The creative director musical chairs never ends. On Tuesday, Nicolas Di Felice announced that he\u2019s bidding farewell to Courr\u00e8ges after serving as its artistic director for five years. Known for fusing \u201860s space-age designs with modern minimalism, the Belgian designer helped the Paris-based label find its footing again during his tenure. <\/p>\n

\u201cUnder his direction, the house experienced a true renaissance, acclaimed by the critics, and established itself as a distinctive voice in the contemporary fashion landscape. Nicolas reinterpreted its iconic codes and created a true dialogue with a new generation,\u201d an official statement from the house read. \u201cCourr\u00e8ges is grateful for his unique contribution and extends its best wishes for his future projects,\u201d the luxury label added.<\/p>\n

Joining Courr\u00e8ges at the height of the pandemic, Di Felice reimagined the brand through a rave- and club culture\u2013infused lens (the designer himself was known for hosting late-night parties). He introduced vinyl jackets and matching miniskirts adorned with the space-age AC logo, a nod to founder Andr\u00e9 Courr\u00e8ges \u2014 perhaps you\u2019ve seen the set on Dua Lipa, who has a longstanding relationship with the brand and Di Felice. Body-conscious cuts, innovative fabrics, and edgy takes on archival designs defined his tenure as well. Di Felice, meanwhile, debuted beloved accessories like the Hobo and Holy handbags.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to express my deepest gratitude to the [Artemis] group and especially to Fran\u00e7ois Pinault and Fran\u00e7ois-Henri Pinault for their trust,\u201d Di Felice shared in a statement, adding that he\u2019s leaving to \u201cfocus on personal projects.\u201d However, the rumor mill is already swirling, with speculation that Di Felice may be headed to Ala\u00efa, where he would succeed Pieter Mulier<\/a>, who has since taken the reins at Versace<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Prior to his stint at Courr\u00e8ges, Di Felice \u2014 a graduate of La Cambre in Brussels \u2014 collaborated closely with Nicolas Ghesqui\u00e8re at Louis Vuitton<\/a> and Balenciaga, as well as Raf Simons at Christian Dior, honing his craft behind the scenes at some of fashion\u2019s biggest houses. <\/p>\n

Apparently, Di Felice\u2019s successor will be announced next week \u2014 stay tuned. <\/p>\n
