Kering’s holding company, Artemis, has made a significant move in the fashion world by acquiring Courrèges, a renowned French fashion house with a rich history. This acquisition marks a turning point for Courrèges, known for its avant-garde and futuristic designs that have captured the imagination of fashion lovers for decades. Founded in the 1960s and 70s by André Courrèges and Coqueline, the brand has become synonymous with innovation and cutting-edge style.
After facing challenges in recent years, including restructuring and leadership changes, Courrèges is poised for a fresh start under the ownership of Artemis. The appointment of Christina Ahlers as CEO and Yolanda Zobel as creative director brings a new dynamic to the brand, with Zobel’s debut collection set to make waves at Paris Fashion Week in September. With experience at top fashion houses and a passion for women’s ready-to-wear, Zobel is expected to bring a modern twist to Courrèges’ signature aesthetic.
Fashion enthusiasts are excited to see how Zobel will reinterpret Courrèges’ iconic designs, blending her unique vision with the brand’s heritage. The collaboration between Artemis and Courrèges is a symbol of hope for the brand’s loyal fans, who are eager to witness the revival of this beloved fashion house. The upcoming unveiling of the Spring/Summer 2019 collection at Paris Fashion Week promises to be a highlight, as the fashion world eagerly anticipates the next chapter in Courrèges’ story under new leadership.
