Gucci takes us back to where it all began in Florence, Italy. Founded in 1921, the iconic brand returns to its birthplace for the cruise 2026 collection, using the historic Palazzo Settimanni as the show’s stage. The runway show delivers a time machine.
The collection pulls from Gucci’s archives and Florence’s rich fashion legacy. Inspired by decades past, especially the ‘70s and ‘80s, the designs mix bold silhouettes with fine fabrics like brocade, silk, velvet, jacquard, and lace.
Color plays a major role. There are deep jewel tones, muted earth shades, bright crimson, and icy blue. Strong shoulders and sleek lines create a look that flows from day to night. Accessories shine too. The Gucci Giglio bag pays tribute to Florence’s lily emblem.
The Monili high jewelry collaboration with Pomellato, blending leather, gold, and pavé diamonds, adds even more sparkle. The show ended not with a traditional finale, but with models stepping into the piazza. It blurs the line between the runway and the real world.
