The appointment comes over six months after the departure of American designer Jeremy Scott, known for his bold, colourful creations.
Renne will take up the role from 1 November and his debut collection will be for autumn/winter 2024-25, presented at Milan Fashion Week in February.
Massimo Ferretti, executive chairman of Aeffe SpA, said, in a press release: “We have all been impressed by Davide’s extremely sophisticated vision of fashion’s power to create a living dialogue with the world around us, and by his deep understanding of the House of Moschino’s legacy and of our codes. He is a brilliant designer, and a special human being: Franco (Franco Moschino) used to say that bad manners are the only true bad taste and getting to know Davide I have been struck not only by his obvious talent but by his kindness, his sensibility.”
Talking about his new role, Renne said: "Franco Moschino had a nickname for his design studio: la sala giochi - the playroom. This resonates deeply with me: what fashion - Italian fashion especially, and the House of Moschino most of all, can achieve with its enormous power, should be accomplished with a sense of play, of joy. A sense of discovery, and experimentation.”
