Guess?, Inc. (NYSE: GES) today announced the appointment of
Andrew Rosen as Executive Chair of the rag & bone brand.
As previously announced, Guess? and global brand management firm
WHP Global recently completed the acquisition of New York-based
fashion brand rag & bone, which operates as an independent
brand within the Guess? portfolio. Guess? owns all of the rag &
bone operating assets, and Guess? and WHP Global jointly own the
rag & bone intellectual property.
In his role as Executive Chairman, Andrew Rosen will continue to
bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the brand, providing
strategic direction and oversight of the rag & bone executive
team, to drive the company's mission forward. In this work, Andrew
will partner closely with Paul Marciano and Carlos Alberini, as
well as Yehuda Shmidman, WHP Global Chairman and CEO. With Andrew’s
unparalleled industry knowledge and proven leadership skills, he
will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of rag &
bone.
As a visionary leader in American fashion, Andrew follows his
father and grandfather’s footsteps in the industry with more than
four decades of experience driving innovation and growth in both
emerging and well-established fashion brands. Following an early
career at Calvin Klein, he co-founded Theory in 1997 and oversaw
the company’s growth as CEO for over 20 years. Today he remains an
active investor and mentor to many leading American fashion brands,
some of which include Alice + Olivia, Veronica Beard and TWP, which
successfully launched three years ago.
Paul Marciano, Guess? Co-Founder and Chief Creative
Officer, said: “It’s an exciting time for both Guess? and rag
& bone as we embark on the next chapter of growth, and I
believe Andrew is the ideal person to continue to lead and
represent the rag & bone brand on this journey. I couldn’t be
more excited to work with Andrew in this great opportunity
together. As we look to the future, our focus is on delivering the
authentic and high-quality rag & bone collections customers
have come to know and love, while extending its reach to even more
people around the world.”
Carlos Alberini, Guess? Chief Executive Officer,
commented: “Andrew knows our business and industry exceptionally
well, and as a true visionary and pioneer in fashion has paved the
way for many other founders, designers and entrepreneurs to succeed
and grow in today’s evolving and increasingly digital environment.
Paul and I are pleased that Andrew has joined us as a fellow
shareholder of Guess?. I am thrilled for Andrew to be a part of the
Guess? family and look forward to a strong partnership on the path
ahead as we focus on driving value for our stakeholders.”
Andrew Rosen, rag & bone Executive Chair, said: “I
have been involved with rag & bone since 2006. I have always
been passionate about our brand and the opportunities that lie
ahead. This new relationship now cements that ambition by providing
an incredible platform for us to leverage our potential globally.
Our executive team and I are excited to embark on this journey with
Paul, Carlos, the entire Guess? organization, as well as with
Yehuda and WHP Global. The passion and opportunities they are
bringing to this acquisition are exciting for all of us involved. I
am confident that as part of the Guess? portfolio, rag & bone
is well-positioned to build on our success, deliver even greater
collections to our customers, and provide our team members with new
opportunities for years to come.”
