A few months after leaving the Italian fashion house Etro, Marco De Vincenzo was appointed head of the leather goods division of the French fashion house Givenchy. He will work under the creative direction of Sarah Burton, the brand’s creative director, the company said in an email to FashionUnited.
In his new role at the LVMH-owned fashion house, the Italian designer will be responsible for developing Givenchy’s leather goods category. He will work closely with the creative director to strengthen “one of the brand’s most commercially important segments,” the company told trade magazine Business of Fashion.
The brand highlights Marco De Vincenzo’s “unique vision and expertise”. The designer is a graduate of the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome. In 2000 he began a long collaboration with the Italian brand Fendi, for which he was responsible for the accessories lines.
In 2009 he also received first prize in the young talent competition ‘Who is on Next?’, organized by Altaroma in collaboration with Vogue Italia.
He was previously creative director at Etro. “Marco De Vincenzo led the creative direction of the brand, developing collections that interpreted and enhanced Etro’s identity codes,” said the statement announcing his departure in March 2026. “He accompanied the company in an important period of growth and stylistic renewal.”
Marco De Vincenzo’s appointment comes at a time of restructuring for the French brand. Last January, Amandine Ohayon took over the reins of Givenchy. The ESSEC graduate worked for the L’Oréal Group for almost two decades. This is a strategic advantage for a house in which perfumes and make-up are just as important growth drivers as ready-to-wear fashion.
