Fashion career profile
Ludovic de Saint Sernin
Ludovic de Saint Sernin is a French fashion designer born in Brussels and based in Paris. He studied at École Duperré and founded his namesake label in 2017, developing a body-conscious, gender-fluid vocabulary shaped by leatherwork, transparency and intimate personal references. The label was a finalist for the 2018 ANDAM Fashion Award and was nominated for the LVMH Prize. In December 2022, Ann Demeulemeester appointed him creative director; he presented one collection for the Belgian house before leaving in 2023. He later worked with Jean Paul Gaultier as a couture guest designer, a project separate from an ongoing house appointment. His own label remains the central professional affiliation in this profile. The record distinguishes the completed Ann Demeulemeester tenure and temporary couture collaboration from his continuing independent practice.
