May 9, 2016 By creative

Italian designer Antonio Marras is joining fashion giant Gucci in combining its womenswear and menswear collections into unified catwalk shows from next year — in a second blow to Milan's Men's Fashion Week. The first unified show by the Sardinian will take place at Women's Fashion Week in the Italian industrial capital in September 2017. Gucci announced last month that it was taking its recent embrace of androgynous looks to its natural conclusion by combining shows.

The French brand, which belongs to luxury group Kering, announced last week that its creative director Hedi Slimane was leaving and a source told Reuters he would be replaced by Vaccarello.
