Delpozo appoints US president

Spanish ready-to-wear brand Delpozo has named Indre Rockefeller as its US president, effective end of April 2014.

Formerly general merchandising manager and creative director for luxury e-commerce site Moda Operandi, Rockefeller will be based in New York and will be responsible for overseeing the brand’s marketing, US distribution and strategic communication, as well as expansion of the label into other product categories.

Pedro Trolez, global president and owner of parent group, Perfumes y Diseño, who Rockefeller will report into, said: “We’ve experience incredible growth since our relaunch in 2012 with creative director Josep Font and therefore there’s strong appetite to expand our distribution.

“I am honoured to welcome Indre Rockefeller as Delpozo’s first US president whose strong industry relationships and brand business experience will help us to further expand our business in the US, Canada and the Caribbean.”

Rockefeller added: “I have had the pleasure of working with Josep Font and the Delpozo team since the brand’s re-launch and am thrilled to be joining the company. I am immensely grateful for Moda Operandi’s ongoing support of emerging designers, which has been instrumental in my career and in the evolution of Delpozo.”

Delpozo started showing at New York Fashion Week in February 2013 and earlier this year it opened its first stateside store in Miami.
