Overview
- Courrèges announced Tuesday it is parting ways with artistic director Nicolas Di Felice after five years, saying he is leaving to focus on personal projects.
- The brand said a successor will be revealed next week.
- Di Felice’s final Paris runway earlier this month marked his fifth anniversary and distilled his Courrèges codes like vinyl pieces, ribbed knits, and sleek club-inspired looks.
- Under François Pinault’s Artémis ownership, the house praised his tenure as a renaissance, highlighting fragrance relaunches, new handbags, Club Courrèges events, and retail and pricing shifts under CEO Marie Leblanc.
- The Belgian designer’s next role has not been disclosed, with Vogue noting likely speculation around open posts such as Alaïa as WWD reports no plans confirmed.
