A new chapter unfolds at Ganni, the Danish fashion powerhouse that rocketed to a billion-dollar business in a whirlwind decade. After steering the ship for several years, Italian captain Andrea Baldo announced his departure on LinkedIn, leaving a trail of gratitude towards the brand’s founders, Ditte and Nicolaj Reffstrup.
Stepping onto the bridge is Laura du Rusquec, a veteran navigator from the iconic Balenciaga and Gucci houses. With her sharp vision and experience honed in the crucible of luxury fashion, she’s poised to propel Ganni towards uncharted territory.
“Ganni’s dedication to innovation, sustainability and their progressive approach to luxury is exactly what the future of the fashion industry needs,” du Rusquec declared in a press release. Her arrival coincides with a period of explosive growth for Ganni. Under Baldo’s leadership, the brand shattered the billion-dollar revenue barrier in 2022. The success story doesn’t end there. Just last year, Time Magazine recognized Ganni’s influence, including it in their prestigious list of the world’s 100 most impactful companies.
With a robust network of over 40 stores across Europe, the US, and Asia, Ganni is poised for a thrilling next chapter under du Rusquec’s command. It’s a story not just of a leadership change, but of a visionary brand embracing its future with an infusion of fresh talent and unwavering commitment to its core values.
