This nomination gives momentum to Versace’s new strategy which hopes to create new management teams that will lead the label throughout the world, an internal message at the label said.

President of Jil Sander America for three years and at Balenciaga America between 2002 and 2006, Michele Sodi is not lacking in experience as regards luxury fashion houses or the specifics of the American market. He stated that he was “delighted to join Versace” and that this decisive period augured “beautiful development opportunities”.
