Joe Corre exits Agent Provocateur

Vivienne Westwood's son Corre (pictured) founded lingerie label Agent Provocateur with his now ex-wife Serena Rees 15 years-ago.

Today WWD confirmed that Corre left the company last week to focus on his menswear label Child of the Jago, and to focus on his passion for music.

He will still hold a minority stake in the business though CEO Garry Hogarth holds the majority share.

Sarah Shotton head creative director of the brand will continue to design the collection, and will help to expand the brand this year with several new shops internationally and with the launch of jewellery.

According to WWD Agent Provocateur is also close to signing a deal to produce a new scent, bed-linen, sunglasses and umbrellas.
