Inter Parfums, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: IPAR) (“Interparfums” or the
“Company”) today announced the election of Gerard Kappauf
(“Kappauf”), to its board of directors, effective September 14,
2023. The Company also announced the retirement of two directors,
Michel Dyens and Patrick Choël, reducing the size of the board to
nine members, of which five are independent.
“We are delighted to welcome Kappauf to our board. We are
confident that Kappauf’s perspective on fashion, luxury, culture,
and the art of living will bring diversity of viewpoints to our
board of directors. I want to thank Michel and Patrick for their
many years of service and their invaluable contributions and
insights,” said Jean Madar, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
of Interparfums.
About Gerard Kappauf (“Kappauf”)
Kappauf, age 61, an independent director who was elected for the
first time to our board of directors on September 14, 2023, was
born in Madagascar. After studying Classic Literature at the
Sorbonne in Paris, he attended the San Francisco Art Institute on a
scholarship and worked as a special effects make-up artist in Los
Angeles. Upon traveling to Paris, Kappauf became interested in
fashion and worked at a Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show. Thanks to
this experience, he began to expand his network by meeting
emblematic figures in the industry such as Paco Rabanne. While
providing marketing and acquisition consulting services to L’Oréal
Group during the tenure of Lindsay Owen Jones as its Chairman, in a
bid for independence and emancipation, he founded his own magazine
in 1992, Citizen K.
Through Citizen K, he realized his ambition to launch a major
magazine for a wide audience on fashion, luxury, culture, and the
art of living, truly different from the magazines already in
existence. Citizen K magazine then became Citizen K International
in 2012, a benchmark in fashion, luxury, and lifestyle. Kappauf
expanded the magazine’s offering with the launch of Citizen K Homme
in 2013, and 2014 was the year of change for Citizen K
International with a new format and a fresh look.
In 2016, Kappauf launched Citizen K Arabia. This title,
distributed in the Middle East, benefits from editorial development
and format adapted to the market. Although 80% of Citizen K
International’s editorial content is contained in Citizen K Arabia,
this magazine still features 20% of content tailored to The
Emirates and the Middle East. In 2021, Kappauf launched The
Kurator, the first a-gender magazine in the Middle East, as a
luxury supplement to Gulf News, the leading daily newspaper in the
region.
Founded in January 1992 by Kappauf, he has been the Chief
Executive Officer, and Creative and Editorial Director of the K
Groupe since inception, which owns Citizen K magazines in Paris, as
well as Enkore Studio in Dubai. Enkore Studio specializes in visual
brand identity, digital content, storytelling and concept
development for the fashion, luxury, beauty, and lifestyle
industries. Kappauf now lives in Dubai and is currently working on
projects in India.
