Tiffany & Co. (NYSE:TIF) today announced that Reed Krakoff
will join Tiffany in the new position of Chief Artistic Officer,
effective February 1. Reed will direct design for TIFFANY
& CO. brand jewelry, as well as luxury accessories, and lead
the brand’s overarching artistic and design vision with respect to
stores, e-commerce, marketing and advertising.
In 2016, Reed served as a creative collaborator for Tiffany with
the re-launch of a luxury accessories collection, which the Company
anticipates will debut for Holiday 2017.
Reed’s appointment to this new position continues Tiffany’s
mission for the past 180 years – to create the most important and
beautiful jewelry, accessories and objects for the home – and
advances its global commitment to excellence in design, using
exemplary materials and craftsmanship.
“Reed’s extraordinary talent and deep understanding of iconic
American design, and Tiffany’s defining role in its legacy, make
him poised for great success in this new position,” said Frederic
Cumenal, chief executive officer of Tiffany & Co. “His
expertise and creativity will continue to help build Tiffany as a
global house of luxury.”
A three-time CFDA Award winner, Reed is celebrated globally for
his contributions to the worlds of fashion, interior design and the
arts. Reed formerly served as president and executive creative
director of Coach, after holding a senior design role at Ralph
Lauren, and most recently helmed his eponymous luxury fashion line
of womenswear and accessories.
“I’m honored to join Tiffany as Chief Artistic Officer and fully
dedicate my creative focus to this storied American luxury brand,”
said Reed Krakoff. “The exceptional opportunity to further
Tiffany's rich creative legacy of design and craftsmanship, and
join the incredible talent within Tiffany, is truly inspiring.”
After three-and-a-half years, Francesca Amfitheatrof – who
served as Design Director and was responsible for the design of
Tiffany & Co. brand jewelry – will leave the Company to pursue
other opportunities. She has made important contributions to the
portfolio, and Tiffany is deeply grateful for the unique creative
perspective she brought to the brand.

York in 1837. Through its subsidiaries, Tiffany & Co.
