Gucci Confirms Alessandro Michele As New Creative Director
By SENATUS News | 22 January 2015

Alessandro Michele, previously Frida Giannini’s deputy and head accessories designer, oversaw the creation of an entirely new menswear collection for the Italian label's Fall/Winter 2015/2016 presentation in Milan, in less than a week.

It looks like pulling that feat off has impressed his ex-boss' bosses.

Gucci's parent company Kering has officially appointed Michele as Gucci's new Creative Director. Just as Giannini took over the reins of Tom Ford, Michele steps out into the limelight, having largely been unknown. His first collection in his new role will be the womenswear Fall/Winter 2015/2016 presentation in Milan.

Michele, 42, studied at Accademia di Costume e di Moda in Rome and joined Fendi as Senior Accessories Designer. He moved to Gucci’s Design Office in 2002, assuming growing responsibilities within the Creative Department until he was promoted to the role of Associate to the Creative Director Frida Giannini in May 2011.

In September 2014, he took on the additional responsibility as Creative Director of Richard Ginori, the renowned Italian fine porcelain brand that Gucci acquired in June 2013.
