After the retirement of Toshi Tashiro, luxury fashion retailer, Michael Kors has announced it has a new president of Japan, Daisuke Yamazaki.
Mr Tashiro will continue to work for the company for the rest of the year so a smooth handover can be provided.
Before joining Michael Kors, Mr Yamazaki has previously worked for other luxury retailers such as chief executive at Gucci Japan, chief executive of Roberto Cavalli Japan and worked at Giorgio Armani Japan for 15 years.
Chairman and chief executive of Michael Kors, John Idol said: “Daisuke’s background and expertise make him an ideal match for Michael Kors. He will be working closely with Stephane Lafay to take our business in Japan to the next level of success.
“With deep knowledge of the Japanese fashion market and expertise in managing international fashion brands he will be a tremendous resource as we build upon the success we have achieved in growing the Michael Kors brand in this region.”
