Lanvin, the oldest continually operating couture house in France, is pleased to announce the appointment of
@PeterCopping as Artistic Director. Founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, and headquartered in Paris, the maison will welcome Copping as the creative lead for womenswear and menswear collections effective 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 and subsequently as Head of VIP and Special Projects.
« 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 »,
