On 26 July 2007, it was announced that Mulberry design director Stuart Vevers would be leaving Mulberry to replace Jose Enrique Ona Selfa as creative director at Loewe. The new appointment has Vevers based in Madrid full-time since he took up the position in January 2007. "Stuart fits the profile perfectly of what we wanted", Pierre-Yves Roussel, chief executive officer of the fashion division at LVMH – which owns Loewe – told WWD. "We have been making operational changes at the brand recently. Now we want to emphasize Loewe's strong point – leather goods – with someone who can make desirable handbags." "I've loved working with Stuart, who is a great designer", says Lisa Montague, Mulberry's chief operating officer. "He has built a strong team, bringing a wealth of talent to the brand and the search is now on to find a suitable successor to take Mulberry to the next level." That successor would be Emma Hill, who has worked on accessories for many of the world's top brands, including Gap, Chloé and Marc Jacobs (see [1] ).

Coach

On 25 June 2013, it was announced that Loewe creative director Stuart Vevers would be leaving Loewe to join American label Coach as executive creative director. Vevers succeeds Reed Krakoff at the leather goods label, who announced that he would be stepping down in April – following a 16-year tenure – in order to focus on his own fashion line. (see [2] ).
