Pal Zileri has tapped its new artistic director from Armani. The Italian brand, which belongs to the Forall group (in turn owned by the Qatari Mayhoola Group), had announced in early June that Mauro Ravizza Krieger would be leaving the post he has held for the menswear brand since 2014.

Today Pal Zileri announced that Rocco Iannone would be in charge of the label's design, effective 3 July. The 33-year-old designer, a graduate of Istituto Marangoni, has spent the last ten years working for Giorgio Armani, most recently as a senior designer for the men's line. At the Forall-owned brand, he will be in charge of the main line and the coordination of special projects.

The fall-winter 2018-19 collection will be the first to show his signature, to be presented next January in Milan. Pal Zileri has enjoyed a year of renewal, following the arrival of Giovanni Mannucci as general manager in October, who has made quite some changes in the house during his tenure.
