Carven Designers Announce Departure

It’s been a big week for designer shake-ups

Earlier this week, Marni announced that its creative director Consuelo Castiglioni would be exiting the label, and just last week Peter Dundas announced his resignation from Roberto Cavalli. Now it has been confirmed that Alexis Martial and Adrien Caillaudaud are departing from their role as co-artistic directors at Carven. 

The pair has been at the helm of the cool Parisian brand’s womenswear since March 2015, after Guillaume Henry left his post. They had both previously worked at Givenchy where Martial focused on ready-to-wear, couture and knitwear and Caillauduad on accessories – making them a force to be reckoned with given their total combined skills. 

WWD reports that their decision to leave was “by mutual agreement” and that their last collection for the label would be spring/summer 2017. Carven released a statement confirming the news, adding that the appointment of a new artistic director would follow later.
