The former Gucci and Givenchy executive joins the Richemont-owned house as it continues its growth under CEO Laurent Malecaze and Creative Director Chemena Kamali
Chloé has appointed Valérie Leberichel as its new Chief Marketing Officer, strengthening the leadership team guiding the French fashion house’s ongoing resurgence.
Leberichel joins Chloé effective June 1 and will report to Chief Executive Officer Laurent Malecaze, who has overseen the brand’s recent momentum alongside Creative Director Chemena Kamali. Since taking the creative helm in 2023, Kamali has reestablished Chloé’s distinctive romantic and free-spirited identity, helping drive renewed consumer interest in the house.
Leberichel joins Chloé from Gucci, where she served as Senior Vice President of Global Communications. Earlier, she was Global Vice President of Communications at Givenchy, following a long tenure at Miu Miu and Prada. Throughout her career, she has held senior communications positions at some of luxury fashion’s most influential houses, including Celine, Miu Miu, Givenchy and Gucci.
Leberichel began her career at Jean Louis Scherrer before moving to Issey Miyake Europe as Communications Director. She later spent more than a decade at Celine, joining the Prada Group in 2013 as Worldwide Communications and External Relations Director for Miu Miu. By 2019, she had expanded her responsibilities to oversee global communications for Miu Miu while also leading communications for Prada France.
Her appointment comes as Chloé continues to gain traction within Richemont’s fashion and accessories division. In its latest trading update, Richemont highlighted strong ready-to-wear performance across several maisons, specifically citing Chloé alongside Alaïa and Peter Millar.
The addition of Leberichel further reinforces the brand’s leadership structure as Chloé builds on the commercial and critical success generated under Kamali’s creative direction.
