Jean Paul Gaultier has selected Courrèges designer Nicolas Di Felice as the house's next guest couturier. His one-off show will be in late June.
“I find Nicolas to be bold and creative from the beginning of his career,” Gaultier said, revealing the selection of Di Felice exclusively to WWD. “Choosing him aligns perfectly with the idea of seeing what a designer can bring to my style.”Di Felice will be the seventh guest couturier after Simone Rocha, Rabanne’s Julien Dossena, Haider Ackermann, Olivier Rousteing of Balmain, Glenn Martens of Y/Project and Diesel, and Sacai’s Chitose Abe.
Like all the guest couturiers before him, Di Felice lauded Gaultier as a pillar of French culture, and a fashion maverick figure who continues to inspire new generations. Di Felice joined Ghesquière’s team at Balenciaga in 2008 shortly after graduating from La Cambre, remaining at the brand for six years. After a brief stint at Dior under Raf Simons, he was reunited with Ghesquière at Louis Vuitton in 2015, where he remained until 2020, when he became artistic director of Courrèges.
