Another change at Pal Zileri. The menswear label belonging to Italian fashion group Forall has issued a press release announcing the end of its collaboration with Creative Director Mauro Ravizza Krieger. Pal Zileri has thanked Ravizza Krieger "for the key role he played in fashioning a new aesthetic and in repositioning the brand since he joined Pal Zileri in July 2014."

Ravizza Krieger will pursue "new professional challenges," writes Pal Zileri, without providing any further details. His successor will be appointed shortly.

Designer-tailor Mauro Ravizza Krieger, 51, was called to lead Pal Zileri three years ago, and worked to rebuild the brand image of manufacturer Forall Confezioni's leading label, owned since April 2014 by the Mayhoola Group, an investment fund belonging to the Qatari royal family.

Ravizza Krieger's last collections, for the LAB Pal Zileri young line and the main collection, will be presented respectively from 13th-16th June at Florence's Pitti Uomo show and on 18th June in Milan.

The Creative Director's departure follows in the wake of the Forall management team’s overhaul which began last October with the appointment of Giovanni Mannucci as CEO, followed recently by the arrivals of other new executives.
