MILAN, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Moschino's newly-appointed
creative director Davide Renne has died, Italian fashion group
Aeffe AEF.MI said in a statement on Friday.
Renne, Gucci's former head designer for womenswear, took on
the role at Moschino on Nov. 1.
"There are no words to describe the pain we are experiencing
at this dramatic time. Davide joined us only a few days ago,
when a sudden illness took him from us too soon. We still can't
believe what happened," Aeffe CEO Massimo Ferretti said.
Renne, 46, was expected to debut his first collection for
Moschino at the Milan Fashion Week in February.
