Lucie Meier

At the Pinnacle of the Fashion World

“In a short period of time, Lucie Meier has made a name for herself in the fiercely competitive international fashion arena. With her intuitive designs and her attitude, she sets new standards for the fashion industry in terms of both aesthetics and ethics. Her career – even without a label of her own – epitomises the self-made fashion designer. She has brought her talent and abilities to bear for some of the biggest fashion houses.”

In just a short time, Lucie Meier has made her way to the top at one of the world’s biggest fashion houses, Jil Sander. Her attitude and design language are also exceptional: unfazed by the hectic fashion world, she has found her own creative path, embracing sustainability. Her career as a fashion designer began at Louis Vuitton under Marc Jacobs. She then designed a show collection for Balenciaga together with Nicolas Ghesquière and later joined Dior under Raf Simons, eventually being promoted to chief designer of the summer team. She became acting co-head of Dior on an interim basis when Simons left. Lucie Meier became joint Creative Director of Jil Sander with her husband Luke Meier in 2017. At the now Italian-owned firm, they are searching for new ways to bring meaning and beauty to fashion in an age that seems to push the conventional dichotomy of opulence versus minimalism to ever more absurd extremes.

Lucie Meier was born in 1982 in Zermatt (canton of Valais). She lives and works in Milan and Paris.
