Paige Denim Names Sales Manager
Robert Brown has been named national sales director for Los Angeles–based Paige Premium Denim. He is based in Los Angeles and will oversee sales strategies for all of the company’s divisions, including PPD (for men), Paige Kids, Paige Petites and Paige Organics. Brown takes over a position left behind by Michael Press, who left the company to take a similar position at Earnest Sewn.
Brown was previously West Coast sales director for Los Angeles–based AG Jeans and Adriano Goldschmied, where he was instrumental in implementing a successful diffusion-brand initiative and developing key retail-support strategies.
He has also represented other leading brands in the United Kingdom and the United States, including Versace Sport and Dolce & Gabbana kids. He also served as chief executive officer of Options Ltd., a London-based company for which he helped relaunch the Replay brand into the U.K. market. Prior to that, he was the managing director at Rain Agencies Ltd., where he handled brands including Taverniti So, Lee Trevor, Punch Shirts, Fuzzi by Diane Von Furstenberg, You & Me and Gianfranco Ruffini.
“We are pleased to welcome Robert to Paige. His lengthy association with Replay will be a great benefit to our growing brand,” said Trent MacLean, Paige’s president. —Robert McAllister
