MILAN — After his exit from Gucci in November 2022 as creative director, Alessandro Michele’s potential future in fashion was the subject of endless speculation and rumors for basically all of last year.
The talk grew louder during the Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, when gossipmongers were positive Michele would land at Fendi, saying a release would be issued during the Gucci show last September (the same day as the debut of his successor, Sabato De Sarno), and then after the Fendi show that month — but a confirmation never materialized.

Another rampant rumor had Michele landing at Bulgari, perhaps fanned by the generally accepted assumption that he wishes to continue to live in Rome, home to both Fendi and Bulgari. But the latter deal has not come to fruition either.
