Central Saint Martins names successor to Professor Louise Wilson

Central Saint Martins has named Fabio Piras as the successor to MA Fashion

Course director Professor Louise Wilson.

Piras, a Central Saint Martins’ alumnus, had previously worked with Wilson on the course for “many years” and has been acting course director on two occasions, most recently in the period since Wilson passed away in May.

He has 20 years’ of experience in the industry, including a successful career in both creative direction and consultancy for luxury fashion brands in Europe and China, as well as showing his own eponymous label during London Fashion Week from 1994 until 2000.

In a statement, Central Saint Martins said: “Fabio’s vision will build on Louise’s legacy of creative excellence and will shape a new era for MA Fashion education at CSM.”
