Davide Renne takes over from Jeremy Scott.
After two decades at Gucci, Davide Renne is taking on the role of creative director at Moschino following the departure of former creative director Jeremy Scott. Jeremy Scott, best known for pop culture-inspired design, announced his departure after a decade with Moschino, in March 2023.
Meet Davide Renne.
Taken from a statement, Renne mentioned, “Franco Moschino had a nickname for his design studio: la sala giochi – the playroom. This resonates deeply with me: what fashion – Italian fashion especially, and the House of Moschino most of all, can achieve with its enormous power, should be accomplished with a sense of play, of joy.”
Davide Renne, best known as the Head designer of Womenswear at Gucci, is set to direct Moschino’s menswear, womenswear, and accessories for the brand’s main line.
Renne also expressed his gratitude toward Executive Chairman Massimo Ferretti, describing him as “a gentleman who has been almost fatherly in his ability to listen and establish a dialogue during our encounters.”
He continued to say, “Thank you, Mr. Ferretti, for giving me the keys to your playroom. I can’t wait to begin – we’ll have fun. Together”.
In a statement on Instagram, Executive Chairman Massimo Ferretti welcomed Davide to Moschino, expressing his confidence that “he will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Moschino, a global House with an Italian heart, and a truly unique DNA in the luxury industry.”
He also went on to praise Davide’s “extremely sophisticated vision of fashion’s power to create a living dialogue with the world around us and by his deep understanding of the House of Moschino’s legacy and of our codes. He is a brilliant designer and a special human being”.
Renne is set to commence his role on 1 November 2023 and will present his first Fall/ Winter collection with the Italian fashion house during Milan Fashion Week in February 2024.
