And just like that, Pieter Mulier is no longer unemployed: On Thursday, Versace announced that the Belgian designer will take over as Chief Creative Officer, effective July 1. He succeeds Dario Vitale, who unexpectedly stepped down in early December after only one season at the helm. The news also comes less than a week after Mulier announced his departure from Alaïa.

"When we considered the Versace acquisition, we identified Pieter Mulier as the right person for the brand," Versace Executive Chairman Lorenzo Bertelli said in a press statement. "We believe that he can truly unlock Versace's full potential and that he will be able to engage in a fruitful dialogue with the brand's strong legacy. We are excited to begin this journey together."

The Belgian designer has a strong fashion resume: For more than a decade, he worked under Raf Simons across Simons' various creative directorships. In 2021, Mulier stepped into his first leadership role as the creative director of Alaïa. Over the past four years, he established a distinct style and generated significant industry buzz for the brand. Alaïa's sharp, architectural designs and timeless, collectible accessories won over a broader, younger fan base, as well as many celebrity fans (e.g., Rihanna).

In his new role, Mulier is tasked with maintaining Versace's well-known image, all while bringing his own fresh take. Bertelli reportedly wants to keep the style established by Gianni and Donatella Versace. 

Mulier joins a long list of new high-profile appointments at major luxury houses, including Balmain's Antonin Tron, Hermès' Grace Wales Bonner, Proenza Schouler's Rachel Scott and Marni's Meryll Rogge.

For so many who pursue a career in design, it's the memories of watching glamorously decorated films and television shows and ornate stagings of theatrical productions that serve as their initial motivations to enter the fashion industry. While some might be inspired to create their own fashion labels, others experience a different calling. That is, to costume design. Linda Muir, the Oscar-nominated costume designer for her work on Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu," explains that the skillsets required for each career path differ. "If a person goes to fashion school, they will likely learn skills that are more geared toward creating clothing for people to go into a store and buy," she tells Fashionista. "So often, I meet people who would like to work in a film costume department, but they don't necessarily know how to do the things that, if on a period film, for instance, we would need them to do." Whether it's a period piece or contemporary, ev...

I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah – Latest Fashion Trends & Style Tips March 28, 2025 at 08:30PM

📰 I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. As it did for most early-2000s babies, Polly Pocket reigned supreme as my childhood toy of choice. Of course, my Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop collections were close contenders (and later my Monster High queens), but I cherished Polly Pocket's heart-shaped compact dollhouses with their teeny-tiny figures. Polly Pocket underwent a major makeover in the late '90s, transforming her from the cutest potential choking hazard to a slightly larger ponytailed doll with candy-colored rubber (read: chewable) clothing. It was this revamped Polly's Y2K-inspired style that influenced my own fashion sense, and now Lisa Says Gah is bringing the toy's nostalgic aesthetic to life as the California-based multi-brand retailer teamed up with Polly Pocke...

Any beauty product you see here has been vetted and tested by the editor recommending it. As we approach the official start to spring and take time to tidy up, refresh and generally reset so many aspects of our lives, I ask you: Why neglect the skin? If you're at all like me, even though you spent the winter months moisturizing dutifully, your dull, scaly arms and legs are begging for a little extra attention. Enter:  Lilis Instant Peel , the most satisfying body exfoliator I've ever tried. I first heard about Lilis — a body-care brand inspired by "Korean skin-care innovation and spa culture" — from beloved NYC facialist  Elizabeth Grace Hand, who sung its praises in a holiday gift guide we did last year . "Nothing makes the skin quite as soft as thi...
