Fashion career profile
Pieter Mulier
Pieter Mulier is a Belgian fashion designer trained in architecture at Institut Saint-Luc in Brussels. He entered fashion through Raf Simons’s design studio and later held design leadership positions at Jil Sander, Dior and Calvin Klein. Mulier became Creative Director of Alaïa in 2021, presenting his first collection in July that year and reintroducing the house through a contemporary reading of its founder’s work. Prada Group appointed him Chief Creative Officer of Versace on 5 February 2026, effective 1 July, ending his Alaïa tenure. His profile distinguishes his current Versace mandate from his completed Alaïa leadership and records earlier design roles as separate career chapters rather than folding them into a generalized association with Simons. He was recruited by Simons into menswear design, directed accessories at Jil Sander and later oversaw couture, ready-to-wear and women’s accessories at Dior.
