Pieter Mulier takes over creative leadership at Versace.
Mulier has been appointed by Prada Group as the new chief creative officer at Versace, the Italian fashion group announced on Thursday. He will take up the position from July 2026. At the end of January, the designer announced his departure from the Alaïa fashion house.
His entry marks the beginning of a new chapter for the brand, according to the Versace fashion house. In December, the brand said goodbye to Dario Vitale. Vitale was in charge of creative direction for only one season, leaving the company just two days after the Prada Group’s acquisition of Versace was completed.
Mulier reports to Lorenzo Bertelli, Executive Chairman of Versace
“When we considered the acquisition of Versace, we recognized Pieter Mulier as the right person for the role of the brand’s designer. We are confident that he will realize the full potential of Versace and establish a deep dialogue with the history and distinctive aesthetics of the brand. We are very pleased to take this journey together,” said Prada heir Lorenzo Bertelli, who is Executive Chairman at Versace.
Before his time at Alaïa, which began in early 2021, he worked closely with current Prada creative director Raf Simons since the early 2000s, including as a right-hand man at Jil Sander, Dior and Calvin Klein. Alaïa was then his first role in the spotlight. In his new role, he now reports to Bertelli.
