Givenchy Designer Riccardo Tisci Is The Hot Candidate For Creative Director.

According to sources, Riccardo Tisci has been in touch with Gucci, but the possibility of this spanaction can not be immediately known.

However, according to previous reports, Riccardo Tisci has renewed Givenchy in February 2013 for three years, that is, the agreement will not expire until October 2015, and Gucci may not be able to wait without a leader. Moreover, LVMH group's enforcement of labor contracts and non competition provisions is very strict. For example, Mulberry recently hired C line's Johnny Coca as its new creative director, but Johnny Coca had to start working for its new company at the end of its contract with LVMH (July).

More importantly, how can LVMH group tolerate its star designers to compete with their competitors? The latest news indicates that LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault has appointed the most experienced manager, Philippe Fortunato, as the CEO of Givenchy. (Philippe Fortunato is the president of North Asia of Louis Vuitton and Chief executive officer He has also held a senior position in Fendi and Christian Dior. )

By 2015, Riccardo Tisci Givenchy has been working for 10 years. He has been quite active lately, including setting up boutiques in the United States and possibly returning to fashion shows. And because of its popularity in fashion design, Givenchy is expected to earn 350 million euros (US $433 million 300 thousand) this year. Givenchy temporarily refused all responses.

　　 Gucci Fashion Joseph Altuzarra won the 2014 CFDA designer dress award, and in October this year, she married her same-sex partner Seth Weissman.

In addition, Gucci's internal candidates may include fashion favorites Joseph Altuzarra and Christopher Kane. Kai Yun group has a minority stake in Altuzarra. Last year, Joseph Altuzarra was sitting in the front row of Gucci show, while his works occasionally mentioned the Gucci series of Tom Ford era. Kai Yun group also owns shares of Christopher Kane brand, and Christopher Kane is also one of the new generation of London designers.

Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier, former Yves Saint Laurent creative director Stefano Pilati rumors are also on the list. It was found that Stefano Pilati served as director of dress design in GUCCI group in 2000, and served as Tom Ford deputy. Later, she created coveted accessories during the eight years of Yves Saint Laurent, including Muse and Downtown bags. He is currently the chief designer of Ermenegildo Zegna and the creative director of Agnona, another women's clothing brand.

Valentino designer Maria Grazia Chiuri and Emilio Pucci designer Peter Dundas are also regarded as hot candidates.

However, whoever takes over the post of Gucci creative director, Kai Yun group emphasizes that di Marco's strategy to enhance brand will continue to be implemented by Marco Bizzarri.

"There is no change in the strategic direction of Gucci. We will continue to pursue the implementation of brand enhancement strategy. Marco Bizzarri's professional knowledge, as well as his understanding of Kai Yun group, enables Gucci to maintain its extraordinary tradition while leading the brand to a new field. Fran ois-Henri Pinault, chairman and chief executive officer of Kai Yun group, said that the Group intends to appoint Marco Bizzarri as its successor.

Having said that, it is understood that the recruitment of Gucci has been going on. Besides the internal candidates, the external candidates will also be considered. Frederick Lukoff, President and chief executive officer of Stella McCartney, is regarded as the main competitor in the group. He is low-key and versatile, and is entirely a template for Marco Bizzarri.
