Gucci Prospettive 4: Ancora Londra Celebrates London’s Spirit of Contrasts and Creativity
- Nada Armanious
Gucci presents the fourth volume of Gucci Prospettive, Ancora Londra, celebrating London—the city of cosmopolitanism and contrasts. Initiated by Creative Director Sabato De Sarno, the series explores diverse narratives within fashion and Gucci collections. London, with its open spirit and profound influence on the House, was a natural choice for this edition.
From the early 20th century, when Guccio Gucci worked at The Savoy hotel, to the Tate Modern, the venue for the Cruise 2025 show, the city has maintained a longstanding relationship with Gucci, shaping the House’s inspiration and vision.

Published by Contrasto, Gucci Prospettive serves as a platform for new horizons and dialogues. Ancora Londra, curated by Charlene Prempeh and Lewis Dalton Gilbert, reflects on London’s enduring role as a haven for diversity and harmony amid contrasts. Through four chapters—Dream Buildings, People Watching, Watching People, and Building Dreams—the curators delve into the profound connection between space and individuality. London is reimagined as a mosaic of experiences, each brimming with unexpected inspiration.
This volume is not only a tribute to London but also a contemplation of the future. It invites readers to embrace a fresh perspective on contrasts, celebrating a city whose resilience and creativity continue to inspire.
