Browns managing director Paul Brennan has been named EMEA MD by Marc Jacobs, which has also now moved its regional HQ to London from Paris after announcing the plans at the start of this year.

Marc Jacobs opened a boutique on London’s reviving Regent Street this summer, further underlining the importance of London to the business. The shop is its biggest boutique outside of its domestic US market.

London-based Brennan takes over from Sacha Leonard who’s now global commercial director at Maison Margiela.
