Ilana Kugel Joins Grey/Ven in a Major Creative Role
Grey/Ven, renowned for its understated elegance and luxurious designs, proudly announces the appointment of Ilana Kugel as the Creative Director for its women's collection. This exciting announcement coincides with the brand's preparations for the upcoming New York Fashion Week runway show and the launch of its inaugural luxury handbag collection. Ilana's debut collection for Grey/Ven, aptly named 'The Journey,' is set for Fall 2025.
Exciting Times Ahead for Grey/Ven
Ilana Kugel is celebrated for her remarkable achievements in the fashion industry, notably as a trailblazer with Koral swimwear and being the first athleisure designer to be inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). Through her previous collaborations with Grey/Ven, where she contributed to successful resort and pre-fall collections, Ilana is now poised to introduce her first major collection that embodies the spirit of luxury fashion.
A Visionary Collection
“Ilana Kugel's appointment marks a significant milestone for Grey/Ven,” stated Scott Weissman, CEO of the brand. “Her expertise in contemporary fashion will bring a fresh perspective to our designs. We are also excited to have her lead the creative direction of our expanding range of luxury handbags and accessories.”
Ilana's collection 'The Journey' encapsulates an exploration of minimalist style, drawing inspiration from the enchanting hues of a desert sunset. The lineup will include a variety of sophisticated sweaters, elegant dresses, and versatile layering pieces. These designs reflect a beautiful interplay of textures and colors—think monochromatic layers enhanced by ethereal silk and delicate merino wool. Each creation strives to embody a seamless blend of earth tones and luxurious finishes that resonate with the wanderlust spirit.
Preparing for a Glamorous Debut
“I am thrilled to present 'The Journey' in partnership with Grey/Ven,” expressed Ilana Kugel. “This collection represents a commitment to timeless design that will endure through changing trends. Collaborating with a brand so dedicated to innovative fashion is a true honor.”
As highlighted in the CFDA Fashion Calendar, Grey/Ven will debut the FW 25 line during a prestigious runway show at New York Fashion Week, set to take place at Casa Cipriani. This event signifies an exciting chapter for the brand with the introduction of its first line of luxury leather goods. These elegant pieces will not only complement the ready-to-wear collection but also demonstrate the brand's commitment to superior craftsmanship and timeless aesthetics.
