Francesco Risso is stepping down as Marni creative director after a decade, the OTB Group announced Tuesday, marking yet another high-level creative shift in the fashion world.

Marni creative director Francesco Risso set up an impromptu jazz club and invited friends like Tracee Ellis Ross to model his latest collection during Milan Fashion Week previews on Wednesday for Fall-Winter 2025-26.

As the northern hemisphere started transitioning from summer to fall, Milan Fashion Week invites fashionistas to dream about the next warm weather season.

Bright prints were taken from artworks she created during Italy’s strict lockdown — some of which were also included in the auction. The lockdown, Risso said, instantly interrupted the Marni creative process, which he described as “very sensorial and tactile,” characterized by pieces passing from one hand to the other, while inspiring new ways of creating. Somehow the anarchy about it, the devotion to freedom and self-expression has been central to the work," Risso said.
