34-year-old Matthew Williams, who got his start designing for Kanye West and later Lady Gaga, will replace designer Clare Waight Keller as Givenchy’s creative director

Williams has also recently collaborated with Moncler Genius and with his friend Kim Jones at Dior Men, but this is his first time at the helm of an LVMH-owned brand. Like those who came before him, Williams will be responsible for all creative aspects of the brand, including both women’s and men’s design. He’s already got a female-identifying following, with customers like Bella Hadid embracing his sleek, mostly black, Matrix-esque designs. But his appointment arguably signals a desire from LVMH to grow the Givenchy’s menswear business in particular.
