Leonard without creative director Georg Lux

Georg Lux has been Leonard’s creative director since January 2021. Now “he has decided to give up his position"the Parisian luxury fashion house said in a press release on Monday. This announcement marks the end of a nearly five-year era. During this time, the designer helped evolve the Parisian label’s aesthetic while preserving its legacy.

His innovative approach and expertise enabled the development of collections that combined the house’s historical DNA with a contemporary expression. The focus was on preserving the basic codes of the house. This particularly includes the characteristic use of prints and colors that have been modernized for the current luxury market.

Georg Lux explains in a press release: “These years at Leonard will remain a valuable chapter in my creative career. Having the privilege of drawing from the house’s heritage, entering into dialogue with its history and contributing my personal artistic vision was an extraordinary experience. I would like to thank all members of this wonderful house for their work and support."

Yuichi Nishi, President of Leonard Paris, says: “Georg brilliantly embodied the spirit of our house. He combined respect for our fundamental codes with creative courage. His artistic sensitivity and deep understanding of the Leonard universe have produced collections of remarkable elegance."

Leonard Paris was acquired by its long-time Japanese partner Sankyo Seiko in 2022. The company “continues its development with confidence and enthusiasm". It will soon announce the contours of its new artistic direction.
