The fashion musical chairs, exits, debuts, and new creative director announcements may never end, but that’s okay, because at least we can talk about it on Fashion Bulletin. This week it was announced that Nicolas Di Felice is leaving Courrèges after a five year stint at the French house. The move not only leaves a space open at Courrèges (Dario Vitale, tap in please!!), which will reportedly be announced next week, but spurs rumors that Di Felice is up for the Alaïa job in the wake of Pieter Mullier’s exit for Versace.
Di Felice’s swan song for the brand took place during Paris fashion week this past Fall/Winter 2026 season, where the show was dedicated to “24 hours in the life of a Courrèges woman.” It was there that De Felice celebrated five years at the house, where he quickly became beloved for his sleek tailoring and body-focused party dresses.
“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the [Artemis] group and especially to François Pinault and François-Henri Pinault for their trust,” Di Felice said in a statement that cited his exit to “focus on personal projects.”
Di Felice’s space-age designs felt apt for a house like Courrèges, whose codes have always carried a sci-fi edge. Learning from Nicolas Ghesquière, where he worked as a designer at both Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton, and Raf Simons at Christian Dior. Next week, we will be able to chat through his successor at the house.
Christopher Kane Named Creative Director At Mulberry
Mulberry
Brits, rejoice! Christopher Kane is making a triumphant return to fashion at the helm of beloved English brand Mulberry. The designer, who regrettably closed his eponymous brand in 2023, left somewhat of a hole in the British fashion community (and the world) in his absence, but now that hole is being filled up with Mulberry bags and whatever else he has in store for the heritage brand.
Reportedly, Kane is working on a collection that will debut during London fashion week in September of this year, marking not only his return to the runway, but Mulberry’s return to both ready-to-wear and the runway. The brand hosted its last runway show almost a decade ago in 2017.
Kane, while known for unexpected silhouettes that offer a great deal of levity, has long proven his ability to ground his own collections in everyday wear, which is a pillar of the Mulberry brand. Shearlings, sweaters, good coats— Kane’s oeuvre proves that he can do it all in spades. We may even get the brand resurgence Mulberry has so desperately needed!
eBay Launches “The NYC Edit”
eBay
On Wednesday night in Noho, I descended the stairs of Jean’s at 6:30pm (unheard of) to celebrate the launch of eBay’s NYC Edit, an editorial guide highlighting what style insiders in New York are buying and selling on eBay. As the IYKYK destination for shopping rare archival pieces online, eBay brought together 10 of the cities tastemakers—Dara Allen, Emilia Petrarca, and Owen Thiele, to name a few— to curate a guide of what they are both shopping and selling on eBay, with an IRL clothes swap at the event to trade something old for something new (to you).
