Versace has been making headlines nonstop recently. Alongside the news of its acquisition by the Prada Group, the announcement that Dario Vitale would exit after just one season came as a major surprise. Now, everyone is talking about who will become Versace’s next creative director.
And who’s the candidate, you ask? Pieter Mulier, the current creative director of Alaïa. Known for his structured silhouettes and restrained yet sensual aesthetic at Alaïa, it would be fascinating to see him step into Versace — a house famous for its bold patterns and an entirely different kind of glamour.
While their aesthetics couldn’t be more different, that contrast could either be a major risk — or the very thing that pushes Versace forward. What do you think about this rumour? If it happens, it would definitely be a major move in the fashion industry.
