Carven has just named Serge Ruffieux its new creative director. The right man in the right place at the right time? Sounds like.
Following the departure of design duo Alexis Martial and Adrien Caillaudaud in October last year, Carven has just appointed Serge Ruffieux it’s new creative director.
Ruffieux spent nearly 10 years working for Dior, most recently as head designer of the women’s ready-to-wear collections. Following the exit of Raf Simons he also took the helm as a co-artistic director. Now the designer will join Carven on February 1.
The house of Carven was founded in 1945 by Madame Carven, the French couturier who traveled the world with her collections and brought back a trove of exotic influences. In a statement, Ruffieux noted he feels “a real affinity for Madame Carven and her vision of fashion.” Sounds like the right man in the right place at the right time. Ruffieux will show his first collection for the fashion house during Paris Fashion Week in October.
