10. November 2014 - Wolford AG has appointed the well-known designer Grit Seymour as its new Creative Director. This position, which was created as part of the company's strategic refocussing, is intended to systematically drive the brand development. The new Creative Director's main responsibilities will include the design of future collections as well an advisory function for Wolford's overall brand identity. The first signs of her contribution will be visible in the 2016 spring/summer collection, which will be presented to the professional public in summer 2015.
