Diane von Furstenberg confirmed with Fashion Network on Monday the appointment of Marc Menesguen as co-chairman of the company. The appointment is effective immediately.

 
Menesguen joins DVF from L’Oréal where he most recently served as President of Consumer Products Division. Menesguen worked over 30 years at L’Oréal and held numerous positions at the company, including Managing Director of Strategic Marketing Department at L'Oreal Australia in 2011, and at L’Oréal Canada and L’Oréal India in 2005. He also served as President of L'Oréal Luxury Products, and EVP of Strategic Marketing Department.
 
The appointment follows several changes at DVF including a new look and logo.

In addition, former CEO Paolo Riva stepped down from the company in November after less than two years with the company.
