The promotion comes as Filippa K focuses on international expansion. The brand said Forssenius has already begun shaping the company’s future direction around her strong vision for its structure and values.

She recently oversaw the hiring of Anna Teurnell as the brand’s creative lead.

Earlier this month, Filippa K announced that it had appointed Ida Petersson as a board member as it looked to benefit from her experience of working with luxury retailers such as Harvey Nichols, Net-a-Porter and Browns.
