Designer Riccardo Tisci has left Givenchy after 12 years with the French couture house.
The luxury label confirmed to WWD that the 42-year-old's last collections were Fall 2017 menswear and Spring 2017 couture, which were shown together at the National Library of France in Paris last month.
The separation took effect on January 31 following the end of his latest contract, and while sources told the publication that the parting was 'mutual and amicable', rumors are swirling that Tisci is heading to Versace.
Moving on: Designer Riccardo Tisci has left Givenchy after 12 years with the French couture house

Tisci famously designed Kim Kardashian's custom-made wedding gown, which she wore to say 'I do' to Kanye West in 2014.
Most recently, Meryl Streep wore his design to the Golden Globes, and he has earned a bevvy of other A-list fans, including Beyonce, Cate Blanchett, Jessica Chastain, and Naomi Campbell.
After the news was announced on Thursday, Tisci took to his Instagram page to share a photo of a sunset and reflect on his time at Givenchy.
'A giant heartfelt thank you to #givenchy, #lvmh, my incredible team, the magical atelier and everyone who made these 93 collections possible and all the other crazy adventures,' he wrote.

'Your love and support, in the day and in the night, will forever remain in my heart. #love #givenchy #forever
Meanwhile, Givenchy praised the designer for his work on its Instagram page.
'The House of Givenchy applauds Riccardo Tisci’s vision that led to a very successful twelve-year partnership. We warmly thank him for his outstanding contribution to our beautiful ongoing story,' the label wrote.
Tisci made headlines in 2015 when he invited designer Donatella Versace to appear in a Givenchy ad campaign, and last month, WWD reported that the Italian fashion house has been trying to recruit him.
According to the publication, Givenchy will not be holding a runway show for the Fall 2017 women's collection at Paris Fashion Week. However, the studio designed line will be sold to retailers in the label's showroom in Paris.
Givenchy has yet to announce who will be replacing Tisci at the helm of the fashion house.
