5

Marni‘s the latest brand to enter the designer shuffle! Creative director Francesco Risso has announced his exit from the label this morning, according to Hypebeast. Risso’s held his position at Marni since 2016, also marking him the second-ever lead at the brand since founder Consuelo Cartiglioni. During his Marni tenure, Risso was known for his boundary-pushing and whimsical approach to design, with pieces combining artistic details and vibrant colors—including multi-toned knits, spliced patterns, and punchy colors. The designer also became known for a slew of viral moments during his runway shows, from sticker-like dresses to the bunny costume he wore to take a bow at his Fall 2020 show. At this time, Risso’s next steps—and who will replace him at Marni, which is owned by OTB—remains unknown. His departure marks the latest shift in designers in 2025, including Jonathan Anderson‘s appointment at Dior, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s post at Loewe, and more.
