Following the sudden and tragic passing of David Renne, Moschino found themselves without a creative director but have since filled with the void with the appointment of Adrian Appiolaza. The Argentinian designer will oversee womenswear, menswear and accessories collections at the Aeffe-owned house and is set to unveil his debut collection during Milan Fashion Week’s upcoming Fall 2024 season on February 22.
Prior to landing the gig at Moschino, Appiolaza previously held the position of womenwear’s ready-to-wear design director at Chloé working under Clare Waight Keller, before taking up the same position at Loewe under Jonathan Anderson.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“I’m actually impressed how Aeffe tried to find someone actually talented! I must say, I’m genuinely curious about Appiolaza’s direction for Moschino, at least it’s not going to be based on some brainless hype.” [perhydrol]
“Damn he got no time to rest and no time until his debut.” [tourbillions]
“Curious about this one! And curious as to how Loewe will shift with him gone.” [lookatme]
“YES! I’m immensely proud of my friend. Finally someone who actually knows how to make great clothes is going to be in charge of a big brand. He’s also the first Argentinian to get a top job like this one.” [helmutnotdead]
“Adrian is very talented, I think he really helped shape Loewe, but he does have his own soul. I am sure that this will be good!” [Tchi]
“This looks like a great appointment, someone with experience and an amazing background of having worked at different brands. I’m sure he’ll be great, I’m rooting for him.” [donyan]
