A Stunning Loss for Moschino and Luxury Brands with Heart: Davide Renne Leaves Our Earth AOC Fashion

Moschino’s new creative director Davide Renne arrived at the Italian house on November 1, 2023. Renne’s candle had no time to burn brightly in his new assignment, as the designer passed into a another dimension today, November 10, 2023.

Updated: The NYTimes is reporting Saturday that a heart attack [obviously a massive one] claimed Renne’s body and earthly existence just 10 days after his arrival at Moschino.

The designer’s resume was defined largely by two decades at Gucci, eventually as Head Designer of Womenswear, working with Alessandro Michele.

In speaking about his new Moschino appointment, David Renne expressed unusual affection and respect for Massimo Ferretti, Chairman of Aeffe SpA and brother to Italian brand designer Alberta Ferretti.

AOC Saw Great Potential Between Renne and Moschino

For our part, Anne of Carversville saw enormous potential in Renne’s appointment, writing:

This decision by Aeffe SpA could be a very wise one. With so much experience working as Head Designer of Womenswear at Gucci, Moschino can work with Davide Renne to position the brand as a refuge for all the wit and whimsy lovers thrown overboard with the new Gucci.

A Message From Alessandro Michele to Davide Renne

We heard from Alessandro Michele today, in response to Davide Renne’s passing. The brilliant creative shared a photo of them working together, with these words.

My sweet friend, inseparable brother, so much love. What an amazing and unforgettable journey we had together. So many laughs and pure joy. How many unconscious dreams we've been chasing. And how we hugged each other tightly, with a heartbeat. Because you weren't just one of the most talented creatives I've ever known. You were above all an irreplaceable part of a little tight-knit family. Ours, the one we chose to build with all the love in the world.

I can't help but desperately cry for you now. On this rainy day when I miss you like air, I so want to hug you and tell you, once more, everything will be okay.
