Hi! I need to translate a presentation of a person working in a famous fashion company and the phrase is:
Sono XXXXX YYYYY Direttore della Prima Linea Uomo.
How would you translate his role in English?
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I did ... and there's absolutely nothing in English unfortunately.

You should Google him to see what he calls himself in English. Have a look at his LinkedIn profile.

neutral philgoddard : "Main menswear line" would be OK, but you've kept the Italian word order.

Chief Creative Officer - Men's Collection

Il drastico cambio di rotta arriva sotto la spinta della direttrice della scuola di Anversa Linda Loppa, con l’abbandono della carriera di industrial designer e la creazione della prima linea uomo sotto il suo nome nel 1995.

Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I think this is overtranslation for "direttore". And what about "prima"?

no idea until further context (it might be First Class Men's Collection, or a brand/collection name) / the person is easily found on the internet

director of the main menswear line/collection

I'd go for a literal translation. It may not even be his job title - it doesn't say "direttore prima linea" as in your question, it says "direttore della".
