Buyers Select focuses on key buyers, who share their favorite pieces from Pitti Connect brands.
Prior to a successful professional reconversion into the fashion industry at age 20, British-born fashion buyer Dean Cook had already begun a career as a professional footballer. After rapidly climbing the high-end retail ladder, notably as a head sales manager at Versace and Jil Sander, Cook joined iconic London luxury store Browns in July 2015, where he currently serves as a menswear buying manager. We caught up with the established buyer at this year’s 100th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo. Check out our on-site interview below.
