All is a-change in the world of menswear – in news that broke yesterday, Berluti and Brioni have announced that they will be parting ways with their respective creative directors, Alessandro Sartori and Brendan Mullane. Will the houses be doing a “wife swap” style switch? Probably not. But who knows? “Brendan’s passion, vision and charisma always emerged through his work and we are very grateful for his dedicated commitment to the company,” said Brioni chief executive officer Gianluca Flore. Meanwhile, Sartori is leaving for an unnamed “opportunity”. Oooh. And just because we love rumour (we work in fashion, duh) – there are whisperings that Mr Stefano Pilati will be exiting the Ermenegildo Zegna building. Stay tuned.
