Jean Paul Gaultier has been rumored to be leaving his position as Hermés’ main visionary since this past August. Gaultier has decided to fly from the nest ending his partnership with the brand in a final Spring 2011 runway show. Assuming the split was peaceful, Hermés will retain its 45% shareholding in the Jean Paul Gaultier label. Filling the shoes of Gaultier will be Christophe Lemaire, the artistic director of women’s ready-to-wear for Hermés.
