Francesco Risso Leaves Marni After a Decade as Creative Director in Another Fashion World Shakeup
- Francesco Risso is leaving his role as creative director of Marni in 2025 after nearly a decade at the Milan-based fashion house.
- Risso joined Marni in 2016 after founder Consuelo Castiglioni’s exit, taking over during a high-pressure time and overcoming early criticism.
- He transformed Marni with bold, whimsical designs, including handpainted fabrics and patchworks, creating off-beat collections that stood out amid luxury market sameness.
- Chairman Renzo Rosso praised Risso as a unique designer who embraced Marni’s spirit and together they built foundations for a new chapter.
- Risso’s departure marks the third major creative change within OTB this season, but no successor has been announced, leaving future directions uncertain.
