Ed Filipowski, KCD co-chairman and chief strategist has died at 58.
Filipowski died at his New York home Friday morning, stemming from complications from a recent surgery, according to KCD.
“As co-chairman and chief strategist of KCD, Ed led the global agency for over 30 years and leaves a legacy as a champion of the fashion industry with his unbridled optimism and spirit,” according to a statement released Friday afternoon. Alongside long-time co-chairman Julie Mannion, Filipowski ran the public relations firm, an industry leader, for more than three decades. He was known as one of the most influential executives in a high-pressure, difficult business.
KCD’s divisions include media services, fashion show and event production, fashion services, digital and entertainment and technology. Its clients ranged from Bulgari, Coach, Prada, Givenchy and Derek Lam to 3.1 Philip Lim, Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, and Versace. Filipowski arrived at the agency when it was called Keeble Cavaco & Duka, two years after its start. When co-founders John Duka and Kezia Keeble died in 1989 and 1990 respectively, Filipowski and Mannion informally inherited the public relations firm, working alongside Paul Cavaco. In 1991, they were appointed partners and in 1993, they re-named the firm KCD after Cavaco left to join Harper’s Bazaar.
