Kering’s flagship label Gucci ended its collaboration with creative director Sabato De Sarno as the brand faces weak demand and as the French group seeks to rejuvenate its fashion houses.

Gucci has announced that its creative director of under two years, Sabato De Sarno, has left the position just two and a half weeks before the next runway show.

The future of the brand is in question following the designer's exit from Gucci, where he changed the image and failed to deliver commercial results.
