Laurent Malecaze, chief executive officer of Dunhill since January 2022, is to take the management helm of Chloe.

As the architect of the Paris fashion house’s new business model based on purpose, sustainability and accountability, he succeeds Riccardo Bellini.

Chloé parent Richemont said Bellini's decision was made in full collaboration with the group to allow proper completion of his mission; and a smooth transition.

In his four years as president and CEO, the Italian executive recruited Gabriela Hearst to fast-track Chloé’s eco ambitions to B Corp status. He also found Hearst’s successor, Chemena Kamali, who is to stage her first fashion show during Paris Fashion Week next February. During Bellini’s tenure, Chloé grew both financially and creatively, according to Richemont.
