Moschino S.p.A. appoints Alessandro Varisco as Managing Director

Notes and media contacts

Moschino (AEFFE Group):
Moschino occupies an important position on the international fashion stage, thanks to its own history, consistency and continuity. The Moschino, Moschino Cheap and Chic and Love Moschino collections are the expression of a creative reality lead by a spirit of irony and elegance, through the reinterpretation of classics. Rossella Jardini has been Moschino's Creative Director since 1994.

Responsible for the brand image and style, Jardini fulfils the role of 'creative witness', keeping the stylistic and philosophical approach alive following the death of Franco Moschino (on 18 September 1994), with whom she collaborated from 1981, first with Cadette and later with the signature label.

The owner of the Moschino labels is Moschino SpA, which was acquired in 1999 by Aeffe SpA (producer of Moschino since 1983) and by Sportswear International SpA (since 2006 SINV Holding S.p.A.). Moschino SpA manages independently its own brand, licensing contracts, communication and coordination of business politics. 'Moschino Far East' was set up in 2002 with its head office in Hong Kong, as a joint venture with Bluebell Far East Ltd (Moschino S.p.A. 50.1% - Bluebell 49.9%), which coordinates all the major Eastern markets (Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan).

Moschino SpA is a subsidiary of AEFFE SpA, a luxury goods company, listed in the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange. The Aeffe Group operates internationally in the prêt-à-porter, footwear and leather goods sectors with very well-known brands including Alberta Ferretti, Pollini and Jean Paul Gaultier, as well as Moschino.
