Brooke Bobb is the fashion news director at Harper’s Bazaar, working across print and digital platforms. Previously, she was a senior content editor at Amazon Fashion, and worked at Vogue Runway as senior fashion news writer.
This morning, Blumarine announced the appointment of designer Walter Chiapponi as creative director, replacing Nicola Brognano, who left the position in October. The news comes just two months after Chiapponi’s departure from Tod’s, where he helmed both the men’s and women’s collections and was tasked with bringing a more contemporary but still elegant edge to the classically minded luxury fashion house.
Marco Marchi, director of Eccellenze Italiane, the holding company that owns Blumarine, said in a statement that he is “confident that Walter Chiapponi, with this internationally recognized talent and his fine stylistic sensibility, will bring new energy to Blumarine while honoring the brand’s extraordinary heritage.”Chiapponi, too, said he is motivated by the possibilities of evolving the storied, playful brand.
