Roland Mouret Named Creative Director at Robert Clergerie
French designer Roland Mouret– he of the infamous Galaxy dress– was just named creative director of footwear and accessories brand Robert Clergerie. The the 33-year-old shoe label has hired Mouret as part of its new development strategy–they want to bring a more contemporary feeling to the label.
“I’m delighted to see Roland Mouret at the head…of the Maison that I created,” said brand founder and designer Robert Clergie in a statement.
Despite Mouret’s lack of shoe design experience, his appointment does make some sort of sense, especially considering his avid fan base.
