Everlane appoints new CEO

Everlane has appointed Alfred Chang to the role of chief executive officer at the U.S. sustainable fashion brand, effective immediately.

Chang will work alongside Everlane founder Michael Preysman, who is continuing as executive chairman and climate lead of the fashion brand, according to a WWD report.

A luxury and fashion veteran, Chang joins Everlane from luxury streetwear brand Fear of God, where he also served as CEO. Prior to that,  Chang worked 17 years at PacSun, where he finished up as co-CEO of the U.S. youth fashion retailer. 

“[Chang] has a proven track record in transforming brands by delivering incredible products and scalable growth. I’m confident that under his leadership, Everlane will continue to push boundaries in sustainable fashion and elevate our brand to new heights,” said Preysman.

Chang replaces Andrea O’Donnell, who became CEO of Everlane in 2021, who left the U.S brand for fellow American footwear firm Designer Brands, where she was appointed brands president and executive vice president, in January.

“I could not be more excited about the opportunity to join Everlane, a brand that represents a modern and innovative approach to sustainable fashion,” said Chang.

“Everlane’s commitment to sustainability and transparent practices matter, and I’m eager to work alongside the talented team to further elevate the brand, our product offerings and industry leadership.”
