Creative Director of Italian luxury label Salvatore Ferragamo, Massimiliano Giornetti is stepping down from his post after 16 years of being associated with the brand. He joined the company in 2000 as a menswear designer, before taking over the role of Creative Director in 2011.
Commenting on the departure of Giornetti, Michele Norsa, CEO of Salvatore Ferragamo said, “Over the years, the company has discovered and supported so many young talents and today can count on an excellent in-house creative team. We’ll seize this opportunity to revisit our approach to creativity.” Replacement of Giornetti is yet to be announced; Ferragamo’s in-house team will continue designing for the brand at the moment.

Before joining Ferragamo, Giornetti worked with Rome-based designer Anton Giulio Grande on the development of the ready-to-wear and haute couture collections; he later worked as a designer for a knitwear company specializing in cashmere.
It’ll be interesting to see who will step into Giornetti’s shoes for Salvatore Ferragamo as the designer did well for the label for such a long course of time…
