It was what the duo had been fighting to maintain for the past year as they negotiated the terms of their contracts with Serge Weinberg, the low-key but firm chief executive of PPR. The pair's departure, if inevitable, was still the most cataclysmic thing to happen to the fashion world since Gianni Versace's murder in 1997.
