Dario Vitale helped make Miu Miu a top fashion brand. Now he's set to be Versace's chief creative officer, a role Donatella Versace held for 28 years.

It’s the end of an era at the House of Medusa—and the start of a new one. On Thursday, Versace announced that Donatella Versace, the pure embodiment of the brand’s va-va-voom glamor, is stepping down as creative director after nearly three decades. Her successor is Dario Vitale, a rising star who was most recently the design director of Miu Miu.

Donatella Versace has been replaced as creative director of the fashion house founded by her late brother Gianni Versace.
