Romain Kremer (born April 1, 1982 in Villefranche de Rouergue, Aveyron, France) is a French fashion designer. He graduated from the Duperré School of Decorative Arts in Paris in 2002, and the following year he went to work for firms like Christian Dior Monsieur.
In 2005 he won the Special Award for Creativity at the 20th Hyères International Fashion & Photography Festival.
In 2005 he choreographed and directed an installation-performance for the Fondation Cartier's Nomadic Nights.
In 2006, Romain Kremer took on a collaboration project with the choreographer Christian Rizzo. The project, dubbed en:trance, presented variations of workshops, conferences and exhibits and was a cooperation with the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, the Ecole nationale supérieure de création industrielle, the National Center for Visual Arts (Centre national des arts plastiques: CNAP) and the Centre National de la Danse.
In 2010, the Parisian photo studio, Studio Harcourt, photographed Romain Kremer’s collection archives. Followed by an expo "Retrospectrum" which opened in Paris on June 27, 2010, then continued on a tour of Europe's principal fashion capitals. The pictures were subsequently featured in "L'Art du portrait selon Studio Harcourt : Secrets et techniques", a book published by the Studio Harcourt in December 2010.
In the wake of his Special Award for Creativity at Hyères, he launched, in 2005, his homonymous menswear brand. Notably presenting boys in sheer pink floor-length dresses for spring / summer 2009, it kept in with their masculinity. Often presenting futuristic and post-apocalyptic narratives to hard techno soundtracks, the New York Times stated that Romain Kremer knows how to create a fashion moment. The designer has been compared to Pierre Cardin on GQ magazine, undeniably due to his Space Age approach to contemporary menswear. Romain Kremer stopped his brand as he was called to join Thierry Mugler in 2010.
Rosemary Rodriguez's departure as artistic director of the house of Thierry Mugler lands a triumvirate to the head of the Parisian house of couture's fashion departments: Romain Kremer as head menswear designer, Sébastien Peigné for womenswear and Nicola Formichetti as creative director.
