VF Corp-owned brand, Timberland has appointed Darren McKoy as its new Global Vice President-Product Design and Creative Direction. He previously served as the Creative Director for Dr Martens for three years.
This marks a return to VF Corp for McKoy, who was earlier engaged as the Product Manager-EMEA, The North Face from December 2010 to February 2012.
The announcement comes just months after McKoy departed the iconic UK footwear brand Dr. Martens in January. At Dr Martens, he progressed through various roles since joining in 2015.
His extensive career also includes stints at Adidas, Mamas & Papas, and Asics, in addition to his prior role at The North Face. At Timberland, McKoy will be engaged in managing the brand’s boots business.
This isn't the only significant creative appointment Timberland has made this year. In February, the brand named Drew Villani as its Global Creative Director, Marketing. Having previously worked at Calvin Klein, Villani is tasked with bringing Timberland's creative vision to life across all facets of brand marketing.
