The French fashion brand Maison Margiela has appointed Gaetano Sciuto as its new CEO, and Stefano Rosso as president.
Sciuto will take over as CEO next month, replacing Gianfranco Gianangeli, who departed the company to pursue a new career opportunity. Meanwhile, Stefano Rosso, a member of OTB’s board and the CEO of Brave Virtual Xperience, was named president last month, succeeding his father Renzo, who had served in that capacity since OTB acquired Maison Margiela in 2002.
Both will report to Ubaldo Minelli, CEO of the OTB group.
Sciuto has over 30 years of experience working in the fashion and luxury industries and holds a business economics degree from Milan’s Bocconi University. He used to be the CEO of Giorgio Armani Americas before working for Maison Margiela. Prior to that, he had held different positions at Fendi.
OTB Group expanded its presence in China with four new flagships last year. It opened four large-scale storefronts for Maison Margiela, Marni, Amiri, and Jil Sander on the busiest corner of West Nanjing Road in Shanghai, its largest retail project to date.
