A new vibe hits Marni as Meryll Rogge brings her offbeat style and eco-conscious mindset to the top job.
Marni’s next chapter kicks off with Belgian designer Meryll Rogge taking over as Creative Director. The news follows the exit of Francesco Risso, who spent nearly ten years shaping the label’s off-kilter aesthetic.
Rogge is no stranger to boundary-pushing design. After graduating from Antwerp’s respected Royal Academy of Fine Arts, she got her start in New York at Marc Jacobs then joined Dries Van Noten in a senior design role. In 2020, she launched her own label, an underground favorite known for its offbeat tailoring, raw energy and creative use of upcycled materials.
Fresh off a big win, Rogge recently snagged the 2025 ANDAM Grand Prize and became the first woman to be named Belgium’s Designer of the Year. She’s stepping into the Marni spotlight with serious momentum. Expect sharp cuts, subversive energy and a rethink of what modern menswear and beyond can look like.
