British fashion designer Louise Trotter has been appointed as Creative Director of French fashion house Carven, and will present her debut collection at Paris Fashion Week in September 2023.

Trotter was previously Creative Director of Lacoste, and commented 'I feel honoured to write a new chapter for Carven: a youthful French house that to me embodies a spirit of freedom, joy and a confident femininity. I look forward to respecting Madame Carven’s legacy by making clothes with a new simplicity that are both purposeful and beautiful, whilst being kind to our people and our environment'.
