This just in from WWD:
Alessandra Facchinetti has been confirmed as officially out at Valentino, pending a vote by the company’s board.
But her successor, after just two seasons with the house, won’t be Giambattista Valli, as some were hoping.
The new targets designers?
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, longtime accessories designers for Valentino.
No word on yet on where Alessandra’s heading, or whether today’s collection ever had a prayer of saving her..
