Where is my 20 years? The youngest creative directors of fashion houses

Exactly 89 years ago, on August 1, 1936, one of the largest designers of Yves Saint Loran was born. It was called Haute Couture Windoderkind and the genius of his time. “Gabriel Chanel gave women freedom for women. Yves Saint Lar gave them strength, Pier Saint Laurent’s friend Pierre Berget said. And he was absolutely right. The IV easily changed the rules of the game, organized a revolution, flirted with art, and applied the most complex concepts. He can also boast of the president of Christian Dior Moda House at the age of 21. Yes, immediately after Dior’s sudden death, the company decided to transfer the reins of the board of directors to the young designer. He worked there for only two years and created six collections, but he still entered his name in the history of Christian Dior. And today, the fashion department Peopletalk offers to remember other young creative directors of fashion houses.

Olivier Rusten

Age: 25 years

Brand: BALMINE

French designer Olivier Rusten joined the Balmain team in 2009 and worked under the leadership of Christophe Descarnen for two years. And after leaving in 2011, he took the position of the creative director. He was only 25 years old. In the meantime, everyone did not perceive Olivier Rusten’s purpose positively. For example, many employees left the fashion house, thinking that the designer was very young for such a serious position. Nevertheless, Rusten is still challenging the French brand.

Stefano Gallichi

Age: 26 years

Brand: Ann Demelemester

In June 2023, the position of Creator Director Ann Demeulemeester was taken by Stefano Gallichi, a 26 -year -old Stefano Gallichi, who has been working as a male line in the brand for three years. Meanwhile, this is not the first place for Gallichi’s work. Before Ann Demeulemester, he worked as an assistant to Heider Ackerman.

Stella McCartney

Age: 26 years

Brand: Chloé

Stella McCartney – Nepo Bebek Fashion World. Meanwhile, at the beginning of his career, his achievements were fully attributed to the influence of his surname. In 1991, he entered Stella Central Saint Martins and created a graduation collection presented on the podium of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss in 1995. Not bad, I agree? Already in March 1996 (26 years old), McCartney replaced Karl Lagerfeld and became the creative director of Chloé. Meanwhile, Moda Kaiser had doubted the arrival point, saying that the company made a mistake and preferred a loud name that has not yet managed to establish itself.

Harris Reed

Age: 26 years

Brand: Nina Ricci

He is another graduate of Central Saint Martins, a 26 -year -old creator. In 2022, Harris Reid led the Nina Ricci brand (just two years after the end of the Central Art and Design College). True, until then, he already had his own brand and was shot in his belongings for Harry Stiles Vogue and went to the red carpet Iman.

Alexander Makkuin

Age: 27 years

Brand: Givenchy

In 1996, Alexander McKuin received the proposal to preside the French fashion house Givenchy. True, cooperation has not been determined from the first day. For example, during an interview, he asked journalist Maccuin that he asked the question that Yuber de Zhivanshi had judged the most from his faces: “What talent?” Yes, and he appreciated his first collection with a word in his “G” letter. However, this hated position and life in Paris helped the British fashion scenes to make money for their own brand.
