Designer Jean-Olivier Letard has been given the mission of revamping the style of the menswear collections at IKKS.
 

The new creative director joined the label last autumn, and his hand will be felt for the first time in the Autumn/Winter 16/17 collection. His contribution will therefore soon be on display in-store.

Letard previously spent six years in charge of collections at Chevignon, from 2004 to 2010, then he worked for two years at Guess. Since 2012, he put his creative streak at the service of several European and US fashion labels, working freelance.

His arrival is part of IKKS's new approach, a year after LBO France became a shareholder. The mixed fashion label is modifying its collection outlook, and had already changed its womenswear creative director for the Spring/Summer 2016 season, appointing Clémentine Turgis.
