PARIS, Dec 21 (Reuters) - French fashion company SMCP
SMCP.PA named Charlotte Tasset Ferrec as the chief executive
officer of its Maje brand, recruiting the former head of high
end fashion brand Nina Ricci to run its second-largest label.
The appointment comes as a group of bondholders that
recently became the top shareholder of SMCP, following the
default on a bond of its previous Chinese owner, have called for
changes on the board of SMCP and have said they want to sell
their stake to a third party. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N2RV1OJ
Charlotte Tasset Ferrec, 48, joins Maje as CEO after three
years within the Puig Group as CEO of Nina Ricci Fashion and
Perfume, and SMCP said that her time there had led to a
turnaround in the brand's business and profitability.
Prior to this, she spent 15 years in retail, including 9
years at Printemps as Chief Merchandising Officer.
