Rocco Iannone has stepped down from his role as creative director of Pal Zileri. The designer had been in charge of style at the Italian luxury menswear label, owned by Forall SpA, since July 2017. In a press release, Forall SpA stated that Iannone is leaving Pal Zileri to take on new professional challenges.

Forall SpA thanked Iannone “for the valuable contribution he made since joining the company. His work enabled [Pal Zileri] to rejuvenate and develop its heritage. We wish Rocco Iannone all the best for a rewarding professional future.”
 
Pal Zileri is led by CEO Marco Sanavia, formerly with Gucci and Bottega Veneta, and is owned by Forall SpA, in turn fully owned by Qatari investment fund Mayhoola for Investments. 

Pal Zileri recently opened stores in London and Paris, and is distributed via 34 monobrand stores in the world’s major cities and via 500 multibrand retailers worldwide.
