Brioni and creative director Brendan Mullane have decided by mutual agreement not to renew their working collaboration, Brioni said.
“I wish to express my gratitude and affection to all my design team and the craftsmen who have worked with me so passionately,” said Mullane, who joined the Roman men’s fashion house, which is owned by Kering, in July 2012. “I wish Brioni the future it deserves among the best luxury brands.”
“Brendan’s passion, vision and charisma always emerged through his work and we are very grateful for his dedicated commitment to the company,” said Brioni chief executive officer Gianluca Flore.
According to the company, which said a new creative director will be appointed in “in due time,” the brand’s spring 2017 collection to be presented at Milan Men’s Fashion Week in June will be developed by an in-house design team.
