Carven 

BRAND PLATFORM & GLOBAL DIGITAL COMMUNICATION — 2014 – 2016

CLIENT.     CARVEN

ROLE.     CREATIVE DIRECTOR

CONTEXT.

Carven was in the middle of a rebirth. Under the creative direction of Guillaume Henry, the house had found a new voice — “street couture”, a Nouvelle Vague-inspired elegance that was fresh, intelligent, anti-snob, spontaneous. The Carven woman directs her own life; the Carven man has a poetically gauche charm. The clothes were right. The digital expression didn’t exist yet.

APPROACH.

I led the creative direction across the full scope of Carven’s digital transformation. Starting from scratch: building the brand platform that would translate Guillaume Henry’s vision into a digital language; redesigning carven.com as the house’s first e-commerce site — conceived less as a shop and more as a magazine you flip through; defining the social media strategy, editorial charter and content calendar; and producing digital capsules for each precollection and seasonal campaign. Everything was done in close collaboration with Henry and his studio team — making sure the screen felt as effortless as the clothes.
