Courrèges
Courrèges is the Paris fashion house founded in 1961 by André and Coqueline Courrèges. Its radical, future-facing vocabulary of geometric cuts, white boots, miniskirts, trousers and new materials helped reshape 1960s fashion around movement and optimism. Artemis acquired the house in 2018 and has overseen its contemporary revival. Nicolas Di Felice led creative direction from 2020 before Drew Henry was appointed Artistic Director in 2026; Marie Leblanc has been Chief Executive Officer since 2024. The page keeps the founders’ historical authorship, the modern creative transition and Artemis ownership distinct. It does not attribute group-level results to Courrèges unless a disclosure specifically identifies the house.
