Gauthier Borsarello has announced his departure from Fursac. The Parisian men’s fashion label belongs to the French fashion group SMCP. Borsarello was at the creative helm of the company for five years. The designer announced his departure on Instagram, saying: “It was a significant chapter, both creatively and professionally.”
In his post, Borsarello added that his time at Fursac was significantly influenced by the launch of the Parisian brand on the official fashion week calendar. This move came just one season after he joined. Borsarello’s last show was the presentation of Fursac during Paris Men’s Fashion Week in January 2025.
The designer’s departure comes amid an ongoing sale process at the French group SMCP, which took over Fursac in 2019. The group of companies, which also includes the Sandro and Maje brands, announced that it would offer 51.2 percent of its capital for sale. The aim is to stabilize the shareholder structure.
The sale plan followed a dispute over shares once linked to former owner Shandong Ruyi and its subsidiary European TopSoho. In 2021, 15.5 percent of SMCP capital was illegally transferred to a trust in the British Virgin Islands. The Chinese shareholder was responsible for this. The capital was returned to SMCP’s Luxembourg-based holding company in August 2025.
