Etro, Marco De Vincenzo leaves the creative leadership. The company: "We look to the future with confidence"
He had been creative director since 2022 and had taken over from Veronica and Kean Etro after the family sold the majority stake in the company to L Catterton. Last December he had also sold his remaining minority stake
After almost four years, Marco De Vincenzo and Etro are parting ways. The Milan-based company has announced that the designer will leave the creative leadership of the brand, a role he held since 2022 and in which he had replaced Veronica and Kean Etro.
Born in Messina in 1978, De Vincenzo graduated from the European Institute of Design in Rome and began his career in fashion as an accessories designer for Fendi. In 2009 he launched the brand that bears his name and in the same year won the Who Is On Next scouting project organised by Vogue Italia. His first collection for Etro was presented in September 2022, the last one, for AW 26-27, during the recent Milan fashion week.

"The decision, reached by mutual agreement, is part of a new strategic phase for the brand," reads the note issued by Etro. During his tenure, Marco De Vincenzo has led the brand's creative direction, developing collections that have interpreted and enhanced Etro's identity codes, accompanying the company through a significant phase of growth and stylistic renewal".
Etro 'would like to express its thanks to Marco De Vincenzo for his dedication, professionalism and creative contribution over the years, wishing him all the best for his future projects'.
The brand 'now looks to the next developments with confidence, continuing on the path of enhancing its lifestyle identity and creative heritage, in continuity with the innovation and values that have always distinguished it'.
