Julien Dossena Departs Rabanne After 12 Years

Julien Dossena is leaving Rabanne, the French fashion house he led since 2013. Appointed at age 30, Dossena previously worked under Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga for four years. During his tenure, he expanded Rabanne's signature chainmail vocabulary and retrofuturist codes, attracting a celebrity following. Beyoncé wore Rabanne for both the Cowboy Carter and Renaissance tours. Other notable clients include Michelle Obama, who wore a lace-up corduroy set at SXSW 2025, and Chappell Roan, who wore a Medieval chainmail set at the 2024 VMAs. Emily Ratajkowski modeled his power clashing at the 2018 GQ Australia Man of the Year Awards.
