&nbsp;Sartorial elegance was redefined as a conversation between cultures.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/guccio-gucci-designer-biography" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a>&rsquo;s Cruise 2024 show took place in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/inside-max-mara-s-new-exhibition-in-seoul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seoul</a> within the ceremonial courtyard of the 14th-century Gyeongbokgung Palace. Inside the iconic Korean landmark with the city&rsquo;s futuristic skyline as its backdrop, the collection was as much a marriage between <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/juneteenth-flag-meaning-holiday-traditions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tradition</a> and modernity as it was between Gucci&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/italian-summer-style-movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Italian</a> roots and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/south-korean-photographer-cho-gi-seok-coexistence-exhibition-fotografiska-nyc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Korean</a> design. As is becoming characteristically <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/halle-bailey-hanni-julia-garner-gucci-horsebit-1955-bag-new-faces" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a>, cultures in conversation are the basis of cosmopolitan dress codes.&nbsp;
Referential to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/sarah-michelle-gellar-movies-tv-young" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&lsquo;90s</a> formality with definitive <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/why-are-tiktokers-hating-on-streetwear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">streetwear</a> and sportswear influences, looks were self-consciously bourgeois. Austere suiting was animated with neoprene &mdash; evocative of the scuba wetsuits worn by Han River windsurfers and jet-skiers &mdash; and through the abstraction of South Korean artist Ram Han. Meanwhile, holographic lilacs, crystal knits, and cyber-goth stomper boots evoked a sort of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/louis-vuitton-mens-spring-summer-2022-virgil-abloh-nike" target="_blank" rel="noopener">club kid</a> sophistication. 
Noting Seoul's bustling skate culture, streetwear sensibilities were evident in deconstruction. Trousers became increasingly voluminous with the pull of a zipper, sleeves were mostly detachable, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/bomber-jackets-shopping-fall-winter-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bomber jackets</a> transformed into evening <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/denim-maxi-skirts-runway-celebrities-street-style-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skirts</a>.&nbsp;
This is the last collection to be orchestrated by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-jackie-1961-bag-fashion-archival" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a>&rsquo;s design team before <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sabato-de-sarno-new-gucci-creative-director-fashion-designer-valentino" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sabato De Sarno</a>, the brand&rsquo;s new creative director, takes the helm. Eclectic rather than directionless, the collection&rsquo;s spirit of hybridization between leisure and decorum was a joyful nod to Seoul&rsquo;s historical vibrancy. Drawing inspiration from Seoul&rsquo;s distinctive legacy in tandem with its own, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/harry-styles-gucci-ha-ha-ha-alessandro-michele-collaboration-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a> reinterpreted <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/frama-interior-design-scandanavian-minimalism-sustainability" target="_blank" rel="noopener">minimalism</a> in pursuit of a global wardrobe.
