with day-to-day operations managed by a newly established
management committee.
Prior to his leadership role at St. John Knits, Mr. Lew held
senior positions at Brooks Brothers Group, Ermenegildo Zegna Group,
and Nordstrom Inc., where he played a pivotal role in driving
business expansion, leading high-performing teams, and navigating
complex global markets. Additionally, Mr. Lew has served on the
boards of August Purple,
Soles4Souls, and several Brooks Brothers subsidiaries.
In conjunction with these leadership appointments, the Board has
approved an expansion from eight to nine members and appointed Mr.

exciting chapter for Lanvin Group as we continue to grow and
innovate in the luxury fashion industry. Establishing a second
headquarters in Europe under
Andy's leadership underscores our commitment to strengthening our
global operations and market presence. I want to thank Eric Chan for his dedicated service as CEO and
look forward to his continued contributions as a Board member. With
Andy's exceptional expertise and the strengthened Board, I am
confident we will exceed our strategic goals and deliver even
