Fielitz said he could not reveal his plans at this time. Rena Lange chief executive officer Daniel Gunthert emphasized the designer and company are parting amicably. The pre-winter collection under Fielitz’s design direction will be presented at the end of November, and Fielitz will also oversee the fall 2013 fashion show in Berlin during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in early January.
