Lucia Croce, Katy Perry, Matteo Marzotto and Barbara Croce
News just in! The below statement from French fashion house Vionnet has just arrived in the Grazia Daily inbox:
‘Barbara and Lucia Croce have, currently, interrupted their collaboration with Vionnet SpA. The work on the current SS 2013 collection is being carried out by the in-house design team and we will be proud to present it on the 28th September in Paris, where we will also be celebrating 100th Anniversary of the brand on the 30th of September with a special event and presentation of the Demi Couture collection.’
Rumours are whirling that the design sisters are leaving the label following a reported fall-out with new owner Goga Ashkenazi. The pair were first hired in October 2011 by former owners Matteo Marzotto and Gianni Castiglioni who remain as shareholders.
We’ll keep you informed as new stories arrive.
