The cause of death is not known, but Moschino’s parent company Aeffe referred to “a sudden illness” and said that he died in Milan on Friday.

Hailing from Gucci, where he worked for nearly 20 years, Renne started working at Moschino on Nov. 1, and his first collection was to debut for fall 2024 in February during Milan Fashion Week, succeeding Jeremy Scott, who exited the brand last March after a 10-year tenure.

“Even though he was only with us for a very short time, Davide was able to immediately make himself loved and respected. Today we are left with the responsibility of carrying on what his imagination and creativity had only envisioned,” said Massimo Ferretti in a statement posted on Instagram.

At the time of his appointment, Renne said: “Franco Moschino had a nickname for his design studio la sala giochi, the playroom.

“This resonates deeply with me, Italian fashion especially, and the house of Moschino most of all I can achieve with its enormous power should be accomplished with a sense of play, of joy. A sense of discovery, and experimentation.”

His first steps in fashion were at Alessandro Dell’Acqua, whom Renne described as his “first teacher and mentor in fashion,” before moving on to Gucci.

Several influential figures in the fashion industry have taken to social media to pay their respects, with many leaving comments on Renne’s Instagram posts.

Harris Reed, the creative director of Nina Ricci, described Renne as “a true angel”, while model and singer Karen Elson wrote: “My heart breaks. Sweet Davide rest in peace.”

Renne’s mentor, Dell’Acqua, posted on Instagram: “Farewell Davide!! You will always be in my heart.”

Renne was born in Follonica, Tuscany in July 1977.

He studied at both the University of Florence and Polimoda fashion school, and began his career working with Italian fashion designer and mentor Alessandro Dell’Acqua, before heading to Gucci in 2004.

The Milan fashion scene was shaken Friday by the news that Davide Renne, newly named creative director of Moschino, has died of undisclosed causes at 46.

Here are some of the top-grossing and most-watched movies of all time, considering their box office earnings and cultural impact up to that point:

&nbsp;Harry Potter is a film about a young kid, Harry Potter, who attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the first time. He discovers that he is indeed a famous wizard and it is at this time that he begins his magic education.

Home Alone is a Christmas Comedy film produced in 1990 in which an 8-year-old kid tries to save his family from burglars when he accidentally leaves home alone after his family flies to Paris for their Christmas Holiday vacation. This is one of those feel-good movies in which the good triumphs over evil. In the end, the little kid outsmarts the burglars and they are arrested and taken to prison. All is well that ends well.

This is one of the most-watched movies in the world and one of the main reasons for this is that it stars none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Schwarzenegger is a darling to many with his fans amazed at his acting and fighting skills so much so that he was elected governor of California immediately after his retirement from active acting. In the film, he plays a robot T-800 that is tasked to protect civilization by protecting a young John Connor. He fights the bad guy T-1000 who intends to bring about a robot uprising.

Another alien movie makes it into the list of the top 10 most-watched movies in the world. The setting of this movie is the alien space world of Pandora. The natives of this planet are the Navi who may seem primitive but they are in fact highly evolved.

A hybrid between a human and a Navi leads to a creature called an Avatar. War emerges where the Avatars and the natives the Navi fight for survival of their world. It was realized in 2009 and it witnessed some of the largest crowds in its opening show.

Although not a <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://imusicquiz.com.ng/creditnaija/5-classic-finance-movies-worth-watching/">financial movie</a>, the Titanic is one of the most-watched movies of all time.

When race-based disparity is practiced people are targeted based on their color. A 12-year-old boy sold as a slave in 1941 and under extremely challenging situations is forced to work on plantations. The visuals are self-explanatory about how “low” humanity can go as one shudder to experience the extreme atrocities taking place with the young boy.

A remake of Disney's animated classic, the photorealistic version garnered significant attention and box office success.

The Force Awakens (2015) - Directed by J.J. Abrams, this instalment revived the "Star Wars" franchise and was a huge success both financially and critically.
