Major fashion news continues to drop as we soar through the year 2024. Already, we’ve had Alessandro Michele replace Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valenitno, Veronica Leoni was instated as creative director of Calvin Klein Collection and Virginie Viard made an abrupt exit from Chanel.
As the Fall 2024 season of Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week draws to a close, Peter Copping is announced as Lanvin creative director. The historic 135-year-old French fashion house founded by Jeanne Lanvin in 1889 ultimately ends it year-long search for a creative leader upon the appointment. Copping began his career at Sonia Rykiel, spent over a decade at Louis Vuitton under Marc Jacobs before becoming creative director of Nina Ricci and later, Oscar de la Renta. Since 2021, Copping has served as the head of couture at Balenciaga. “I am extremely honored 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,” said Copping via the official statement.
Copping is set to start in September, with the Pre-Fall 2025 collection set to be his first.
