The French fashion label Lanvin has announced the appointment of Peter Copping as artistic director. Copping will begin his new position in September 2024 and will be responsible for overseeing the creative direction of both the men’s and women’s collections.
“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,” he said.
Lanvin is trying to use Copping’s experience to absorb his technological know-how and apply these viewpoints to its ongoing, two-year-old brand overhaul.
Copping takes over for Bruno Sialelli, who left the company in the middle of 2023 as a result of a significant creative change that saw the company place a greater focus on the leather products industry.
Deputy CEO of Lanvin, Siddhartha Shukla, said, “Peter Copping’s arrival at Lanvin is an important milestone in the renaissance of one of the great French maisons. I am confident that with Peter’s vision and technical rigour and the continued perseverance of our teams globally, we will identify a new frontier in fashion and deliver beauty and results in equal measure.
