Fashion career profile
Drew Henry
Drew Henry is a South African fashion designer and Artistic Director of Courrèges. He graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2014 and built his career in design studios rather than public-facing founder roles. His experience includes work at Céline during Phoebe Philo’s tenure, ready-to-wear design direction at JW Anderson, design leadership at Phoebe Philo’s label and senior design direction at Burberry under Daniel Lee. Courrèges appointed him Artistic Director in 2026, with the role effective from May; his first collection for the house is scheduled for September 2026. The appointment places him in charge of the house’s creative direction, while the separate chief executive role remains with Marie Leblanc. Publicly available sources do not reliably establish his birth year, so none is asserted here.
