Filippo Ricci is the Creative Director of STEFANO RICCI S.p.A., the family business founded by his father Stefano and his mother Claudia. He oversees the brand image, events, communications and marketing.
After graduating in Business Administration at the University of Florence (2007), he gained work experience in one of the leading department stores in the United States, taking an interest in communication and marketing, as well as product development. At the end of that year he entered the family group dealing with research and development, design, and new collections in close collaboration with his father.
From the outset, his work has been focused on the evolution of the brand, with the transition from the total menswear look to a lifestyle concept. He created the STEFANO RICCI HOME Collection and the Bespoke Interiors division. He developed the image of the group, conceiving and establishing fashion catalogues, such as those that are tributes to the arts. He began production of the branded videos for the collections, established a communications office with an international network and structured the marketing department. The most representative brand events were carried out under his direction, from the memorable fashion show in the Uffizi Gallery (2012) to the Ponte Vecchio, Lights and Emotions (2014), in addition to presentations of the collections in Moscow and Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
In 2007 he founded The Club Firenze, a charitable and cultural non-profit association that he presides over today. Born in 1983, from 2010 to 2012 he was vice-president for the group Giovani imprenditori di Confindustria Firenze.
Since 2010 he has been the CO-CEO of the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, a historical silk manufacturer operating continuously since 1786, a point of reference for international architects and interior designers, acquired in 2010 by the STEFANO RICCI Group.
