Designer Julien Dossena Leaves Rabanne After 13 Years
Puig said a successor will be named in due time after Dossena helped drive renewed global visibility and growth at the fashion house.
- On Wednesday, the Paris-based fashion house Rabanne announced that creative director Julien Dossena is stepping down after 13 years, with his successor to be named in due time.
- Joining in 2013, Dossena transformed Rabanne by modernizing the founder's 1960s Space Age aesthetic for contemporary audiences, making it a Paris Fashion Week fixture and celebrity dressing destination.
- The brand became Puig's first to surpass €1 billion in sales in 2023, while Dossena dressed celebrities including Sabrina Carpenter and Dua Lipa and collaborated with Jean Paul Gaultier and H&M.
- Dossena's exit follows a recent trend of leadership changes at European fashion houses; his final resort 2027 collection debuted earlier this month as Rabanne considers potential successors including designer Olivier Rousteing.
- Dossena credited mentor Nicolas Ghesquière, designer, for advice that lasting 15 years marks true success; Puig president Ana Trias praised him for bringing 'renewed energy and modernity' to the maison.
