Spirit of Rebirth: Demna’s Debut Gucci Collection Unveiled via Character Portraits and Short Film Starring Kate Moss
Marking one of the most anticipated creative resets in modern fashion, Gucci has launched its official editorial campaign showcasing Demna's inaugural collection. Framed around themes of rebirth, awakening, and unapologetic self-expression, the global campaign introduces the house’s new aesthetic identity through two distinct artistic mediums: a gallery of striking individual character portraits and a narrative short film starring supermodel icon Kate Moss.
The release captures the Italian fashion house at a pivotal turning point, combining Demna’s signature subversion of silhouette with Gucci’s rich archival codes.

The campaign abandons traditional studio lookbooks in favor of a personal, character-driven storytelling approach:
The New Gucci Portraits: A diverse ensemble of cultural figures and muse personalities represent the modern faces of the brand. Captured in framed, gallery-style portraits, each subject embodies a distinct archetype within the collection's new design language.
Short Film Starring Kate Moss: Serving as the visual centerpiece, the short film follows legendary supermodel Kate Moss moving through atmospheric backdrops. The film serves as a cinematic exploration of renewal, highlighting the fluid movement and tactile weight of the new garments.
Architectural & Subversive Design: The collection features sharp outerwear tailoring, oversized leather silhouettes, dramatic footwear, and reinterpreted GG hardware, striking a balance between raw street energy and high-couture luxury.
