Kering appoints Stefano Cantino, Gucci's deputy CEO since May 2024, as the house's chief executive from 1 January 2025, succeeding Jean-François Palus, who had led Gucci on an interim basis since 2023.

Kering and Gucci announce that Demna, Balenciaga's artistic director since 2015, will become Gucci's new Artistic Director starting early July 2025, succeeding Sabato De Sarno, whose collaboration with the house ended in February.

Versace and Capri Holdings named Dario Vitale, previously design and image director at Miu Miu, as Chief Creative Officer, effective April 1, 2025, making him the first person outside the Versace family to lead the house; Donatella Versace moved into a new Chief Brand Ambassador role.

Lululemon's first Italian store opened in Milan's main shopping street: about 5,700 sq ft on two floors behind a 3-D printed facade modelled on its Define Jacket.

Dario Vitale unveiled his debut Versace collection in an intimate event at Milan's Pinacoteca Ambrosiana during Milan Fashion Week, a full-throttle return to the overtly sexualized Versace of the 1980s and 1990s staged inside a stylised, lived-in palazzo rather than a traditional runway.

Versace announced that Dario Vitale would leave his role as creative director by mutual agreement, only months after his acclaimed September debut collection and shortly after Prada Group completed its acquisition of the house from Capri Holdings.

Versace confirmed Pieter Mulier, who had just left Alaïa as its creative director, as Dario Vitale's successor, ending the vacancy left by Vitale's December 2025 dismissal; his debut is expected in Fall 2027, and Versace is absent from the Milan SS27 calendar.
