The Gucci Together Valentine’s Day campaign invites us to enter a reality where love takes center stage—not in grand, sweeping gestures but in everyday life’s quiet, unfiltered beauty. Under the guidance of well-known Creative Director Sabato De Sarno, the campaign redefines how we see connection, elevating it to something intimate and unguarded. Married with the innate eye of photographer Tina Barney, known for capturing the drama of real life, this campaign’s fashion transforms the concept of love into a gallery of raw moments.

Captured against the warmth of lived-in homes, families, couples, and friends occupy the portraits. Diverse in identity and unified by affection, the stills capture profoundly personal and relatable moments. A stolen glance across a room, a moment shared at the dining table, or the simple comfort of standing in close proximity – these moments Gucci amplifies within the campaign to replicate the overlooked moments of what love can show up as. Barney’s artistry lies in her ability to find poetry embedded within these interactions, presenting the mundane as more layered than meets the eye while illuminating the garments.

“With this campaign, we wanted to tell and celebrate love in all its nuances. The cast includes families of all kinds, couples in love, and friends bound by deep affection. It was amazing to work with Tina Barney, an artist who has been documenting love and relationships for decades. Her gaze and lens are able to combine beauty and truth, giving us a fragment of life that speaks to us all,” shared De Sarno.

What makes this campaign especially compelling is the layered storytelling—it’s not solely about what we see; it’s also about what we hear. Voices of the cast weave through the video recordings of each shoot, sharing personal anecdotes and adding emotional depth. This blend of sight and sound transforms the campaign, which meditates on how love reveals itself in the smallest lived-in details.

The campaign wouldn’t be Gucci without a nod to its unparalleled craftsmanship. The campaign effortlessly curates Valentine’s Day gift selections from the House’s latest collection. Rich hues of Rosso Ancora and pastels bring a delicate sense of flirtation and romance to timeless pieces like the Horsebit 1955 handbag, the GG Emble collection in reimaged colorways, and the Gucci Savoy travel collection. You’ll also discover shoes with the Horsebit or Web stripes, silk Flora scares, Link to Love fine jewelry, Gucci Eyewear, and Gucci Flora fragrances.
