COVER GIRL: Fiorucci on Tuesday introduced a 15-piece capsule collection designed by Naomi Campbell at Ittierre’s sprawling new Milan headquarters. Fiorucci just inked a four-year license with Ittierre, the Italian clothing manufacturer that produces young collections for Ermanno Scervino and Costume National, among others. The first line will bow for spring. “This agreement is important to accelerate the development of the company,” said Antonio Bianchi, owner of Albisetti, which now controls Ittierre.
Edouard Obringer, managing director of Fiorucci, said it was “a natural evolution” to team with Campbell, as the company also launched a selection of T-shirts printed with i-D Magazine covers featuring the model. “The magazine chose Milan’s Fiorucci store for its Italian launch in 1982. It’s a great opportunity to revitalize the history of our brand,” he said.
Fiorucci is now owned by Japanese group Edwin and designer Elio Fiorucci is no longer involved in the company.
