As rumor mongers and industry observers speculated Thursday about Sabato De Sarno’s potential successor at Gucci, is it Kim? Is it Hedi? Is it Maria Grazia?

Kering shares rose 5.1% to 251.90 euros as the stock market reacted to the news about the Prince of Venice. Some analysts were surprised, others less so, that Gucci decided to end its collaboration with its creative director less than three weeks before its fall 2025 show in Milan, specifying that the show would be presented by the brand’s design team.

The statement simply said that the new creative direction would be announced in due course. Sarno’s departure has fueled speculation that Hedi Slimane has reportedly bought an apartment in Milan since leaving Celine last year.

In addition to Dario Vitale, who left his position as Miu Miu’s ready-to-wear design director in late January, Versace is also said to be interested in him. Maria Grazia Chiuri is also reportedly a potential candidate to succeed De Sarno, who is returning to Giorgia Meloni’s homeland.

Serge Brunschwig has left LVMH, the intellectual and affable French executive. He made the announcement on his LinkedIn account, with a message beginning: ‘Au revoir hashtag#LVMH’.  Then #bonjour CEO of Jil Sander and OTB Group. Humour that will not have escaped the lord.

He would succeed Luca Lo Curzio, who left Jil Sander in November. Brunschwig is also expected to be appointed Chief Strategy Officer of OTB Group, parent company of Jil Sander, reporting to Ubaldo Minelli, CEO of the Italian fashion company.

The French-born Minelli spent three decades at LVMH as CEO of Fendi, where he was replaced by Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou in June 2024. At the time, LVMH spokespeople explained that he was ‘pursuing another mission within the group’. Promises are only binding on those who listen to them.

Kim Jones has decided to leave his position as artistic director of men’s collections after seven-year run. The development is sure to further fuel speculation that Loewe fashion star Jonathan Anderson may soon be installed at Dior. Dior needs newness to recapture clients attention.

The luxury industry is all about creativity, product appeal and desirability . “There is a reason why creative directors are paid what they are.”

The British designer‘s resignation came one week after he paraded Dior’s fall 2025 menswear on a minimalist set of grand, white staircases and was decorated as a Knight of the Legion of Honor, France’s highest civilian decoration by the Wintour ! don’t understand by Anna a american lady. Jones and the next goal Chanel why not…

Iroquois haircuts, also known as Mohawk, are a bold and distinctive hairstyle.  ‘Yes, it’s a cross between a punk and a monk disguised as a hedgehog, the Iroquois, this haircut could have been a symbol of war status, a message to the Lord of luxury the big Bernard, perhaps!

But these dresses are to be found in the collections of many museums around the world. They have a specific name, they were called court dresses, or corpse dresses, according to the ceremonial dress of the European courts of the 18th century, they symbolised social rank, wealth and power, and that hasn’t changed much.

It was Louis XIV, the Sun King, who contributed to its design around 1680. It consisted of a rigid whalebone bodice laced at the back, a crinoline skirt and separate sleeves. It also included a train worn either at the waist or falling from the shoulders, but the Maria prefers without a train to admire the world origin of ‘courbet’, a visit under the girls’ dresses, a must.

Kim Jones, under a black tent, like the sadness of the world, with a white staircase as a backdrop, Potemkin staircase style, a stripped-down décor to better highlight the fabrics and the construction of the fundamentals that distinguish the luxury of clothes as opposed to those of Zara. From a distance, looks are uncluttered, monochrome, sober at first glance, like this monastic black coat worn with a Yamamoto-style long skirt – the Catholicism is back. But if you zoomed in on the details, which even the front row had trouble seeing, you could spot details like these glass beads scattered like raindrops on the shoulders of a navy blue suit, the tears of luxury perhaps!

That’s probably why the more streamlined designs are given a touch of originality, often drawn from the women’s fashion lexicon of the old haute couture school.
