Marco de Vincenzo

Published on September 23, 2022

Marco de Vincenzo is the creative director for Etro and former designer for his namesake label. In 2009, Marco de Vincenzo presented a small haute couture collection in Paris. Months later, he scored his first media coup, when Franca Sozzani awarded him the main prize in Who Is On Next, Italian Vogue’s competition for young designers. De Vincenzo grew up in Messina, Sicily and at 18 moved to Rome to study at Istituto Europeo di Design . After graduating, he joined Fendi, assisting Silvia Venturini Fendi and designing accessories. De Vincenzo divides his time between the luxury brand and his namesake label, which LVMH acquired 45 percent of in 2014. The investment pushed expectations higher, with the brand launching shoes and bags, and appointing its first chief executive. In 2016, the company introduced pre-collections and in April 2019 it was announced that he would debut his menswear line at Pitti. This expansion came following a restructuring of the company in which LVMH retained its 45 percent share and MMGP entered with a 35 percent share, leaving 20 percent control to the eponymous designer. The namesake label later closed in 2020 with his Autumn/Winter 2020 collection being his final collection. In February 2022, he launched his upcycling project, Supèrno, and later, in June, he was appointed creative director of Etro’s women's, men's and home collections.Photo Credits: Oskar Cecere
