The collection paints a narrative of interaction between the urban and the seaside, alongside the dynamics among individuals passionate about life. Ultimately, it embodies the concept of freedom. “I feel free when there’s no gap between my words and thoughts, actions and heart. I want people to feel free and welcomed in my clothes,” Sabato expresses.
This range nods to the office workers who might have left their pants behind in a rush to work but are now ready for a seaside getaway. Long coats, crafted from wool or regenerated leather, feature tall vertical pockets and oversized rear openings. The formal attire comes in two styles: a tailored three-button single-breasted suit with high creases and neatly pressed sleeves for a sharp silhouette, and matching trousers equipped with buttoned straps to secure around the ankles. The other style showcases a relaxed, straight-cut double-breasted jacket made from lightweight silk. Zip-up jackets are shorter, and oversized leather jackets have contrasting collars reminiscent of corduroy but are made from embossed leather.
Diverging from the classic bowling shirt style, these shirts incorporate three pockets, a nod to utilitarian clothing. Some shirts are adorned with beaded tassels, while others feature appliqué embroidered flowers. All display endless prints, showcasing surfers, dolphins, hibiscus flowers, and banana leaves. Hand-knitted long-sleeve Polo shirts sparkle with sequined intarsia designs. The jackets, available in ice cream colors like green and yellow, are decorated with beaded tassels mimicking the motion of waves.
The finishing touches include sculptural pointed tips, continuing the evolution of the horsebit, available with boots or loafers. Bags inspired by Gucci’s archival trunks are made from brushed leather with the Gucci logo, featuring detachable parts, as well as super-soft padded leather pouches with magnetic clasps and practical bucket bags made from twill canvas dipped in dye for a modern appeal. Belts employ double-ended spring hooks, echoing the shape of the horsebit. Bracelets and necklaces are designed with segmented bamboo-style segments. Sunglasses, whether worn traditionally or upside down, feature thick frames secured by colorful Gucci straps.
This collection is a breath of fresh air, a hymn to the joy of leaving the city behind on hot days to head to the seaside.
