A Comprehensive List of French and Male Designers

The VOGUE.com article Carven’s Announcement Is the Latest in Fashion’s Game of Musical Chairs: The Next Generation of Paris Garçon Designers has inspired me to repurpose the list.

Other than the new design duo at Carven, there's a new herd of design darlings who are 1) male and 2) Prents. Leading the pack is 
1) Guillaume Henry (formerly: Carven; new employer: Nina Ricci) 


2) Julien Dossena at Paco Rabanne, 

prior to which he was at Balenciaga under the helm of a certain Nicolas and co-founder Atto post-Balenciaga with two fellow alums.

3) Simon Porte Jacquemus (of the eponymous Jacquemus label), who was a sales associate at Comme des Garçons.


and 4) Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant  of Coperni 


While Meyer is solely focused on the contemporary Parisian label, Vaillaint remains to be an assistant to the embroidery and embellishments director at Balenciaga.

I can see the talent in patternmaking in their clean, modernist wardrobe for their woman.

Salability will surely follow as the character in each of their works is clearly high on the agenda.
