Chloe, owned by Compagnie Financière Richemont (>> Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA), said Ramsay-Levy will take over from April 3 and present her first collection for the label in Paris in September.

Ramsay-Levi has been second-in-command to Louis Vuitton designer Nicolas Ghesquiere since 2013, having worked with him for more than a decade at Balenciaga (>> KERING).

Rumours of Ramsay-Levi's appointment have been circulating since Chloe's creative director Clare Waight Keller announced her departure at the end of January.
