Only eight months after Dario Vitale was appointed creative director of Italian fashion brand Versace, the company said he will quit on December 12 and his successor will be announced in due course.
The announcement comes two days after Prada Group finalised its $1.375 billion cash acquisition of Versace.
Meanwhile, chief executive officer Emmanuel Gintzburger will oversee the creative team, according to European media outlets.
Vitale was the third creative director after Gianni Versace, who was killed in 1997, and his sister Donatella Versace, who assumed the role after his death until Vitale took over.
His first collection for the house debuted in September.
