Designer Alessandro Michele caused quite a stir recently when he announced his departure from Gucci. Having helmed the fashion house since 2015, he is a favourite the world over.

During his tenure as creative director, he managed to turn around the fortunes of Gucci. He is said to have successfully rebranded it with his young, cool and off-kilter designs.
