The Belgian designer is to replace the outgoing Haider Ackermann as the brand’s new artistic director. Berluti’s upcoming AW’19 menswear collection in January (2019), at Milan Fashion Week, will be the designer’s first.
Berluti has appointed Kris Van Assche as its new artistic director, succeeding Haider Ackermann, who announced that he is leaving the French fashion house on March 30. The Belgian designer, who recently exited Dior Homme after 11 years at the creative helm, will present his first collection for Berluti in January 2019 as head of shoes, leather goods, ready-to-wear and accessories collections.

Van Assche said on his own Instagram account: “I have always wanted to build bridges between the savoir-faire, the heritage of a house and my clear-cut contemporary vision. Antoine Arnault spoke to me of his ambitions for Berluti and it is with great pleasure that I accept this new challenge which fits perfectly with my own will and vision.”
