(CNN) — Italian fashion designer Davide Renne, Moschino’s new creative director, has died at the age of 46, according to a press release issued by the brand’s parent company, Aeffe SpA.
Renne’s appointment as Moschino’s new creative director was announced on October 16. Renne had started working at the luxury fashion house on November 1 and died nine days later, on November 10.
“There are no words to describe the pain we are experiencing at this dramatic moment,” says the statement issued by Massimo Ferretti, president of Aeffe SpA. “Davide joined us just a few days ago, when a sudden illness took him from us too soon. “We still can’t believe what has happened.”
Moschino’s first collection under Renne’s direction was scheduled to debut at Milan Fashion in February 2024. Renne had previously been Gucci’s women’s fashion director, and was chosen to replace Jeremy Scott, who had led the brand for the last decade.
“What fashion—especially Italian fashion, and the house of Moschino above all—can achieve with its enormous power must be achieved with a sense of play, of joy,” Renne said in a statement at the time of his appointment. “Thank you, Mr. Ferretti, for giving me the keys to your game room. I can’t wait to get started.”
Ferretti praised Renne’s magnetic and creative spirit in the press release alerting the media of his death. “Although he was with us for a very short time, Davide knew how to make himself loved and respected immediately. Today we have the responsibility of continuing what his imagination and creativity had envisioned. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.”
