This year, French fashion house Paul Ka appoints Alithia Spuri-Zampetti as its new creative director. For 27 years, Paul Ka has embodied the true graphic and contemporary Parisian elegance by mixing between the classical and the modern, quirky femininity.

After the recent departure of the brand’s founder Serge Cajfinger, Alithia Spuri-Zampetti is taking over the helms of the French fashion house to write a new chapter in its history. A 31-year-old graduate of Central Saint Martin School of London, the Italian-American designer was in charge of Lanvin’s women’s ready-to-wear collection for the past six years. Her career in fashion design also included previous experiences at Valentino and Bottega Veneta.

"In keeping with PAULE KA's chic heritage and with the support of its atelier, I am keen to create a contemporary wardrobe, combining the essentials of daily wear with more elaborate pieces for special occasions. And all within a price range that offers accessible luxury typical of PAULE KA,” Spuri-Zampetti says.
