Francesco Risso opens new creative factory in Milan after Marni
Francesco Risso has launched the Bureau of Imagination, a creative facility located in a former cheese factory in Milan.
New location near city canals
The building sits within the Navigli district, an area known for its mix of studios and galleries. Risso describes the site as a manufacturing house for objects that operates independently from his other roles.
Previous fashion career background
Risso spent ten years working at Prada before leading Marni for nearly a decade. He has recently accepted the creative direction position for GU, which is a sister brand to Uniqlo.
Manifesto published with launch
The opening includes a manifesto titled Genesis that details his personal history and philosophy. The text explains how he learned to walk barefoot on wood and balance on parallel bars.
