Lydia Maurer Named Artistic Director at Paco Rabanne
Just a month after designer Manish Arora announced his departure from Paco Rabanne, the iconic '60s brand has found his replacement in Yves Saint Laurent and Givenchy alum Lydia Maurer.
The transition should be a relatively smooth one: Maurer has held the position as director of the Paco Rabanne Studio since November 2011.
“It is a great honor to be taking on the artistic direction of such an emblematic house at the heart of Parisian creation,” said Maurer in a statement. “Monsieur Rabanne created his clothing as a means of expressing the singularity of each woman. He invented a timeless, unique and sensual style inspired by art and architecture. This is the ongoing creative spirit that I wish to convey in my work for the House.”
