Subsequent to joining Gucci as creative director in early 2023, Sabato De Sarno has been unable to catch a break. Under the Italian designer’s direction (in addition to declining sales), the luxury Italian fashion house’s advertising campaign imagery has seen better days. Not even campaigns lensed by David Sims and Mario Sorrenti (often starring a bevy of fresh-faced talents) have sufficed. Umpteen campaigns later, there are zero signs of improvement with chapter one of the Gucci Gift 2024 campaign for the festive holiday season ahead. In an attempt to generate buzz, De Sarno brought back Kendall Jenner as the face of Gucci, who is joined by Jessica Chastain, Hiandra Martínez, Lineisy Montero, and Ni Ni. The cast poses for Anthony Seklaoui, with the campaign opening up in a tribute to The Savoy in London (a nod to the hotel where founder Guccio Gucci worked as a porter).

The 2024 Gucci Gift Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Tragic! Kendall Jenner for Gucci is so LAME. Don’t get me started on the artistic direction which is giving mid-range US department store. And Kering wonders why their brand keeps sinking,” Frederic01 voiced.

“Gucci believe they’re at a luxury level, but they’re so hungry for those seasonal profits, they’re willing to advertise on the level of Kate Spade or Michael Kors,” tigerrouge chimed in.

Yasouss stated: “I’ve seen better holiday ads from Tommy Hilfiger!”

“The setting looks really cheap,” noted forum member MDNA.

Hchloe wasn’t best impressed either. “God this is so depressing,” they shared.

“This is wrong. So, so wrong,” GivenchyHomme exclaimed.

“This campaign shows an astonishing lack of creativity. It feels so uninspired that even a department store would pass on it,” shrieked ah ah.

After Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert became Swarovski creative director in 2020, the brand’s advertising campaigns have garnered our attention here at theFashionSpot to no end. After all, Giovanna has made the brilliant decision to enlist the likes of photographic duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and the legendary lensman that is Steven Meisel as campaign photographers. In June it was reported Ariana Grande had been appointed as Swarovski global brand ambassador. The American singer-songwriter and actress’ first gig as ambassador arrives in the form of “The Party of Dreams” Swarovski Holiday 2024 campaign. Grande poses for Mert & Marcus throughout the glitzy campaign offering, dialing up the glamour tenfold for a festive and celebratory gathering like no other.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Why did they blow out the highlights with the flash? Makes her look like a pale ghost,” shrieked br3ncon1 the moment the campaign struck.

“The ghost of Christmas present,” tigerrouge voiced.

“Ariana Grande is one of those celebrities who always photographs in a horrible way,” DK92 chimed in.

KoV appreciated: “I’m just thrilled Ariana Grande is not in a Wicked costume or styled like the character!”

“Massively into how glitzy, festive, and glamorous this is,” shared vogue28. “I don’t mind the print campaign imagery whatsoever. Love that shade of pink, the overload of jewelry, and the styling on Ariana Grande here. She does seem a little… pale and washed out but I’m into how striking the result is!”

“I really like the video. The models are living!” enthused Ihhbl.
