Marni’s next creative chapter will be led by Meryll Rogge, known for her sharp tailoring and vintage-tinged storytelling.
Marni has named Belgian designer Meryll Rogge as its new creative director, marking a new chapter for the Italian house.
Rogge, who won the 2025 ANDAM Grand Prize, studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and previously held design positions at Marc Jacobs and Dries Van Noten. In a statement, she said she was “honored to join Marni, which [she has] long admired for its independent spirit.” She added, “To take on a role defined by such visionary creative directors is both humbling and inspiring.”
Since launching her namesake label in 2020, Rogge has shown her collections in Paris, establishing a clear identity rooted in vintage whimsy and sharp construction.
OTB chairman Renzo Rosso noted that Rogge stood out among a global pool of applicants. “We met many highly qualified candidates, confirming how Marni continues to inspire and attract creatives from around the world,” Rosso said. “Meryll impressed us with the sensitivity she brought to reinterpreting the brand’s DNA, offering a contemporary vision that embraces Marni globally and across all its dimensions — including accessories, interior design, communication, and special projects.”
Rogge’s first collection for the house is expected to build on Marni’s distinct point of view while speaking to a wider international audience.
