Debenhams creative director Patrick Duggan is stepping down from the retailer after more than five years.

Duggan started out as the brand’s creative manager for Coast and Karen Millen in 2020.

The exec went on to become senior creative manager for Debenhams in 2021, before being named as creative director in 2024.

It remains unclear who will succeed Duggan as the company’s creative director.



Posting on LinkedIn, the executive said: “After more than five years; starting on Karen Millen and Coast in the depths of Covid, then moving on to Debenhams pretty much from day one of ownership – it’s time for a new adventure. 

“It’s been an incredible half decade, working with some of the most talented and inspirational people I’ve ever met and, thinking back over my time, I’m so phenomenally proud and privileged to have been involved in so many career defining projects.”

The news comes after Debenhams recently appointed Tom Handley as a new non-executive director as part of a board reshuffle.

Additionally, the group confirmed that Alistair McGeorge had departed as a non-executive director.
