Laurent Malecaze, the current CEO of Dunhill, has been appointed the new President and CEO of Chloe, the prestigious Paris-based fashion house belonging to the luxury group Richemont. This move follows the departure of Riccardo Bellini, who will now oversee the recent appointment of Chemena Kamali as the house's new Creative Director.

Malecaze brings a wealth of experience to Chloe, having previously been associated with AZ Factory, an Alber Elbaz brand under the Richemont umbrella. Before his tenure at AZ Factory, Malecaze served as the CEO of The Webster, a luxury multi-brand retailer based in New York. His professional journey also includes a role as a strategic consultant at Bain & Company.

In his new role at Chloe, Malecaze will be reporting to Philippe Fortunato, the CEO of Richemont's Fashion and Accessories Maisons.

Chloe, established in 1952 and recognized as a influential marque in Paris fashion, has been home to renowned designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Martin Sitbon, Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo, and Clare Waight Keller. With Laurent Malecaze at the helm, the brand looks set to continue its legacy of excellence and innovation in the world of luxury fashion.
