Gucci SS27 in Milan, The Store Show: Demna's letter claims it as the first collection carrying his complete vision

Gucci showed spring 2027 in Milan on 25 September, and Demna published a letter to go with it. This is not his first outing. His first Gucci collection, La Famiglia, arrived in September 2025, his first runway for the house was autumn winter 2026 in February at Palazzo delle Scintille, and he showed cruise in Times Square in May. What he claims for this one is different: the first collection carrying his complete personal vision, after a year spent working out what the house stands for. The Savoy line in his letter has a record behind it. Guccio Gucci portered there before the First World War, went home to Florence and opened a shop selling leather luggage in 1921. Gucci still sells a luggage line named after the hotel.
