Whenever there is an attempt to revive a label that has been asleep for decades I get weary because the label either goes out of business after a couple of seasons or it simply does not pan out. However, in the past there have been some successes such as Chanel, Gucci, Emilio Pucci, Lanvin to name a few.

One of Carven's first designs
After being asleep for many years, the House of Carven woke up and is wide awake and alive, carrying beautiful, modern clothes that are created by Guillaume Henry. After working for Givenchy and Paula Ka, Henry became the creative director and oversees all creative aspects of the House. He breathed new life into Carven and after two years, the label has been pricking up the ears of the fashion world and the momentum of attention is increasing rapidly as it continues to reestablish itself as a luxury brand.
Guillaume Henry
The Fall 2011 collection was a wonderful mixture of every technique in tailoring and dressmaking. What Henry did with every fabric and technique was to create a party of innovative and strong, elegant and contemporary designs for anyone who is a connoisseur of fashion, to own in their private archives. The workmanship and the genious of the hands that constructed these designs will be truly appreciated by the eyes and bodies of any woman around the world.
Carven is a name of luxury that is lucky to have a wonderful designer like Guillaume Henry at the creative helm. I trust that his vision is appreciated and that everyone is looking forward to seeing more of Carven.
