Laurence Kleinknecht has been working in the fields of public relations and communications, consulting in fashion, luxury, art and music for over two decades.



It was in the 90s, with Michèle Montagne in Paris, working closely with fashion legends Helmut Lang and Ann Demeulemeester, among others, that she began, developing a critical eye and vigilant work ethic.



In 2000 Laurence took her years of experience working as Pr Director for a multi-brand agency and joined LVMH and the couture house Christian Dior. Here she began a 13-year working relationship with Hedi Slimane at the inception of what would become Dior Homme, where she served as Worldwide Press Director.



Laurence left Dior Homme along with Slimane in 2007. While continuing to work together, as his focus became photography, she created her own agency, which included visual artists and musicians from the Parisian electronic music scene.



In 2012 Laurence made a return to fashion, again, with Slimane, joining Kering and the couture house Saint Laurent, where she was appointed Worldwide Communications Director.



Laurence Kleinknecht now works independently and continues to consult for luxury and streetwear brands while carefully curating her agency with artists, musicians and designers.
