LVMH has shaken things up with fresh leadership appointments, announcing the new CEOs for its fashion powerhouses, Kenzo and Fendi. The luxury group also revealed a new head for its China business under the Louis Vuitton label.
Charlotte Coupé is set to take the reins at Kenzo, stepping into the CEO role on May 1. She will report directly to Sidney Toledano, the advisor to LVMH’s CEO Bernard Arnault. Coupé has been with LVMH since 2016 and has held various roles within the group, most recently as business unit director for Men’s Ready to Wear at Louis Vuitton. Before joining LVMH, she worked at Ralph Lauren and Lacoste, but now she will lead Kenzo, succeeding Sylvain Blanc, who is leaving to pursue “new projects.”
