Our client, a Nordic fashion brand based in Copenhagen, Denmark, is looking for a Senior Brand Director who can take their women’s wear apparel collection safely all the way from the design to the showroom, while managing the product, doing prices, handling the producers and keeping the collection steady and interesting as a Premium brand.
The role reports directly to the CEO and co-owner and is based in Copenhagen.
Every year the number of people choosing to do a significant portion of their Christmas shopping online is increasing. But what does this mean for traditional brick-and-mortar retailers? Does the increasing popularity of online shopping threaten the high-street?
Retailers John Lewis and Next, amongst others, reported that, whilst the number of sales made online over the Christmas period was up on last year's figures, their in-store sales experienced a significant drop-off, with online sales making up the difference.
CEO Patrizio di Marco and Creative Director Frida Giannini plan to step down from Gucci in early 2015 (in January and February – after Giannini’s AW15 collection is shown at the Milan Fashion Week – respectively).
Di Marco will be replaced by Marco Bizzarri, who joined Kering in 2005 as CEO of Stella McCartney and was appointed CEO of Bottega Veneta in 2009. Giannini’s successor has yet to be announced.
Giannini and di Marco, a couple with a daughter together, have yet to comment on their next move.
