Robert Clergerie appoints new creative director
Roland Mouret has been made the creative director of French footwear label Robert Clergerie in an attempt to raise its fashion profile.
“To be the creative director of Robert Clergerie is an incredible opportunity,” said Mr Mouret. “For so many people it’s such an important brand and held in the highest affection, as is Robert Clergerie himself. This is a chance for me to work with a master on the art and craft of shoe design and to be part of the special relationship that women have with their shoes.”
The company’s founder is equally pleased with Mr Mouret’s appointment. “I’m delighted to see Roland Mouret at the head of the creation of the Maison that I created,” said Robert Clergerie. “It is a great symbol to see such perspectives, with a talent who already knows and loves our company.”
