Founded in 1962 in Nîmes by Jean Bousquet, Cacharel is known for its strong international brand identity through iconic products using fantastic prints. In the early 70’s, it became the look of an entire generation.

Always in search of new talents, Cacharel has recently announced the appointment of Ling Liu and Dawei Sun as creative directors for all collections: womenswear, childrenswear, menswear and accessories. The new designers will be starting their collaboration with Cacharel on the Spring-Summer 2012 collection, which is to be presented at the next Cacharel show as part of Paris Fashion Week in October 2011.

Thirty-two year old Ling scooped the “Grand Prix du Trophées Saint Roch” in 2005 and started her career in Nicolas Ghesquière’s team at the Balenciaga studio, then worked for Yves Saint Laurent, at Stefano Pilati’s womenswear design studio and subsequently the menswear studio.

Twenty-nine-year old Dawei’s talents were spotted when he won the 2004 Grand Prize in the “Young Fashion Designers” competition and the “PFAFF Creative prize”. His professional career led him to work for Lolita Lempicka’s design studio, then Balenciaga, and finally John Galliano’s workshop and studio for more than 5 years.
