Guillaume Henry | Creation & Re-creation

Who said legacy brands should only focus on the past ? Certainly not Guillaume Henry.

His career took him from one famous Maison to another, and each time he created and re-created the brands he worked on.

He worked at Givenchy and Paul Ka before becoming the artistic director of Carven at the age of 30. He revived the heritage house’s ready-to-wear and went onto Nina Ricci as creative director of the Maison. In 2018, he was named Artistic Director of another legendary house : Jean Patou, now Patou.

His career and inspirations can guide us through questions that go way beyond "just" clothing :

• How does one find freedom in legends ?
• Why is style much more important than fashion ?
• How important and political can joy be ?

The Rendez-vous de la Création are pleased to invite you to a conversation with Guillaume Henry. Ça, c'est chic !

Moderated by Alexandre Kouchner, journalist.

#RVdelaCreation. The Cycle of Master Classes "Les Rendez-Vous de la Création" was created in 2016 by the Master’s degree in Communication, Media and Creative Industries at the Sciences Po School of Management and Impact. It is an opportunity for great names in the world of Creation (photographers, directors, chefs, architects, musicians, designers, etc.) to come and share their journeys with students, as well as their vision of Creation and Innovation. 
It is also an opportunity to explore with them how creativity can be put at the service of economic, social, societal or environmental impact.
