GO WEST: Expect a new face in the public relations ranks at the Fendi show on Monday: Kristine Westerby. Fendi North America has tapped her as its new vice president of marketing and communications, according to market sources. Westerby has held the same title at Christian Dior Americas, and her résumé includes stints at Max Mara, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Calvin Klein. At Fendi North America, she succeeds Paige Pedersen, who is leaving the company.
