Miss Ohlala always has something interesting to fill you in on.
While some are taking new seats, others are walking away. Jonathan Anderson has bid farewell to Loewe. The designer, who reinvented the brand with his modern, artsy touch, is moving on, though where to go next remains a mystery. If rumours have it, it’s probably to Dior.
Filling in on the mystery from last month, Gucci has officially announced Demna as its new Creative Director. Known for his controversial, boundarypushing work at Balenciaga, his appointment signals a new chapter for the Italian luxury house. Will Gucci embrace Demna’s disruptive vision, or will he adapt to the house’s heritage? Only time will tell.
And just like that, the reign of Donatella Versace as creative director has come to an end. After nearly three decades of running the house, she’s passing the torch to Dario Vitale, who’s set to take over from April. But she’s not going anywhere! Donatella will now serve as the Chief Brand Ambassador, keeping Versace’s legacy alive. And if that wasn’t enough, there are reports surfacing that Capri Holdings may sell Versace to Prada; we wonder how that’s going to change the brand’s trajectory.
In beauty, an industry giant is making its grand entrance. Louis Vuitton is officially launching its own beauty line, La Beauté Louis Vuitton, tapping none other than the legendary Pat McGrath as Creative Director. Given Pat’s magic touch, this is most likely a beauty empire in the making. Stay tuned for more!
