Christopher Kane to move into leathergoods after PPR buyout
16/01/2013
The French group, which owns a number of fashion brands including Gucci and YSL, said it wants to grow the brand and expand in Asia.
Alexis Babeau, managing director of the PPR luxury division, said: “What really matters to us is not size or profitability, but what a brand can become tomorrow.”
Mr Kane set the label up in 2006, after graduating from Central Saint Martins design college in London. He runs the business with his sister, and employs 26 people in London.
Mr Kane said: "PPR has an incredible reputation for building some of the very best luxury brands in the world.”
