Fashion career profile

Demna

Demna is a Georgian designer and artistic director of Gucci. Kering appointed him to Gucci in 2025 after a decade directing Balenciaga, with the Gucci position beginning in July and covering the house’s artistic direction. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, worked at Maison Margiela and Louis Vuitton, and co-founded Vetements before his Balenciaga tenure. The directory records the appointment with its stated role scope and keeps it separate from corporate ownership, operating management and financial reporting. The directory records the succession from Alessandro Michele and Sabato De Sarno separately and distinguishes Demna’s fashion role from Francesca Bellettini’s Gucci CEO mandate and Kering’s consolidated reporting. This profile is a professional reference record: confirmed roles are distinguished from former, interim and unannounced positions rather than inferred from runway credits or a company name.
