Simone Bellotti Is Jil Sander’s New Creative Director 

This just in! Jil Sander has found its next creative director in Simone Bellotti. The news broke in a press release this morning, following last month’s surprise exit of former co-creative directors Luke and Lucie Meier mere minutes after their Fall 2025 show. Bellotti joins Jil Sander after his most recent gig as Bally’s creative director, as well as a 16-year career at Gucci and former roles at A.F. Vandervorst, Gianfranco Ferré, Dolce & Gabbana, and Bottega Veneta. With such a vast range of experience and expertise, the industry is looking forward to Bellotti’s future—and debut collection—at the beloved minimalist brand.

Did Jonathan Anderson Just Confirm His Loewe Exit On Instagram?

The latest addition to Jonathan Anderson‘s rumored Loewe exit discourse comes from…Anderson himself! Over the weekend, the designer took to his personal Instagram page to share a heartfelt Reels post jam-packed with moments from his tenure at Loewe. Highlights include various runway shows, red carpets, celeb moments with Rihanna and Jennifer Coolidge, and quirky campaigns starring Daniel Craig, Jodie Comer, Aubrey Plaza, Dan Levy, and more. The clip’s retrospective nature, however, has us pondering if Anderson’s just confirmed his flight from Loewe’s nest onto his next role. After all, the rumors around his departure have been swirling since December, and Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez apparently signed an LVMH contract with Loewe in January. Who can say! We’ll be keeping an eagle-eyed watch on the potential swap—especially as Loewe’s mushroom-filled Fall 2025 presentation takes place this morning during Paris Fashion Week. In the meantime, you can watch Anderson’s sweet clip online—and keep an eye out for equally supportive comments from insiders like Kylie Minogue, Tracee Ellis Ross, Dan Levy, Eva Chen, Laura Brown, Amanda Murray, Nick Haramis, Evan Ross Katz, Roopal Patel, Alexander Fury, Lucien Pages, Mickey Boardman, Justin Moran, Kristina O’Neill, and more.
