Filippo Grazioli is stepping down as the creative director of Missoni after just over two years to pursue “new creative and artistic challenges,” the Italian fashion house announced today.
He will be succeeded by company veteran Alberto Caliri.
Caliri has previously served as interim creative director after Angela Missoni, the daughter of the brand’s founder, stepped down in 2021 during a management overhaul.
Grazioli joined the family-owned brand in 2022, overseeing both men’s and women’s collections as well as the lifestyle division. Prior to his role at Missoni, he worked at Burberry under Riccardo Tisci, first as design director for women’s runway and later as a consultant. He also held the position of head designer for women’s ready-to-wear at Givenchy, again under Tisci.
Caliri has been with Missoni since 1998 and most recently led its home and sport categories. For the Spring/Summer 2025 show in Milan, Grazioli focused on Missoni’s iconic zigzag stripes, creating a collection that was described by Vogue Runway’s Tiziana Cardini as “both punchy and strangely captivating.” The show was styled by Imruh Asha, a Paris-based stylist and Dazed fashion director known for his eclectic use of color.
“We are grateful to Filippo for his contribution and dedication. We look to the future with confidence, continuing our path of growth driven by innovation and quality while staying true to our strong identity,”
stated Missoni CEO Livio Proli.
Grazioli expressed his gratitude for his time at Missoni, saying, “It has been an honor and a privilege to be part of Missoni. I am proud of the achievements and the experiences shared with the entire team. I am now ready to face new challenges and explore new frontiers.”
