artistic lens.
With his signature brushstrokes and lyrical use of colour, Clemente captures the quiet, magnetic strength of femininity—mirroring the sensual restraint of Anthony Vaccarello’s vision for Saint Laurent. A dialogue between tenderness and form, the latest campaign serves as an expression of fashion as art and art as fashion.

Heroing the iconic Gommino show, which has become a symbol of Italian craftsmanship in all its artistic elegance, the book celebrates the brand’s dedication to its heritage and the enduring relevance of meaningful design.
