Cacharel at Perchance Boutique

Ling Liu and Dawei Sun appointed artistic directors at Cacharel

Always in search of new talents, Cacharel has announced the appointment of Ling Liu and Dawei Sun as artistic directors for all lines, encompassing womenswear, childrenswear, menswear and accessories. Both Chinese stylists will be starting their collaboration with Cacharel by working on the Spring-Summer 2012 collection, which is to be presented at the next Cacharel show as part of Paris Fashion Week in October 2011.

Young, but with plenty of experience
Ling Liu and Dawey Sun are by no means novices in the French and international fashion world. They had both completed art studies prior to entering the Paris fashion school, L’Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, where they first met. They have a number of prestigious prizes to their name, together with work experience at the studios and workshops of the top Paris Couture houses.

Thirty-two year old Ling scooped the “Grand Prix du Trophees Saint Roch” in 2005 and started her career in Nicolas Ghesquiere’s team at the Balenciaga studio, then worked for Yves Saint Laurent, at Stefano Pilati’s womenswear design studio and subsequently the menswear studio.

Twenty-nine-year old Dawei’s talents were spotted when he won the 2004 Grand Prise in the “Young Fashion Designers” competition and the “PFAFF Creative prize”. His professional career led him to work for Lolita Lempicka’s design studio, then Balenciaga, and finally John Galliano’s workshop and studio for more than 5 years.

Together they produce collections for the Belle Ninon brand, which they founded in 2009.

IN April, Ling Liu and Dawei Sun won a prestigious jury prize at the 2011 Elle New Talent Fashion Awards, a competition instigated by ELLE France magazine and the French Ministry  for Culture and Communication with the aim of developing young fashion design.
