Fashion career profile

Loris Messina

Loris Messina is an Italian fashion entrepreneur and designer who co-founded SUNNEI with Simone Rizzo in Milan in 2014. The pair built the label without a conventional fashion-house hierarchy, using direct retail, digital communication, music and deliberately participatory runway formats to create a recognisable community around the clothes. Messina's contribution spans brand direction, product and presentation and is stored alongside Rizzo's equal co-founding role. Later investors and ownership arrangements are kept separate from that creative origin, and the profile does not infer continuing control or a current title when the company has not formally published one.
