There are some colours that sit comfortably in the neutrals section, while others can’t help but make a statement. Burgundy, however, smartly straddles the line between the two – easier to style than a glaring fire-engine red, but bolder than a simple brown .

Harking back to Sabato De Sarno’s “Rosso Ancora” – a rich maroon colour that was introduced as part of Gucci’s spring/summer 2024 collection and remained a mainstay while De Sarno was at the helm. Now with Demna taking the reigns, it’s clear from his debut collection that burgundy isn’t going anywhere just yet.
