Previously Christiane worked for St. John Knits and Escada. Maerz will report directly to Andrew Forbes, Chief Operations Officer.

Taryn Rose changed the footwear industry in 1998 by creating a line of luxury footwear that was functional as well as fashionable. Formally trained as an orthopedic surgeon, Rose saw patients with many serious foot problems that were caused by fashion footwear.
Her idea of being well dressed with a sense of well-being touched a nerve with women from coast to coast, creating a dedicated following for her footwear collection.
Taryn Rose has four freestanding stores: Beverly Hills, New York, Las Vegas and San Jose. Taryn Rose is also available at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and Harrods UK this summer.
