The Alaïa fashion house, part of the Swiss luxury goods group Richemont, officially announced the departure of its creative director Pieter Mulier on Friday. This was reported by the industry magazine Women’s Wear Daily (WWD).
After five years of collaboration marked by stylistic renewal and significant commercial growth, the Belgian designer will present his final collection for the brand next March.
Since his appointment in 2021, Mulier has taken on the challenging task of succeeding founder Azzedine Alaïa. His creative work has been widely praised in the industry. His product range also proved to be extremely successful commercially – including the rhinestone-studded ballerina in 2024.
In its half-year report for September 30, 2025, the Richemont Group highlighted the “continued strength” of the House of Alaïa. Under Mulier’s leadership, the brand recorded sustained business development and consolidated its position in the ultra-exclusive luxury segment.
According to several media reports, including Women’s Wear Daily, Mulier is about to join Milan-based fashion house Versace and its parent company, the Prada Group.
