Dario Vitale helped make Miu Miu a top fashion brand. Now he's set to be Versace's chief creative officer, a role Donatella Versace held for 28 years.

Crediting Donatella with her first big runway appearance, Gigi Hadid took the opportunity to highlight her 10-year career with Versace through campaigns, fashion shows and red carpet appearances. As well as thanking the designer, Gigi signed off her post, “4ever your girl.” We're not crying, you are!

Donatella Versace has spent decades turning fabric into fantasy and the red carpet into her personal runway. She’s the woman who made Jennifer Lopez’s jungle dress at the 2000 Grammys so iconic that Google Images had to be invented to keep up with the demand for it.

Dario Vitale, the former design and image director of Miu Miu, has been appointed to replace Donatella Versace as the brand’s new chief creative officer.

Donatella Versace is giving up the creative reins of luxury fashion label Versace after nearly three decades, it was announced Thursday, effectively ending the family's hold over the brand founded by her murdered brother.

Donatella Versace will leave her post at the Milanese fashion house after nearly three decade. Meet the new creative director Dario Vitale, formerly of Miu Miu.

Donatella Versace is stepping down as the chief creative officer of Versace. The Italian fashion designer was the head of her late brother Gianni Versace’s luxury fashion empire for nearly 30 years. She took over the fashion house after his tragic murder in 1997.

She was seen dancing to Lady Gaga’s “Donatella” with her staff hours after news broke that she was stepping back from her family’s company.

Movements in the luxury market continue. The new chapter, in Milan, led by Donatella Versace, who hands over the creative direction to Dario Vitale, previously responsible for the success at Miu Miu until last January.
