Two massive departures this week—
Raf Simons closes his eponymous label.
Alessandro Michele leaves Gucci.
I’m no longer deep enough into fashion gossip to speculate on what’s next for either of them, or who would replace Michele at Gucci, but these coming in the same week feels like the end of an era. Earlier this month I was talking with my partner about whose label would rise to the level of a continuing fashion house, like YSL or Dior, and we agreed Raf would probably end with him… we just didn’t expect it to be so soon.
