Dario Vitale helped make Miu Miu a top fashion brand. Now he's set to be Versace's chief creative officer, a role Donatella Versace held for 28 years.

Dario Vitale, the former design and image director of Miu Miu, has been appointed to replace Donatella Versace as the brand’s new chief creative officer.

Donatella Versace has spent decades turning fabric into fantasy and the red carpet into her personal runway. She’s the woman who made Jennifer Lopez’s jungle dress at the 2000 Grammys so iconic that Google Images had to be invented to keep up with the demand for it.

Donatella Versace has been replaced as creative director of the fashion house founded by her late brother Gianni Versace.

Following 27 years at the helm of the house her brothers Gianni and Santo founded in 1978, the iconic designer will now take on the new role of chief brand ambassador.

It’s the end of an era at the House of Medusa—and the start of a new one. On Thursday, Versace announced that Donatella Versace, the pure embodiment of the brand’s va-va-voom glamor, is stepping down as creative director after nearly three decades. Her successor is Dario Vitale, a rising star who was most recently the design director of Miu Miu.

Donatella Versace is stepping down as the chief creative officer of Versace. The Italian fashion designer was the head of her late brother Gianni Versace’s luxury fashion empire for nearly 30 years. She took over the fashion house after his tragic murder in 1997.

She was seen dancing to Lady Gaga’s “Donatella” with her staff hours after news broke that she was stepping back from her family’s company.

Movements in the luxury market continue. The new chapter, in Milan, led by Donatella Versace, who hands over the creative direction to Dario Vitale, previously responsible for the success at Miu Miu until last January.
