A.P.C. Names Ludivine Poiblanc as Artistic Director<\/strong>
\nA.P.C.<\/a> has appointed Ludivine Poiblanc<\/a> as artistic director, stepping into a role that Jean Touitou<\/a> held for nearly 30 years before stepping down in July 2024. Poiblanc is a stylist and creative director whose editorial work spans WSJ Magazine, Vogue, and Harper’s Bazaar, and whose commercial clients include Zara, Lanvin, and Calvin Klein. She will be responsible for shaping the brand’s image, and will present her debut collection at the Milan showroom on May 20, followed by the A.P.C. headquarters on Rue Madame in Paris on June 15. The appointment comes at a significant moment for the house: L Catterton took a majority stake in 2023, Stephanie Phair joined as president in October 2025, and reports surfaced over the winter of cash flow difficulties and a planned restructuring. “I’ve always been drawn to its radical simplicity, an archetypal wardrobe shaped by a quiet sense of dissidence and a distinctly French attitude,” Poiblanc said.
