Vionnet News

The fashion world is buzzing over the news that the House of Vionnet is being taken over by Italian fashion executive Matteo Marzotto, former CEO of Valentino. Rodolfo Paglialunga, a former assistant to Miuccia Prada, will head the design team.

BOF has done a full interview with Arnaud de Lummen, the outgoing CEO and former primary shareholder in Vionnet, a brand which has been in his family for over twenty years and its worth a read.

But before you pop over there take a peek at some of the original pieces from the infamous Madeleine Vionnet. You can see why this might be a tough task for Rodolfo to live up to.
