ALESSANDRO MICHELE STEPPING DOWN AS
GUCCI’S CREATIVE DIRECTOR
November 23rd, 2022 - Gucci today announces that
Alessandro Michele is stepping down as Creative Director of Gucci.
Alessandro Michele has been at the creative helm of the House
since January 21st, 2015, and has played a fundamental part in
making the brand what it is today through his groundbreaking
creativity, while staying true to the renowned codes of the
House.
Marco Bizzarri, President and CEO of Gucci said:
“I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet Alessandro at
the end of 2014, since then we have had the pleasure to work
closely together as Gucci has charted its successful path over
these last eight years. I would like to thank him for his 20
years of commitment to Gucci and for his
vision, devotion, and unconditional love for this unique
House during his tenure as Creative Director.”
François-Henri Pinault, Chairman & CEO
of Kering, said: “The road that Gucci and Alessandro walked
together over the past years is unique and will remain as an
outstanding moment in the history of the House. I am grateful to
Alessandro for bringing so much of himself in this adventure. His
passion, his imagination, his ingenuity and his culture put Gucci
center stage, where its place is. I wish him a great next chapter
in his creative journey.”
Alessandro Michele said: “There are times
when paths part ways because of the different perspectives each one
of us may have. Today an extraordinary journey ends for me, lasting
more than twenty years, within a company to which I have tirelessly
dedicated all my love and creative passion. During this long period
Gucci has been my home, my adopted family. To this extended family,
to all the individuals who have looked after and supported it, I
send my most sincere thanks, my biggest and most heartfelt embrace.
Together with them I have wished, dreamed, imagined. Without them,
none of what I have built would have been possible. To them goes my
most sincerest wish: may you continue to cultivate your dreams, the
subtle and intangible matter that makes life worth living. May you
continue to nourish yourselves with poetic and inclusive imagery,
remaining faithful to your values. May you always live by your
passions, propelled by the wind of freedom.”
Gucci’s design office will continue to carry the
direction of the House forward until a new creative organization
will be announced.
