Summary
This week we’re revisiting Nicole's conversation with Francesco Risso, the creative director at Marni. He just showed his latest collection in Milan, and Vogue’s own Tiziana Cardini called it “a testament to the power of creativity.”
For the past nine years, Risso has transformed the formerly family-owned Italian label launched by Consuelo Castiglioni in 1994 from a purveyor of sophisticated, off-beat clothes for artsy women to a laboratory for experimental and innovative forms of creative expression.
Risso delves into his years at Prada, his unconventional upbringing, and as a special bonus, you’ll also learn the meaning behind his Instagram handle @asliceofbambi.

| 0:00.0 | This is The Run Through. I'm Nicole Phelps. |
| 0:07.6 | Chow! |
| 0:08.6 | We are taping this a week before the shows begin in Milan, but by the time you hear it, we'll |
| 0:13.7 | be smack dab in the middle of the city shows. |
| 0:17.0 | I'm really excited about Lorenzo Serafini's debut at Alberta Ferretti. He is a designer who's been waiting in the wings for a big appointment for a long time. And he knows Alberta Ferretti's repertoire quite well, having worked at philosophy. So that's one to look forward to. I'm also curious to see what Loris and Simone at Sunet are cooking up. They are opening their first retail space in Milan, |
| 0:39.5 | and they think so differently about the runway, |
| 0:42.6 | I have a feeling they'll also think differently about retail. |
| 0:46.0 | Also, all eyes will be on Bally, |
| 0:48.4 | where Simone Bellotti has made such a big impression |
| 0:52.0 | in such a short amount of time, |
| 0:53.6 | and he's already being rumored about for other jobs. |
| 0:56.6 | So that is another must-see. |
| 0:58.8 | But of course, there's Marnie. |
| 1:00.2 | I love my conversation with Marnie's creative director, |
| 1:03.2 | Francesco Rissso, so much that we had to rerun it. |
| 1:06.7 | I think of him as fashion's great artist philosopher, |
| 1:09.8 | so it was really interesting to hear him talk about the state of fashion and what inspires him. |
| 1:15.2 | Please enjoy my conversation with Francesco. |
| 1:21.6 | Thank you, Francesco, for being here today on the Run Through podcast. |
| 1:25.8 | Thank you, Nicole. It's such a pleasure to see you, even with The World Farm. |
| 1:30.6 | I am so glad you're here. I don't know if you saw this, but in the days after the shows, |
| 1:37.3 | we often talk about our favorite collections on vogue.com. And I named your show, your Marnie show, |
