The fashion shakeups continue! After almost two years with the brand,
Peter Copping has exited his post as the Creative Director at Oscar de la Renta:
Here’s Copping’s statement on his departure: “After almost two
years at Oscar de la Renta, personal circumstances require me to return
to Europe. I have loved my time in New York where I hope to return at
some point in the future.”
Copping assumed the coveted and momentous role after Oscar de la
Renta’s death in October of 2014. Based on a statement from Alex Bolen
who is ODLR’s CEO, there doesn’t seem to be any bad blood between the
company and the former Creative Director. “We have always been in the business of creating clothes and two of our greatest assets are our design studio and atelier,” said Bolen. He continued, “Our
team will continue to work on next season’s collection with a keen
focus on the level of sophistication and craftsmanship that are the
hallmarks of our house. We wish Peter well in his future endeavors.”
It looks as if they aren’t in a rush to appoint Copping’s successor.
So there’s no telling who will fill the position next and whether or not
Copping will move to another brand. Stay tuned.
Thoughts on the news? Who would you like to see at ODLR next?
