Beloved Marni Creative Director Consuelo Castiglioni Is Leaving, Will Be Replaced by a Man
WWD reports that Consuelo Castiglioni, the Italian genius who cofounded the label Marni with her husband in 1994, will leave the house as creative director. Her replacement is Francesco Risso, who worked at Anna Molinari, Alessandro Dell’Acqua, and Malo before landing at Prada for special projects. He is the latest appointment in a string of men given the top position in houses primarily known for womenswear (Marni launched a menswear line in 2007).
