Burberry Group Plc appointed former Bottega Veneta creative head Daniel Lee to succeed chief designer Riccardo Tisci, who is leaving the British fashion brand after five years.
Tisci’s departure completes a changing of the guard atop the luxury retailer and comes less than a week after Chief Financial Officer Julie Brown announced she was leaving to join drugmaker GSK Plc in a similar role.
