The PVH group continues to strengthen Calvin Klein, by currently assembling the management team for the brand's premium line, Calvin Klein Collections. After entrusting responsibility for the line to Michelle Kessler-Sanders in mid-October, the group has now added a Chief Operating Officer.

Right-hand-man Minerva has a wealth of experience in top-of-the-range fashion. He has worked since 2008 for Yves Saint Laurent (Kering), where he was recently still in charge of industrial strategy. Minerva formerly spent six years at Kering's arch-rival LVMH, for whom he supervised Fendi's logistics operations. Before that, he spent 13 years with Procter & Gamble as production, logistics and supply chain specialist.

Leonardo Minerva is now in charge of the brand's European headquarters, with offices in Milan and Trento, Italy, and will look after production and product sourcing and development for Calvin Klein Collection globally.
