Gucci has never been a minimal house. Not when the City bag abundantly monogrammed with the GG symbol and sports several gold hardware -became its first sellout item in the 1950s after Jackie Kennedy was seen carrying it. Not even when Tom Ford famously dressed Gwyneth Paltrow in a red velvet suit from his Fall/Winter '96 collection for the MTV Video Music Awards, which dove its name into complete pop culture frenzy. And especially not when Alessandro Michele had his models walk on the runway cradling replica heads of themselves within a set, resembling a hospital's operation theatre before attempting to recreate the same theatrical gestures until his last collection for the house.
The same can be said of Sabato De Sarno, Gucci's latest creative lead. While his debut for menswear seems to suggest a new Gucci trumped by approachable silhouettes and straightforward textile ideas, its effect is far from "minimalism". His proposals are, instead, radically maximalist. Perhaps just not in the way one has witnessed before. The obvious may dispel this, especially when one compares them to the most recent memory of the house - who could forget the parade on Hollywood Boulevard and its presentation of the wildest looks to exist in luxury fashion? By accessorising his looks with a scarf hanging suggestively on the male body and the choice of deep rouge on glossy bags at play, it feels wrong to call his work "minimal" for the sake of being comprehensive.

Home Time
As part of the August issue's celebration of all things home, Men's Folio shines a spotlight on six Singapore watch brands.
BOLDR SUPPLY CO
Among the local watch brands in Singapore, BOLDR Supply Co is well established as a specialist in rugged, performance-oriented tool watches. A quick look at their page reveals an extensive selection of field and dive watches, with a smattering of GMT watches.
FEYNMAN TIMEKEEPERS
The past informs the future, and in the case of Feynman Timekeepers, the independent Singapore brand had one eye on the 1970s for their latest release - the Feynman VI.
ARCTURUS WATCHES
A watchmaker that wears its Singaporean roots on its sleeve (or should we say wrist?), all of Arcturus' releases to date lean heavily on its island home for design inspiration.
AZIMUTH WATCH CO.
Azimuth is one of those trailblazing names that come to mind for those who have ventured knee-deep into Singapore's watchmaking scene.
HORIZON WATCHES
Having captured the imagination of millions, French novelist Jules Verne and his fictional protagonist Captain Nemo from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (1870) and The Mysterious Island (1875) are the inspiration and genesis for Horizon Watches.
