Messina and Rizzo’s debut for ⁠Moschino will be unveiled ​during Milan Fashion Week in September.

The ​duo exited Sunnei, a brand they founded in 2014, in September last ​year.

Adrian Appiolaza, who had ​been hired in 2024 as creative director ‌of ⁠the Italian luxury brand, left the company on Friday, according to Aeffe.

“Loris Messina and Simone ​Rizzo ​possess the ⁠qualities required to embrace this challenge: a ​contemporary creative vision, a ​deep ⁠cultural sensibility and the ability to develop relevant and distinctive ⁠creative ​languages,” Aeffe’s executive chairman ​Massimo Ferretti said.
