Fashion & Retail Executive Search, from Mass Market to Luxury
Fashion & Retail move quickly, and the leaders who succeed in them need both creative instinct and commercial discipline. BIANCHI&Co. provides executive search and creative recruitment for Fashion & Retail brands around the world, from global Mass Market retailers to Premium & Luxury houses.
We understand that a leader who thrives at a brand serving millions of customers each week needs different strengths from one guiding a heritage house, and that many of the best leaders have succeeded in both. Our searches start with the brand, its customers and its next stage of growth.
Roles We Search For
Chief Executive Officer, President and General Manager
Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Brand Officer and Head of Communications
Chief Creative Officer, Creative Director and Design Director
Apparel, accessories and product design leadership
Merchandising, eCommerce and digital leadership
Art direction, brand development, copywriting and content
Mass Market, Premium & Luxury
Our Fashion & Retail work spans the whole market. We partner with large global retailers and specialty brands where scale, speed and customer insight matter most, and with Premium & Luxury brands where craft, consistency and brand codes come first. Luxury is one part of a much broader practice, and leaders increasingly move between these worlds. We help clients see talent across all of them.
Selected Fashion & Retail Clients
Over the course of his career, Anthony Bianchi has worked with Fashion & Retail companies such as J. Crew, Coach, UNIQLO, Nike, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Kate Spade, Amazon, CHANEL, Gucci, Tiffany & Co. and Swarovski.
How We Search in Fashion & Retail
Fashion briefs often depend on timing: a new collection, a relaunch, a new market or a change in creative direction. We take time to understand the brand, its customer and the team the new leader will inherit, then search across Fashion, Retail, Beauty and Lifestyle, in every region where our clients operate. Every search is held in confidence, and every shortlist is considered rather than crowded.
