NEW
YORK, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lanvin Group
(NYSE: LANV, the "Group"), a global luxury fashion group, announced
today that Lanvin, Lanvin Group's flagship brand and the oldest
continually operating couture house in France, has appointed Peter Copping as Artistic Director. He will
take the role as the creative lead for womenswear and menswear
collections, starting from September
2024.
A British national and graduate of Central Saint Martins and the
Royal College of Art in London,
Peter Copping began his career at
Sonia Rykiel and then spent over a decade at Louis Vuitton with
Marc Jacobs as head of womenswear.
He was subsequently named Creative Director of Nina Ricci in Paris and Oscar de la
Renta in New York, where
Mr. de la Renta, who had himself been a designer at Lanvin under
Antonio Castillo, designated Copping
his successor. Most recently, Copping served as Head of
Couture at Balenciaga where he directed the ateliers for the
reintroduction of the couture collection.
Drawing on the breadth and depth of his wide-ranging experience
across categories and continents, Copping brings to Lanvin the
singular perspective and technical expertise of a modern couturier.
His mission aligns with the brand transformation initiated over the
past two years wherein Lanvin is reframed in contemporary culture
by a sensibility of radical chic and French sophistication.
Zhen Huang, Chairman of
Lanvin Group said, "With 135 years of heritage, Lanvin boasts an
exceptionally rich history and is one of the most celebrated names
in fashion worldwide. As Lanvin Group's flagship brand, Lanvin is
an integral part of our family. With the nomination of Peter Copping, we look forward to the Maison's
continued transformation and growth."
Eric Chan, CEO of Lanvin
Group, said, "Lanvin Group is delighted to welcome Peter Copping to Lanvin. I am certain that
Peter's outstanding talent and capacity to reinterpret the codes of
the Maison with curiosity and innovation make him the ideal
candidate to drive success for Lanvin. This new chapter for the
house fits perfectly with our commitment to meeting the evolving
needs and desires of our clients."
Peter Copping, Artistic
Director of Lanvin, said, "Jeanne
Lanvin was a visionary of her time whose interests and
passions extended far beyond fashion, as do my own. I am extremely
honoured to have been chosen as Artistic Director of Lanvin and to
be able, along with the atelier and teams, to write the next
chapter for this iconic House."
