Contemporary women's eveningwear label Galvan has announced the appointment of Paul O’Regan as its new Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Katherine Holmgren, who is taking up the new position of Commercial Director for the company. An Oxford graduate, Paul started his career in mergers and acquisitions on Wall Street, before joining Ralph Lauren – initially on the buying team, then switching to marketing and communications. He has since held several executive positions at Gucci Group (now Kering), Oscar de la Renta, Burberry and, most recently, AllSaints, and has spent his career working in both London and New York.

The London-based label was established in 2014 by four young women from the worlds of fashion and contemporary art – Anna-Christin Haas, Sola Harrison, Carolyn Hodler and Katherine Holmgren. The Galvan brand represents their shared vision for a more cosmopolitan approach to evening wear – luxurious yet effortless, fashion-forward yet timeless, and versatile enough to be styled differently and worn repeatedly. The brand has quickly become a firm favourite with celebrities for their red carpet appearances. The company launched its e-commerce platform in autumn 2016, and current stockists include Matches, Farfetch, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman.
