Chanel's creative director Virginie Viard to leave brand

Hindustan Times  

June 5 - Chanel artistic director Virginie Viard is leaving the label, the luxury brand said on Thursday, kicking off a flurry of speculation over who will replace her in one of the fashion industry's highest profile positions. Chanel's creative director Virginie Viard to leave brand "A new chapter is opening for Chanel Mode," Chanel said in a statement, confirming the change, which was first reported on fashion news website Business of Fashion. Chanel teams will ensure the "continuity" of collections in the interim period, and the brand will host its fall-winter haute couture show 2024/2025 on June 25 in Paris, it said. Chanel Chief Executive Leena Nair had brushed off talk of a designer change last month, noting that Viard had overseen strong growth in ready-to-wear fashion sales, which have surged two-and-a-half-times since 2018.
