Fashion & Style News: Fendi Has a New Leader

Luxury brand Fendi North America has hired a new president, Stacy Van Praagh to lead it into it's next era. Van Praagh's previous post was as vice president of sales at Oscar de La Renta.

Like most other luxury brands, Fendi has seen a dip in profit although the company's ready-to-wear and footwear sectors have experienced moderate growth. Beginning with the fall-winter season, Saks Fifth Avenue will showcase Fendi ready-to-wear in it's newly redesigned floor.

Fendi merchandise can be found in Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Jeffrey. Fendi plans to open a boutique at the CityCenter in Las Vegas.
