Charles de Vilmorin presents ready-to-wear collection

After his time at the fashion house Rochas, Charles de Vilmorin is now also focusing on a ready-to-wear collection for his own label.

The French designer, who has so far only shown couture collections with the label of the same name, will present his own ready-to-wear collection for AW24, reports the trade magazine WWD. This is set to be presented at the Sphere showroom during Paris Fashion Week, which starts at the end of the month.

The new collection will consist of 25 pieces. These include dresses, denim shorts, shirts, a trench coat, bomber jackets and a handful of printed scarves inspired by a poem by French writer George Sand. Prices for the collection range from 500 euros for a printed cotton shirt to around 2,000 euros for a trench coat.

The 26-year-old designer has an impressive resume. In April 2020, he graduated from L’Institut Français de la Mode. He immediately made a name for himself as a successful couture designer. In 2021 he was a finalist for the LVMH Prize for Young Designers. Shortly afterwards he was appointed creative director by Rochas. He left the French fashion house in April 2023. In the same year he became a guest designer at the French luxury department store Galeries Lafayette.
