Belgian designer Meryll Rogge appointed Marni’s creative director

MILAN (Reuters) -Meryll Rogge has been appointed as new creative director of Marni, the Italian fashion house and its owner OTB said on Tuesday.

The Belgian designer launched its own eponymous brand in 2020, after working at Marc Jacobs and Dries Van Noten.

“Meryll impressed us with the sensitivity she brought to reinterpreting the brand’s DNA, offering a contemporary vision that embraces Marni globally and across all its dimensions”, said Renzo Rosso, chairman of OTB (Only The Brave).

Last month Marni parted ways with its creative director Francesco Risso after almost ten years.
