Dario Vitale exits after one season, having taken the helm from Donatella Versace
Versace has announced its creative director is leaving, less than nine months after taking on the role and two days after the deal to sell the brand to rival Italian fashion house Prada.
Dario Vitale exits after just one season, having taken the helm from Donatella Versace. Prada said it would announce a replacement “in due course”.
The company said it and Vitale “have mutually agreed to part ways effective from 12 December”, adding in a statement provided to Vogue Business: “We would like to sincerely thank Dario for his outstanding contribution to the development of the brand’s creative strategy during this transition period, and we wish him all the very best in his future endeavors.”
Vitale is yet to respond – his last Instagram post, from Wednesday, is a Versace ad campaign.
