Lanvin Group CFO David Chan to step down
Lanvin Group has announced that Executive President and Chief Financial Officer, David Chan, is stepping down from his role on 27 October “to pursue new professional opportunities”.
"I would like to express our sincere gratitude to David for his dedication and leadership over the past years", Zhen Huang, Chairman of Lanvin, told WWD. "His significant contributions have been pivotal in shaping the group’s strategic direction and transformation efforts. We wish him continued success in his future endeavours. Lanvin Group remains well positioned to continue delivering growth and creating long-term shareholder value."
It was in 2021 that Chinese owners of Lanvin, Fosun Fashion Group, rebranded to Lanvin Group (though the French luxury fashion house was founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin in Paris), with other brands under the umbrella including Wolford, Sergio Rossi, St. John Knits and Caruso.
Lanvin is currently undergoing a major transition, with Artistic Director Peter Copping having presented just his second collection (for SS26) during Paris Fashion Week on 30 September 2025.
Copping’s January debut collection was described as “an act of homage to Lanvin’s heritage” as the oldest continually operating Parisian couture house, and as “a moment of consolidation and reiteration”, though his SS26 collection is more adventurous with the designer’s “distinct vision of modernity”.
