Fashion shouldn’t be difficult to understand or wear. That’s the view of Gucci designer Sabato de Sarno, who presented his third womenswear collection at the Triennale di Milano on Friday across red lacquered floors — the identifiable colour of Gucci under his tenure.

Creative director Sabato De Sarno stayed the course, showing more Ancora red leather, sporty tailoring, lingerie looks, horsebit accessories and nods to famous Gucci customer of yore Jacqueline Kennedy.

Sabato De Sarno presents a carpe diem-inspired collection that drew on "casual grandeur" and brought out Nara and Lucky Blue Smith and Gabbriette.
