After successful experiences at Guess and VF Corporation for Wrangler and Lee, Rino Castiglione announces his role in the reboot of Gas Jeans, now renamed Gas Milano 1984.
Founding partner and CEO of Alpha Square Invest, a Swiss investment holding headed by Paolo Agazzone, Rino Castiglione joins the board of Gas Milano 1984 together with Andrew Bordin, Andrea Citterio and other investors.
With Castiglione, the Swiss holding enters the fashion sector.
Further brand acquisitions will be announced in the near future.
The entrepreneurial pool will take care of the relaunch of Gas Milano, providing economic resources and a strong managerial team. The denim brand will be driven into a future of sustainable growth, leveraging on Alpha Square’s know-how.
‘I worked to create a purpose-driven investment fund that considers economic performances on a par with sustainable, social and environmental impact. We invest on a broad concept of company’s well-being, that means a healthy and respectful finance,’ said Castiglione, describing his contribution to the creation of the Swiss fund.
In the coming months, the manager will define a strategic acquisition program for the investment fund in technology, design and fashion sectors, as well as finalize the industrial plan for the relaunch of Gas Milano 1984. The challenge is to bring the brand that made the history of denim in Europe back to a modern, ethical and international model of competitiveness in just a few years.
