Kering confirmed on Wednesday that creative director Alessandro Michele is leaving Italian luxury goods company Gucci after seven years. “I am grateful to Alessandro for bringing so much of himself in this adventure,” said François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of Kering, in a statement, referring to the designer’s tenure as “an outstanding moment” in the label’s history.
The designer’s departure followed tensions between the designer and Kering’s top management, a source told the media. “There are times when paths part ways because of the different perspectives each one of us may have. Today an extraordinary journey ends for me, lasting more than twenty years, within a company to which I have tirelessly dedicated all my love and creative passion,” said Michele.
Kering did not name a successor to the designer Wednesday, noting that the label’s “design office will continue to carry the direction of the House forward until a new creative organization” is announced.

Nigeria has launched new banknotes in an effort to fight counterfeiting and the financing of Islamist groups. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari said on Wednesday that the new naira bank notes would help to control liquidity in an economy where most money is held outside the bank.
The 200, 500, and 1000 naira notes are the ones being replaced. The redesigned notes, which are produced in Nigeria by the Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company, have new security features, the president said during the introduction of the new notes at the presidential villa. The central bank of Nigeria is reported to have announced plans to begin issuing the new notes to the public on December 15, 2022. Members of the public have until January 31, 2023, to hand in their old notes.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a two-match ban and £50,000 fine from the Football Association for smashing a fan’s phone back in April. The event happened to a young fan with autism and dyspraxia following Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park last season, for which the forward was initially cautioned by Merseyside Police. The FA have released a statement explaining Ronaldo was charged with “improper and/or violent” conduct, for which he has been served with a two-game suspension along with his hefty fine.
“Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended for two matches, fined £50,000, and warned as to his future conduct for a breach of FA Rule E3,” the FA’s statement read. “The forward admitted that his conduct after the final whistle of the Premier League game between Manchester United FC and Everton FC on Saturday 9 April 2022 was improper. An independent Regulatory Commission found that his conduct was both improper and violent during a subsequent hearing, and imposed these sanctions.” Ronaldo’s punishment comes in what has been a turbulent few days for the Portugal international. United announced on Tuesday that they had mutually agreed to terminate the player’s contract.
