Donatella served as creative director of the Italian luxury fashion house founded by her later brother Gianni Versace after his death in 1997. She’ll remain the brand’s chief brand ambassador from this point on, while Dario Vitale will take over as Versace’s creative director in April.

“Championing the next generation of designers has always been important to me. I am thrilled that Dario Vitale will be joining us, and excited to see Versace through new eyes. I want to thank my incredible design team and all the employees at Versace that I have had the privilege of working with for over three decades,” she said in a statement.

Vitale is best known for his work as a design director at Miu Miu. He’s been with this brand since 2010, after short stints with Dsquared2 and Bottega Veneta following his graduation from Istituto Marangoni in Milan. Versace said it’s a privilege to join the House of Versace and “contribute to the future growth of Versace and its global impact through [his] vision, expertise, and dedication.”
