The designer is credited with leading a creative renaissance at the French house
Nicolas Di Felice is stepping down as artistic director of Courrèges after five years, marking the end of a tenure widely credited with revitalizing the French fashion house.
In a statement, Di Felice expressed gratitude to the company and its leadership. “I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the group and especially to François Pinault and François-Henri Pinault for their trust. I also want to truly thank all the teams and my friends, whose talent and dedication made this human and creative journey so meaningful,” he said.
Since joining Courrèges, Di Felice has been instrumental in reshaping the brand’s identity, reinterpreting its heritage codes through a contemporary lens and reconnecting it with a younger generation. His work helped reposition the house as a relevant and distinct voice within the modern fashion landscape, earning critical recognition and renewed industry attention.
Courrèges credited Di Felice with bringing “a new energy” to the house, noting that his direction sparked a broader creative and commercial renaissance. Over the course of his tenure, the designer established a clear dialogue between the brand’s legacy and contemporary culture.
The company said it is “grateful for his unique contribution” and extended its support for his future projects. A new artistic director will be announced next week, signaling the beginning of the next chapter for the house.
