After striking a deal with Italy’s Gibò Co. SpA, Rochas is
back in business with its
newly appointed creative director, Marco Zanini. With no time to waste, Zanini is set to show his first 2009 Fall collection for the label in March.
Marco Zanini, the head designer of women's wear, ready-to-wear, and haute couture at Versace, is joining American brand Halston as creative director, effective after the Spring 2008 Versace show in September. Bonnie Takhar, Halston's CEO,
told WWD they were looking for someone who could "pay homage to the heritage of Halston and also bring it into the modern day, with the strength being in... eveningwear and dresses."
