Marco De Vincenzo

Marco De Vincenzo is an Italian fashion designer, born in Messina in 1978. After graduating in fashion design from IED Rome in 2000, he joined Fendi’s accessories studio and eventually became head of leather goods design. He launched his namesake label in 2009 after winning Vogue Italia’s Who Is On Next? competition; LVMH acquired a minority stake in the business in 2014, and the label was later placed on hold.

Etro appointed De Vincenzo creative director on 25 May 2022, with responsibility for women’s and men’s ready-to-wear and accessories from 1 June. The house and designer ended their collaboration by mutual agreement on 12 March 2026, after the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection. In May 2026, Givenchy appointed him head of leather goods design, working under artistic director Sarah Burton.

De Vincenzo’s practice begins with fabric development and the visual behaviour of a surface. Across his namesake collections and his work for Etro, he repeatedly used lurex, iridescence, pleating, engineered stripes, dense pattern and three-dimensional treatments to create colour shifts and optical movement. The factory and the possibilities offered by fabric are recurring starting points, making material research a consistent method across clothing and accessories.

At Etro he worked through an archive defined by print, paisley and textile accumulation, tightening, enlarging and recombining those elements within clear garment structures. His Supèrno project extended the same interest in transformation by re-cutting, re-proportioning and embellishing vintage clothing. Across these projects, surface, colour and construction alter perception while the underlying coat, dress, knit or bag remains legible.
