After nearly 30 years at the helm of Versace, Donatella Versace has officially stepped down as the brand’s creative director, marking the end of one of fashion’s most defining eras

Donatella Versace has been replaced as creative director of the fashion house founded by her late brother Gianni Versace.

It’s the end of an era at the House of Medusa—and the start of a new one. On Thursday, Versace announced that Donatella Versace, the pure embodiment of the brand’s va-va-voom glamor, is stepping down as creative director after nearly three decades. Her successor is Dario Vitale, a rising star who was most recently the design director of Miu Miu.
