Earlier this month, the rumor mill was abuzz about  a potential Oscar de la Renta successorWWD all but confirmed Nina Ricci creative director Peter Copping was signing a deal with the storied house—but would he stay at Ricci, too, helming both labels? With a contract that allegedly locked him in until 2016, it seemed like a possibility. But today, WWD reports that Guillaume Henry is likely to close out his five-year stint at Carven and replace Copping.

Henry revived the Carven brand with a youthful, feminine spirit, which translated to strong sales around the globe. If the rumors are true, the musical chairs are far from over; we’re curious to see who will be up next at Carven. The brand needs to act fast to keep up with its serious expansion plans—they just launched a handbag range and will open 10 stores this year.
