Carven appoints Daphné Cousineau as General Manager

Icicle Group has hired Daphné Cousineau for the role of General Manager
of Carven, according to WWD. The Chinese group saved the French label from
bankruptcy last year, planning to relaunch it. Cousineau is the first big
hire after the dismissal of former creative director Serge Ruffieux in
November.

“I am delighted to join Carven, this wonderful heritage fashion brand,
and to lead its relaunch project”, said Cousineau in a statement sent in
exclusivity to WWD. Cousineau is joining Carven from Kering, where she
worked as an Executive Committee Member and President for the Balenciaga
brand in the EMEA region. Prior to joining Balenciaga, Cousineau held
senior management roles at Celine, Valentino and Lanvin.
