New creative direction for the British luxury house will be named “in due course,” the company said in a statement on Monday.

The announcement of Burton’s departure comes amid a broad restructuring at Kering (EPA:PRTP) aimed at reviving sales of its star label Gucci.

Burton, who worked with the British label’s founder Lee McQueen for over 14 years before becoming creative director in 2010, will present her last show for the label in Paris this month.
