AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, April 14 (UPI) -- Gucci, one of Europe's top fashion houses, is losing more of its creative talent, the Financial Times reported Wednesday.

The latest exodus follows the departures of chief executive Domenico De Sole and creative director Tom Ford.

The most important new departure will be that of Toshiaki Tashiro, head of Gucci's vital Japanese operations.

In addition, Renato Ricci, head of group human resources, and Lisa Schiek, who as worldwide director of communications controlled the personal image of Ford. Tomaso Galli, the global director of group corporate communications is also resigning.

The departures come at a critical time for Gucci, which is being bought by France's Pinault Printemps Redoute retail company for $8.6 billion.
