After a prolonged search for a new designer, Lanvin has finally selected Peter Copping as its new artistic director. The British designer, who gained extensive experience at other luxury houses like Oscar de la Renta and Nina Ricci, will be starting the role in September overseeing both womenswear and menswear. He is also expected to produce the brand's Pre-Fall 2025 collection.
Through Copping, Lanvin will achieve the "singular perspective and technical expertise of a modern couturier" the brand is looking for as it embarks on a much-needed renaissance. The announcement comes five years after Bruno Sialelli parted ways with the brand, which prompted the reconstructing of its creative organization, which even included tapping rapper Future for a collaboration. Ultimately, Copping will be a part of Lanvin's brand identity that reflects "contemporary culture by a sensibility of radical chic and French sophistication."
