Creating a new position, J. Lindeberg has appointed Pierangelo D’Agostin to be design director of the Swedish golf apparel company, reporting directly to the company’s chief executive, Stefan Engström. His functions start with the spring/summer 2010 collection. D’Agostin worked previously for Jil Sander and other firms. Johan Lindeberg, founder of the company, will accompany D’Agostin as independent creative director.
Two new executives have been appointed at FGX Europe, a leading provider of ready-to-wear reading glasses in the U.K. and the owner of the brand Foster Grant. Chris Jones is now the managing director of this subsidiary of the U.S. company by the same name, after spending the last four years as its commercial director. He succeeds Stewart Pyrah, who left the company. Jonathan Miles, who has served as its finance director for two and a half years, takes up the new position of director of finance and operations.
