Dario Vitale, former Miu Miu design director, has left Versace less than a year after being appointed chief creative officer. His September 2025 Milan Fashion Week debut was praised for a personal interpretation of Versace’s aesthetic but drew criticism for lacking the brand’s signature bold femininity.

His departure comes shortly after Prada’s €1.25 billion acquisition of the house, with Lorenzo Bertelli expected to take on the role of executive chairman.
