\u201cConsumers are voting more with their values … They don\u2019t want to wear your product as a badge.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

When Joanne Crevoiserat joined Tapestry as chief financial officer in August of 2019, she knew that some challenges lay ahead. The New York fashion conglomerate, which had shed Coach as its corporate brand name in 2017 after acquiring Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman, was struggling. Its share price was half what it was a year earlier, with factors like disappointing sales and the suicide of Spade\u2019s eponymous founder weighing on investors.<\/p>\n

Then came a global pandemic and fresh headlines about an old scandal that prompted Jide Zeitlin to resign as chairman and CEO of Tapestry in July 2020. Crevoiserat was named interim CEO, a promotion that was made permanent a few months later. The retail veteran since brought the company to double-digit growth and a place in conversations around innovation, sustainability and – of course – fashion.<\/p>\n

She sat down with Forbes<\/em> to discuss her career and perspective on the industry.<\/p>\n

Having worked at five divisions of May Company in five cities taught her the importance of \u201cstaying close to your customer and really understanding the the retailing business.\u201d At the same time, the disruption of the department-store business taught her the importance of innovating, ahead of technology and fashion trends. \u201cIf you’re selling a commodity, it became even more difficult to attract a customer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers are voting more with their values; they want to align themselves a brand that reflects their own,\u201d says Crevoiserat. \u201cThey don\u2019t want to wear your product as a badge. They want to wear your product to express their own individuality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fashion And Mental Health<\/h3>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

That means those who work for the brand have to be authentic, too. At Kate Spade, a brand that evokes an almost frenetically fun view of feminism with its candy-colored bags and you-go-girl quotes, that\u2019s meant bringing in a more sober acknowledgement of the challenges in maintaining mental health. \u201cThey’ve just opened and supported wellness pods on HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and University) campuses, notes Crevoiserat. \u201cTargeting mental well-being is core to what the brand really is.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of most important factors in success, she argues, is empathy: for the employees on the front lines, the consumers who want fashions that are exciting and sustainable, and for yourself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to say I’m a runner. I now call myself a jogger because it’s gotten much slower,\u201d she says. \u201cAs we talk to our teams, it is important to take the time to make sure you’re taking care of yourself in a way that can keep you centered.\u201d<\/p>\n
