Re/Done appoints Phillip Prado as new CEO
Re/Done, the Los Angeles-based denim brand founded by Sean Barron and Jamie Mazur, has announced the appointment of Philip Prado as its new chief executive officer.
'Prado joins the company at a pivotal moment, as Re/Done prepares to build upon its cult status in denim and heritage-inspired essentials, while expanding into new product categories and global markets," according to a press release.
Prado, a veteran of the luxury fashion industry, brings two decades of experience with roles at Calvin Klein, Burberry, and most recently Gucci, where he served as SVP, merchandising of the Americas market before assuming the role of global chief merchandising officer in Milan.
'Known for driving commercial success, while respecting creativity and brand heritage, Prado will lead Re/Done into its next chapter of brand growth and cultural relevance,' added Re/Done.
"Re/Done's founding ethos, rooted in authenticity and honoring the past to inspire the future, is more relevant today than ever,' said Prado. 'Re/Done has built a strong identity and loyal following over the last decade, with a distinctive point of view and commitment to heritage, innovation and craftsmanship. I'm thrilled to join the team at a moment of true opportunity: to build on the brand's iconic foundation and expand into new territories and categories, while staying true to its creative spirit rooted in Los Angeles.'
Founded in 2014, Re/Done quickly rose to prominence by deconstructing and remaking vintage Levi's into modern fits and silhouettes, and later expanding to partnerships with heritage American brands such as Hanes and Champion. The brand has since grown into a full lifestyle label with international distribution, beloved for its signature denim and t-shirts.
Re/Done's focus on sustainability, craftsmanship, and storytelling has earned it a devoted following among celebrities including Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, with a vibrant creative community across music, art, architecture, and fashion.
With the appointment of Prado, Re/Done is set to further evolve its product offering, enter new categories, and diversify its channel mix. While wholesale has been a key driver of growth to date, with distribution in over 350 stores across top-tier global retailers in over 30 countries, the brand is increasing its investment in direct-to-consumer.
The brand now has two boutiques in California, another in the Hamptons, in Aspen, and two more stores in Seoul, South Korea. Two years ago, Barron and Mazur also opened their first boutique in Paris, on the chic Rue de Grenelle in the 7th arrondissement.
Further initiatives are expected in the coming months with new markets such as New York, London and further expansion in Asia, and a renewed focus on optimizing the e-commerce business at shopredone.com.
Style Capital, the Milan-based private equity firm that first invested in Re/Done in 2018, has reaffirmed its commitment to the brand, becoming majority shareholder and signaling confidence in the company's long-term potential and international expansion plans. Susan Chokachi, longtime luxury executive and former Gucci chief brand officer and president and CEO of Gucci Americas, joins as chair of the board.
'Now is the right time to reinforce the structure of the company, financially and from a management standpoint, so we are pleased to appoint Phillip and to have Susan's experience to help guide the company into the next era,' said Roberta Benaglia, CEO of Style Capital.
'We have always believed in the vision of Re/Done and are committed to help fuel the brand's growth for the future.'
'Re/Done has always had a distinct position in the market—equal parts iconic brand, cultural movement, and creative platform,' said Chokachi.
'Re/Done has been an industry trailblazer on vintage and upcycling, building a great American brand on creative principles that matter to younger consumers. With Phillip at the helm and the continued support of Style Capital and the brand founders, we are poised to scale the best of the brand's core promise, while honoring its California roots and cultural authenticity.'

'Invest in defence now or start learning Russian later'
The US administration has appointed Lt. Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich as both the next top US general in Europe as well as the SACEUR. The appointment by Trump will be especially welcomed following media reports in recent months that the US was considering relinquishing the role of SACUER which has always been appointed by a US president to NATO. "It's a very important decision and there is relief from NATO's point of view as it's a positive sign of American engagement and staffing," a US-based source familiar with the issue told Euronews. US Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower was NATO's first SACEUR in 1951, and the role has remained with the US ever since. 'Upon completion of national confirmation processes, Grynkewich will take up his appointment as the successor to General Christopher G. Cavoli, United States Army, at a change of command ceremony at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe in Mons, Belgium, expected in the summer of 2025,' a statement from NATO read. New targets in defence spending adopted Meanwhile, NATO defence ministers agreed to a significant surge in defence capability targets for each country, as well as moving to spending 5% of GDP on defence. They've agreed that 3.5% of GDP would be used for 'core defence spending' - such as heavy weapons, tanks, air defence. Meanwhile 1.5% of GDP per year will be spent on defence- and security-related areas such as infrastructure, surveillance, and cyber. However, the full list of flexibility has not yet been negotiated. 'These targets describe exactly what capabilities Allies need to invest in over the coming years,' NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told journalists. The US has been pushing NATO allies to dramatically increase spending, and expects to see 'credible progress' immediately, according to US Ambassador to NATO Mathew Whitaker. 'The threats facing NATO are growing and our adversaries are certainly not waiting for us to re-arm or be ready for them to make the first move," 'We would prefer our Allies move out urgently on reaching the 5%,' he told journalists in a briefing on the margins of the meetings. Ambassador Whitaker also said the US is 'counting on Europe' to the lead in providing Ukraine with the 'resources necessary to reach a durable peace' on the continent. Mark Rutte reiterated NATO's recent warnings that Russia could strike NATO territory within the next couple of years. 'If we don't act now, the next three years, we are fine, but we have to start now, because otherwise, from three, four or five years from now, we are really under threat," he said, adding: "I really mean this. Then you have to get your Russian language course out, or go to New Zealand.' 'It's good to have continuity about the US in NATO, but with Ukraine it's a different story. I just don't think Trump really cares about Ukraine," the US-based source told Euronews. 'Trump just doesn't care about Europe – it doesn't make him richer or help him politically,' the source said. Referring to the forthcoming NATO summit taking place next month in The Hague, the source said the presence of Ukraine at the summit "will likely be scaled back", since the US will say, "they're not members' so they don't need to be there".

G-III Apparel Q1 results
G-III Apparel announced on Friday a 4% decline in sales to $583.6 million in the first quarter, hurt by the U.S. fashion firm's returning of its Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger licenses to parent PVH Corp. However, the New York-based company reported double-digit growth of its key owned brands, namely DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld and Donna Karan, which helped net income for the quarter ended April 30 rise to $7.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $5.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. "'G-III delivered solid first quarter results, marked by earnings that exceeded the high end of results underscore the strong demand and desirability of our brand portfolio and are a testament to our team's outstanding execution," said Morris Goldfarb, G-III's chairman and chief executive officer. Looking ahead, the fashion firm withdrew its full-year earnings forecast due to the uncertainty around U.S. tariffs and related macroeconomic conditions. The company expects the unmitigated cost of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. will accrue additional expenses of approximately $135 million, which is expected to mostly affect the second half of the year. "We are reaffirming our net sales guidance for fiscal 2026 and working diligently to mitigate the impact of tariffs. Our experienced management team has a proven track record of successfully navigating periods of uncertainty, and we view the ongoing disruptions as an opportunity to strengthen our competitive position and capture incremental market share. As we advance our strategic priorities, we have never been more confident in the global resonance of our brands and the significant growth potential ahead to drive long-term profitability and shareholder value," concluded Goldfarb. G-III Apparel owns DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan, G.H. Bass and Vilebrequin brands, and licenses over 20 brands including Nautica, Halston, Converse, BCBG and National Sports leagues, among others.
