Calvin Klein global brand president exits
This story was originally published on Fashion Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Fashion Dive newsletter. Eva Serrano will leave her position as global brand president of Calvin Klein, according to a Thursday announcement from parent company PVH Corp. David Savman, PVH's global head of operations and chief supply chain officer, will succeed Serrano, who will remain with the company through the end of the year, serving as an advisor to support the transition, per the release. Savman joined PVH in 2022, and in addition to his current roles, he served as interim CEO for PVH Europe from June 2024 to February of this year, per his LinkedIn bio. In 2022, PVH outlined its multi-year strategic PVH+ Plan, designed to strengthen both Calvin Klein and PVH-owned Tommy Hilfiger. Serrano, who joined the company in 2023, helped drive part of that initiative, and during her tenure the Calvin Klein brand refreshed its image with both consumers and the fashion industry. 'As an integral part of the wider PVH+ Plan, and through Eva's leadership, Calvin Klein has been aligned as one brand under a global vision, plan and team, with a strong foundation for future growth,' PVH CEO Stefan Larsson said in the release. 'We are thankful for Eva's critical contributions on this journey.' Last year was a particularly notable year for Calvin Klein. In May 2024, the company hired designer Veronica Leoni to be creative director of Calvin Klein Collection, and in February, brought the line back to the runway after a six-year pause. Also in 2024, the company debuted two men's underwear ad campaigns featuring actor Jeremy Allen White, which generated significant social media impact for the brand. 'I'm incredibly proud to have been a part of this extraordinary brand journey where we have built the global foundation to unlock future growth, and I look forward to seeing the team take this forward,' Serrano said in the release. Serrano successor Savman comes to the role with extensive experience, and PVH credited him with repositioning Europe for growth during his tenure as interim CEO there. The company added that Savman will continue in his current role until the company names a successor. Prior to joining PVH, he spent nearly 20 years with H&M, where he served in multiple roles including head of supply chain, per his LinkedIn. 'David is a people-focused leader with a proven ability to elevate brands, execute with a robust operating engine and deliver PVH+ Plan performance, all of which will be critical as we take Calvin Klein into this next chapter,' Larsson said. Calvin Klein's fourth quarter revenue dropped 2%, while the brand's full year revenue fell 1%. PVH fourth quarter revenue declined 5% year over year to $2.4 billion, beating the company's guidance. Full year revenue dropped 6% to $8.7 billion, in line with the lower end of the company's guidance.

Leadership change at Calvin Klein: David Savman succeeds Eva Serrano
PVH Corp. has announced a leadership transition on May 8, 2025, appointing David Savman as the new global brand president of Calvin Klein, succeeding Eva Serrano. Serrano, who has led the brand since 2023, will remain with the company through the end of the year in an advisory capacity to ensure a smooth transition. PVH CEO Stefan Larsson expressed gratitude for Serrano's contributions and confidence in Savman's ability to lead Calvin Klein into its next chapter. 'David is a people-focused leader with a proven ability to elevate brands, execute with a robust operating engine and deliver PVH+ Plan performance, all of which will be critical as we take Calvin Klein into this next chapter,' Larsson said. Savman joined PVH in 2022 and currently serves as the company's global head of operations and chief supply chain officer. In 2024, he also took on the role of interim CEO for PVH Europe, where he was credited with repositioning the region for growth. Savman expressed enthusiasm about his new role, stating, 'I'm thrilled to lead the talented Calvin Klein team. Together with our global partners, we have a powerful opportunity to build on the strong momentum underway by tapping into the brand's iconic DNA to drive even greater desirability as we shape Calvin Klein for future generations.' Under Serrano's leadership, Calvin Klein underwent significant transformation, aligning the brand under a unified global vision and team. Notably, she played a pivotal role in bringing the high-end Calvin Klein Collection back to New York Fashion Week after a six-year hiatus and appointed Veronica Leoni as the brand's first creative director since 2018. This leadership change is part of PVH's ongoing efforts to streamline its operations and focus on its core brands, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, as it continues to execute its PVH+ Plan for long-term growth.

PVH high-flyer David Savman becomes Calvin Klein global brand president
So what do we know about him? He joined PVH in 2022 and we're told he's been 'instrumental in bringing together the company's global brands, commercial teams and operating model to win with the consumer, building on decades of experience leading product-centric organisations'. He's currently the parent company's global head of operations and chief supply chain officer, and last year also served as interim CEO for PVH Europe. While in that role, the company said he was responsible for 'repositioning the region for growth'. There's no successor to Savman yet in his hugely important current role and so he'll also continue in that post until the company names a replacement. Stefan Larsson added: 'As an integral part of the wider PVH+ Plan, and through Eva's leadership, Calvin Klein has been aligned as one brand under a global vision, plan and team, with a strong foundation for future growth. We are thankful for Eva's critical contributions on this journey. 'With this foundation in place, we are now taking the next step in our growth journey as we further tap into Calvin Klein's iconic DNA.' Larsson also called out Jonathan Bottomley, who's "led the brand to unprecedented levels of consumer engagement, and Veronica Leoni who creates the aspirational halo for the brand'. He said Savman will work with them and the wider Calvin Klein team around the world to 'further build out our product, marketing and marketplace strength to bring our brand vision to life'. Savman himself said the business has 'a powerful opportunity to build on the strong momentum under way by tapping into the brand's iconic DNA to drive even greater desirability as we shape Calvin Klein for future generations'.
