Designer house Roberto Cavalli SpA has parted ways with its creative director Peter Dundas, a little over a year and a half since his appointment at the Florence-based company. Dundas, who had previously worked with designer brands such as Emanuel Ungaro, Emilo Pucci and Dolce & Gabbana, was appointed to the creative helm of Cavalli in March 2015. Commenting on Dundas's departure, Roberto Cavalli CEO Gian Giacomo Ferraris confirmed the exit and thanked Dundas for “his contribution to the brand,” WWD reported.

Gucci to unify men’s and women’s collections from 2017

April 5, 2016 By admin

Italian luxury brand Gucci announced on Tuesday it will unify its women's and men's collections starting from next year in an effort to simplify the designer's business. The first show combining womenswear and menswear will be at Gucci's new Milan headquarters, President and Chief Executive Marco Bizzarri said in a company statement. It did not specify when the show will be scheduled, but a source close to Gucci told Reuters it was likely to be during the women's Fashion Week, the one receiving most attention from both media and buyers.  The decision comes amid a growing debate in the fashion industry over the need to combine collections, condense dates for shows as well as putting items on sale immediately after the catwalk presentations.. The Florence-based brand, part of the Kering group, is following in the steps of Britain's Burberry group, which said last November that it would bring its collections under a single brand.
