SMCP fashion group, the parent of Sandro, Maje, Claudie Pierlot and Fursac, has appointed Kleine Tan as CEO for its Asia region.  

Earlier this month, Tan took over from Jimmy Lam, departing after eight years at SMCP. Tan has more than two decades of retail experience in senior roles at Loewe, Givenchy, Prada Group, Burberry and Louis Vuitton. 

He will lead SMCP’s next phase of regional development and the ongoing network optimisation in China, the company said, strengthening its footprint across the continent, which it sees as one of its most important regions.

“I look forward to building on the strong foundations already in place and driving new opportunities across the region,” said Tan.
