Roy Krejberg to Leave Kenzo Men's Division
By Timothy Hagy
PARIS, Dec 4, 2002/ FW/ --- Kenzo Homme has announced the resignation of Roy Krejberg,
the Danish-born Artistic Director who has actively participated in the development of
the brand since 1994.
Sighting personal reasons, Mr. Krejberg is leaving the venerable Parisian fashion house with the Fall Winter 2003-4 collection that is scheduled to be shown in January 2003.
Originally founded by Kenzo Takada, the company is now a part of the LVMH group. In a separate move, LVMH has filed suit against Morgan Stanley, accusing the New York bank of negatively reporting earnings results in favor of the Gucci Group, a long time rival, and client of the American firm.
Facing the challenges of a difficult period for the luxury goods sector, a new, thus far unnamed, Artistic Director is expected to take over Kenzo Homme with the Spring / Summer 2004 collection.
Mr. Krejberg, who has received positive acclaim for his work at Kenzo, has not specified his precise career plans.
The Kenzo women's line continues to be designed by Gilles Rosier.
