Fashion career profile

Eva Erdmann

Eva Erdmann is a German consumer and retail executive and the Chief Executive Officer and Brand President of Kate Spade New York. Before joining Tapestry, she built leadership experience at L'Oréal and spent many years at Christian Dior Parfums, followed by responsibility for international business at lifestyle retailer Urban Outfitters. Tapestry appointed Erdmann to lead Kate Spade effective October 2024, succeeding Liz Fraser. Her remit covers the brand globally, including strategy, growth and operations. The directory keeps that management role separate from the collaborative product-design structure created after Nicola Glass's departure; it does not infer a single creative director where the company has not announced one. Kate Spade is connected to Tapestry, and brand net sales remain distinct from the parent's consolidated figures. The effective date and scope come from Tapestry's official appointment release.
