as i reported earlier last week, lanvin has a CEO top spot available since the departure of paul deneve. well word on the street is; CEO for mochino thierry andretta has made a “personal decesion” to leave his position at the helm of the italian fashion house he has reigned for the last two years. its an interesting move occupation-wise for sure.
WWD is quoted here, listing the qualifications that prove fitting for someone looking to make a possible move to the top of a certain parisian fashion house: ” Andretta had a good track record at Moschino. In 2007, consolidated sales grew 9 percent to 136.9 million euros, or $187.7 million, accounting for 46.7 percent of Aeffe’s total revenues. Sales slowed marginally in the first nine months of 2008, growing 8.1 percent to 114.2 million euros, or $173.9 million, or 47.6 percent of Aeffe’s overall turnover. Dollar figures are converted at average exchange rates for the periods to which they refer.” sounds like leaving moschino would be a good look for Andretta. alot of moving & shaking going on in the fashion world right now. change, the official theme of two thousand nine. more as this story develops.
