A Tuscan from Follonica, Renne was 46 years old.

He died in Milan of an undisclosed illness, but he had been hospitalised a few days ago for a heart problem.

Renne had headed Gucci’s women’s style office for 20 years and had been appointed Head Designer for Womenswear on October 16 with the task of overseeing the women’s, men’s and accessories collections of the Moschino line.

He was due to make his debut with the autumn/winter 2024 collection during Milan Fashion Week in February.
