Barnabé Hardy, Creative Director of Menswear for Carven, will step down at the end of the month, marking the end of a mutually inspiring partnership that began in January 2015.
Hardy’s creative contribution was instrumental to the success of Carven. The House, however, will put the men’s line on hold and focus on the women’s collection. CEO of Carven, Sophie de Rougemont said: “Barnabe Hardy has been the soul of Carven’s men’s collection since 2015. It has been an exceedingly inspirational collaboration, and we wish him every success in his pursuit of new projects in the coming future.”
Hardy added: “I shall always have a deep affection for Carven and am very grateful to the company for having given me this opportunity to design for a legendary French fashion house.”
