About

Michele Cirillo

Senior menswear designer, based in Milan, with around 15 years in the industry.

Michele has led seasonal collections of around 100 styles per brand, from concept and material research to final samples, coordinating a designer and a graphic designer and presenting collections to sales teams, owners and licensors. He has been head designer for collections of Iceberg, Golden Goose, Cesare Paciotti, Dan John and Suns Kidswear, and has contributed to Suns Menswear.

Before that he spent five and a half years at Armani Exchange in Milan as Senior Menswear & Knitwear Designer, leading men's knitwear from yarn selection to fittings and final samples. In his last two years there he worked alongside the Creative Director on the complete menswear collection.

Today he brings the same method to brands, manufacturers and design studios that need senior design work without building an in-house team.
