German online fashion retailer Mytheresa announced this week it was acquiring Yoox-Net-A-Porter (YNAP) from Cartier owner Richemont. The long-awaited deal removes a major thorn in the side of Richemont and puts an end to more than 14 years of having to disburse hundreds of millions of euros on botched IT projects and on covering YNAP’s losses every year.

Stefano Cantino was named CEO of Gucci this week. The 57-year-old Italian has the toughest job in the industry. Turning around Gucci with sales collapsing in China and a designer who does not appear fit for this position. It’s not going to be an easy ride.
Fendi is parting ways with Kim Jones, artistic director of womenswear and couture, LVMH announced on Friday. LVMH said the British designer, who had taken over from Karl Lagerfeld in 2020, would “concentrate on his role of Artistic Director at Dior Men's” from now on.

Anna Wintour may not have it her way in the end. The powerful Vogue editor, who has been lobbying LVMH boss Bernard Arnault for months to take back John Galliano for Dior, as Miss Tweed reported in July, ultimately could not convince him. It’s Jonathan Anderson, the Northern Irish designer who has turned Loewe into a huge success, who’s going to get the job, several senior industry sources said.

Tension is high at LVMH, with heads rolling among the higher echelons of the group. If we talk just about CEOs, this year alone the leaderships of many brands and divisions have changed.
Starting with watches, there has been a new division head and new bosses for TAG Heuer and Hublot, then in fashion, new chiefs for Fendi and Givenchy.
