Bold Bohemian Elegance: Gucci Cruise 2026 Lensed by Dudi Hasson

AOC is delighted to see these Gucci Cruise 2026 images, lensed by Dudi Hasson [IG]. There’s so much that is right about the image above — when you put together the visual wow, graphic design factor styled by Suzanne Koller — with Hasson’s ‘eye’ for literal and unconscious storytelling.

Gucci Cruise 2026 models include Anasofia Negrutsa, Ine Michelmann, Pati Bogusz, and Yoni Tijn.

This single image is an invite to engage with new Gucci creative director Demna [Gvasalia] as his Gucci vision is unfurled like an expensive carpet.

To keep our timing straight, this mid-May 2025 trip into the Gucci archives for the 2026 Cruise Collection preceded the designer’s official take-charge moment. Gucci CEO Stefano Cantino, assured the press that Demna was on board with the presentation.

Cantino exited the brand in mid-September shortly after the arrival of new Kering man in charge of everything, CEO Luca de Meo. Francesca Bellettini is now Gucci’s CEO.

In his Pre-Fall 2026 collection, Demna drew significant inspiration from the sensual 90s Tom Ford era at Gucci, certainly AOC’s favorite expression of Gucci.

Speaking of an expensive carpet and returning to these images, Dudi Hasson takes my metaphor of an unfurled expensive carpet revealing the new Gucci to a literal execution on his IG, for Australian menswear brand ‘Commas’. / Hair by Guido Palau; makeup by Diane Kendal
