Guillaume Henry who was the artistic director of Carven, has left the label and will take up a new role as creative director of Nina Ricci following Peter Copping's departure.
Henry, is widely credited with turning round the fortune of French house Carven, which is now a go-to label for those looking for more contemporary luxury designs.
Ralph Toledano, president of Puig Fashion Division, the company which owns Nina Ricci commented on the appointment:
"We are welcoming Guillaume Henry at Nina Ricci with tremendous delight and great ambitions for the brand. In addition to being an outstanding talent, Guillaume has the characteristics of a major designer: artistic vision, intuition, intelligence, charisma, curiosity, and a remarkable ability to attract and gather the very best."
Henry's debut collection for Nina Ricci will be the autumn/winter 2015 presentation which will take place in February next year.
Copping is rumored to be in talks to take on a new position at Oscar de la Renta alongside the 82 year-old designer.
