Introduction
Roy Krejberg is a Danish fashion designer educated in Copenhagen whose career has moved between house appointments and independent Paris collections. He joined Kenzo in 1994 as an assistant to Kenzo Takada, directed the style of the men's collections from 1998 and became responsible for Kenzo Homme after Takada retired at the end of 1999. His final season for the house was Autumn/Winter 2003–04.
In 2004 Krejberg and Peachoo Datwani founded Peachoo+Krejberg. The label showed womenswear in Paris over the following decade, developing a body of work built from monochrome layers, irregular volumes, surface treatment and deconstructed tailoring.
Krejberg later returned to Danish fashion as artistic director of Ivan Grundahl, presenting his first collection for the Copenhagen label in 2017. That appointment added another established house to a career defined by the transfer of design language between Paris and Denmark.
Design ethos
Krejberg works through proportion, construction and controlled disruption. At Kenzo Homme he retained the house's ease while giving menswear its own seasonal rhythm, using the specialised men's studio to carry founder-era knowledge through a change of authorship.
Peachoo+Krejberg made that discipline darker and more architectural. Monochrome fabrics, hard angles, wrapped or displaced layers and organic embellishment produced silhouettes that could appear severe at first glance yet remained responsive to the body.
His later work for Ivan Grundahl applied the same close reading of an existing label. Romantic volume and wearability were preserved while cut and proportion were tightened, reflecting a method based on studying a house before altering its visual grammar.

Career history
2017
Krejberg became artistic director of Ivan Grundahl and presented his first collection for the Danish label during Copenhagen Fashion Week in February 2017. He left the role in January 2018 after a brief tenure focused on carrying the house's romantic volume into a more sharply cut register.
2004
Roy Krejberg and Peachoo Datwani founded Peachoo+Krejberg in Paris in 2004. Their documented runway period extended into 2014 and developed monochrome, deconstructed womenswear through irregular volume, layered construction and surface treatment.
1999
Krejberg became principal designer of Kenzo Homme at the end of 1999. His appointment supplied continuity from inside the men's studio and formed the other half of the house's first post-founder creative structure.
1998
Roy Krejberg, already working inside Kenzo, assumed a stronger design mandate for menswear in 1998. The step prepared the category for the split succession that followed Takada's retirement.
