Designer Alessandra Facchinetti was recently announced creative director for Seoul-based fashion firm Harlan + Holden, that calls itself the world’s first ‘time-saving’ clothing brand. Facchinetti, 47, returns to a leadership position after her departure from Tod’s in May 2016, after a three-year stint at the Italian moccasin and leather specialist.

Founded in Manila in 2015 by Emmanuel Pineda, the brands retails apparel for men and women.

Facchinetti had previously been womenswear designer of Gucci for two years following the dismissal of Tom Ford in 2004. She said she appreciates the challenge and take on board the time-saving philosophy, especially in a time where the way we approach life is changing rapidly across cultures. Her first collection for Harlan + Holden, named 9bc, will be released in June, according to Asian fashion media reports.

The brand has hired star architect David Chipperfield to design its new flagship in Lotte Mall, Korea. Harlan + Holden boasts over 20 retail stores in South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines.
