UK: Burberry Signs Up Gucci Design Supremo
Luxury British clothing brand Burberry has appointed a new design director - Christopher Bailey, former Gucci supremo. The ex-Gucci man takes over from Roberto Menichetti, who helped turn the classic brand founded in 1856, into a powerful fashion name. Bailey, 30, had been a senior designer at Gucci since 1996. Prior to that, he worked as a designer at Donna Karan.
