Dario Vitale is out at Versace. After a one-season collection, the designer, who was hired to take Versace into a new era, has left the company. Versace has been acquired by Prada Group. It is widely believed that because Vitale was in talks to take over Versace before the merger, once the merger happened, he had to agree to contract terms he didn’t find favorable. Rather than deal with the fallout and drama, he has said sayonara to the luxury label.
After exiting Balmain as creative director, which was allegedly experiencing major challenges, Olivier Rousteing might now have a chance at a new job. Rumor has it he’s being eyed for the creative director position at Versace now that Vitale is out. Rousteing understands maximalism, and he already has a strong following from people who loved his Balmain designs. He could be a smart choice.

Riccardo Tisci, who has been in the middle of a sexual assault trial where he’s being accused of sexual assault, libel, and slander, has sought to seal key exhibits backing his motion to dismiss. Tisci filed a reply brief supporting it and also requested sealing. The judge in the trial has approved sealing these exhibits, helping shield sensitive information. This case is still ongoing, so Fashion Reverie will watch and see what happens next.
Dilara Findikoglu, long considered a fashion industry darling, has found herself in hot water. The designer is now being accused of toxic workplace conditions and allegations that she behaved in a racist manner toward employees. There have even been calls to revoke her British Fashion Council Vanguard Award. Former employees of her eponymous label detailed to fashionista.com about their horrible experiences working with Findikoglu. It looks like Findikoglu might be the next designer to get canceled.
