Jacquemus has retained Rothschild & Co to help it find a minority investor willing to finance its ambitious store opening plans and expensive celebrity-peppered shows and events, several senior industry sources with first-hand knowledge of the matter said.
Until last year, Jacquemus was regarded as one of France’s most prominent success stories. It’s been hit by the luxury spending downturn, particularly online, where it makes a significant proportion of its sales. Turnover this year is expected to be down 15-20 percent, industry insiders say.

Dior’s love affair with sports keeps getting stronger. You wonder why. After a coldly received athleisure collection presented during Paris Fashion Week, the French brand on Oct. 14 unveiled a capsule collection designed by Kim Jones in collaboration with Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world Formula 1 champion. It was inspired by one of Hamilton's favorite pastimes: winter sports.

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.

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.

MILAN — Sabato De Sarno’s latest fashion show on Friday marked a slight improvement in terms of coolness and impact thanks to a Gucci collection brimming with elegant and glamorous outfits harking back to the 1960s. It was a natural evolution of the Italian designer’s style, oozing more maturity and self-confidence.
