**Miuccia Prada’s Right-Hand Man Fabio Zambernardi to Exit the Group After Two Decades**
**Prada’s design director Fabio Zambernardi is set to leave the Italian luxury group after nearly two decades, marking a significant departure for the brand.**
**Zambernardi, who has been Prada’s design director since late 2006, is considered Miuccia Prada’s right-hand man and has played a key role in shaping the brand’s aesthetic over the past 17 years.**
**The Italian designer is known for his minimalist and sophisticated designs, which have helped to define Prada’s signature style.**
**He has also been instrumental in the development of Prada’s menswear line, which has become increasingly important for the brand in recent years.**
**Zambernardi’s departure from Prada is seen as a significant loss for the group, which is currently facing a number of challenges, including slowing sales growth in China and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.**
**The group has not yet announced a replacement for Zambernardi, but it is expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks.**
**Prada is a privately held company founded in 1913 by Mario Prada and his brother Martino. The group is now led by Miuccia Prada, who took over the creative direction of the brand in 1978.**
**Prada is one of the world’s leading luxury fashion brands, with annual sales of over €3 billion.**
**The group owns a number of other luxury brands, including Miu Miu, Church’s, and Car Shoe.**
**Zambernardi’s departure from Prada is sure to be felt by the group, but it is also an opportunity for the brand to refresh its creative vision and start a new chapter in its history.**.
