Francesco Risso on His Spring 2025 Marni Show, His Years at Prada, and the Backstory Behind His Instagram Handle

This week we're joined by Francesco Risso, the creative director at Marni.

For the past nine years, Risso has transformed the formerly family-owned Italian label launched by Consuelo Castiglioni in 1994 from a purveyor of sophisticated, off-beat clothes for artsy women to a laboratory for experimental and innovative forms of creative expression.

Risso delves into his years at Prada, his unconventional upbringing, and as a special bonus, you’ll also learn the meaning behind his Instagram handle @asliceofbambi.
