Tisci's exit 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 he is heading to Versace.

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.

'Your love and support, in the day and in the night, will forever remain in my heart. #love #givenchy #forever

'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 his dear friend, 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 its 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 as the helm of the fashion house.
