MILAN, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lanvin Group (NYSE: LANV, the "Group"), a global
luxury fashion group, announced today that Sergio Rossi, an Italian
luxury footwear brand, has appointed Paul
Andrew as Creative Director.
A leading voice in the new generation of design talent,
Paul Andrew cultivated his aesthetic
and technical expertise alongside Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Narciso
Rodriguez, and the late Alexander
McQueen. Andrew launched his eponymous collection of women's
footwear in 2013, soon thereafter extended the line to include
men's footwear, and in 2014 became the first shoe designer and the
youngest brand to win the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. In 2016,
Salvatore Ferragamo appointed Andrew
Design Director for women's shoes, and one year later promoted him
to Women's Creative Director. Following the global success of his
first collections, Andrew was named Creative Director of all
Ferragamo product categories in 2019 – the first individual to
assume this title since Salvatore
Ferragamo himself helmed the brand. Andrew's work is at once
daring and pragmatic, balancing handmade craftsmanship with the
latest material and technological innovations. His passionate work
ethic, dedication to brand building and entrepreneurialism have
earned him critical praise and commercial respect
internationally.
Zhen Huang, Chairman of
Lanvin Group said, "Celebrating seven decades of unmatched
craftsmanship and artisanal excellence, Sergio Rossi has
established itself as a distinguished name in the luxury footwear
market worldwide. Sergio Rossi is a treasured member of our family,
merging tradition with innovation. With the appointment of
Paul Andrew, we are excited for the
brand's ongoing evolution and prosperity."
Eric Chan, CEO of Lanvin
Group, said, "Lanvin Group is pleased to announce the addition of
Paul Andrew to the Sergio Rossi
team. With his creative design expertise and forward-thinking
approach, Paul is set to lead Sergio Rossi into a new era of
success. This new direction for the brand aligns seamlessly with
our mission to uphold its rich heritage while catering to the
evolving tastes of our clientele."
Paul Andrew, Creative
Director of Sergio Rossi, said, "I am honoured and delighted to
join Sergio Rossi as Creative Director, a world-renowned house of
shoemaking whose roots and legacy speak to the lasting power of
Italian savoir-faire. And I look forward to building
upon Sergio's own unique spirit of
innovation and high craft as we propose a bright new vision for the
brand today."
