Ex-Marni creative director teams up with Uniqlo for new summer collection

The collection includes Oxford shirt - (Uniqlo)

Francesco Risso is the fashion mogul whose work includes eight years designing womenswear at Prada plus nearly a decade at Marni, where his penchant for bold clashing patterns, bright colours and textural intrigue put the brand front and centre for fashion that doesn’t take itself too seriously. He was recently appointed global creative director at GU, sister brand to Uniqlo.

His signature flair has been applied to a capsule collection with the Japanese clothing giant under the moniker F.risso, with more than 40 items of clothing and accessories across menswear and womenswear.
