Kering and Balenciaga are pleased to announce the appointment of Pierpaolo Piccioli as Creative Director of Balenciaga, effective July 10. An accomplished and respected designer, and master of Haute Couture, Pierpaolo will bring his unique creative vision and extensive experience to Balenciaga, building on the strengths and success achieved by the brand over the past decade under Demna’s creative direction, and in continuity with the legacy of Cristóbal Balenciaga. Francesca Bellettini, Kering Deputy CEO: “I couldn’t be happier to welcome Pierpaolo to the Group. He is one of the most talented and celebrated designers of today. His mastery of Couture, his creative voice, and his passion for savoir-faire made him the ideal choice. I would also like to sincerely thank Demna for the bold, distinctive vision he brought to Balenciaga over the past 10 years, shaping the House’s identity in the contemporary era. I am convinced that Pierpaolo and Gianfranco will lead Balenciaga perfectly through this important new chapter of its remarkable history” Gianfranco Gianangeli, Balenciaga CEO: “I’m excited to begin this era at Balenciaga with Pierpaolo. His creative vision will thrive, he will perfectly interpret our legacy, building on the House’s bold creativity, rich heritage and strong culture. With the expertise of our teams and the dynamic creative energy that has historically driven Balenciaga, I look forward to what we will build together” Pierpaolo Piccioli: “In all its phases, while constantly evolving and changing, Balenciaga has never lost track of the House’s aesthetic values. What I am receiving is a brand full of possibilities that is incredibly fascinating. I must first and foremost thank Demna; I’ve always admired his vision. I couldn’t ask for a better passing of the torch. This gives me the chance to shape a new version of the Maison, adding another chapter with a new story. I am grateful for the trust that François-Henri, Francesca and Gianfranco are giving me. We were effortlessly on the same page from the start, and that is the best way to begin something new”
