Jen Sey

Pakistan’s denim apparel exports to the US have overtaken China’s, thanks to local entrepreneurs who have built a vertically-integrated manufacturing hub in the South Asian nation.

This week, the owner of Coach and Kate Spade named Joanne Crevoiserat as its new chief, while Jen Sey was named brand president amid an executive reshuffle at the American denim company.

Levi’s is also launching a second hand site this week as brands bet on new business models to connect with consumers and navigate the pandemic.

For most of its 166-year history, Levi’s was known solely for its jeans. But in the last few years it’s built T-shirts and tops into a $1 billion business.
