Hunter has recruited Burberry Prorsums former senior womenswear designer, Niall Sloan, as its global design director.
Niall spent ten years working on a number of key roles at Burberry and now hes bringing his expertise to another classic British brand.
The news follows a series of high profile recruits to Hunter: Alasdhair Willis serial creative entrepreneur and Mr Stella McCartney joined Hunter in February as creative director.
The boot brand, which was established in 1856, is a favourite of fashionable festival goers including Kate Moss and Sienna Miller.
And CEO James Seuss is understandably excited about assembling his new high-fashion swat team.
I am very pleased that Hunter has been able to attract such a talented group of individuals to join our team, as we continue to build this iconic brand, he says. Starting with autumn/winter 2014, we plan to unveil a new brand and product direction, now that our senior management team is in place.
These boots are made for evolving: watch this space.
