The musician shares the story behind the show’s carefully chosen songs—and his burgeoning friendship with De Sarno.
for the Italian house in the most hotly-anticipated debut of the season. Yet almost as striking as the sleek, minimal looks being paraded down the runway was the soundtrack that accompanied them: a cinematic string opening featuring the voice of Lykke Li gently fading into that of the XX’s Romy, before a grand finale that included a toe-tapping remix of the Italian pop classic Mina’s “Ancora ancora ancora.
It all began around a month ago, when Ronson—who has a long-standing relationship with Gucci that stretches back over a decade, having DJed a number of their events over the years—was connected with De Sarno to discuss his plans for the brand.
Naturally, one of the first songs that sprang to mind for De Sarno was Mina’s 1978 hit, which he then sent to Ronson—who quickly became obsessed. “It has tinges of things that I’ve done before, but it’s also a very epic, Italian sweeping ballad,” said Ronson. “So I preserved a lot of things that are really beautiful about the original, like the vocals and the strings, but then gave it a new beat and added my thing to it.
Given the decade-hopping spirit of De Sarno’s collection, however, Ronson also wanted to sprinkle in a few more contemporary touches.
Unsurprisingly, as Ronson’s parting shot before he leaves Milan, he’ll also be DJing the afterparty—meaning it might take a moment or two longer until he and De Sarno can toast to the show’s success. “Everyone can celebrate while I’m DJing though,” he said. “Plus, I’ve DJed many Gucci parties over the years, and it’s never me stuck in the corner not having fun.
