John Galliano does not plan to renew his five-year contract with Maison Margiela when it ends in October and could be heading back to his former employer LVMH, and more specifically Dior, several sources with knowledge of the matter said. If Galliano does return to the storied French house after being sacked in 2011 for antisemitic rants, it would send a strong message of forgiveness from LVMH and embody the most beautiful comeback the fashion world has ever seen, they said.

The passing of the baton to the new generation continued this week at LVMH with the promotion of Bulgari’s Chief Marketing Officer Laura Burdese to deputy CEO. It looks like the French luxury group is preparing the succession of Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin, 65, who has been running the brand for 11 years.

Across La Manche, a major leadership change also took place this week. Burberry appointed Joshua Schulman as CEO on Monday after issuing a profit warning and publishing a 22 percent drop in revenue for the 13 weeks to June 29.
Supreme is now part of eyewear empire EssilorLuxottica (EL). It used to be a cult streetwear brand and a retail pioneer with its so-called “drops” in stores that created excitement among fans. Now it’s going to become a massmarket brand. EL makes eyewear, it does not know how to run and build a fashion brand. The same logic applies to fragrance makers L’Oréal, Puig and Interparfums. They all own fashion brands but have never been able to turn them into real, impactful and meaningful businesses.

Now that a triumvirate is in place at Richemont with a powerful CEO and a new boss at Cartier and at Van Cleef & Arpels (VCA), the group’s two biggest brands, the most pressing governance question investors would like an answer to is who will be chairman once Johann Rupert is no longer there.

Cyrille Vigneron steps down as CEO of Cartier on Sept. 1, parent Richemont announced this week. That’s six months earlier than the Frenchman planned to retire, several industry sources said. Miss Tweed had reported in December that Vigneron was preparing to exit next year. Richemont Chairman and controlling shareholder Johann Rupert saw things differently.

The luxury investment community got excited this week when it found out that LVMH CEO and controlling shareholder Bernard Arnault had personally acquired a small stake in Richemont as part of his many investments. Immediately many people thought: Arnault is preparing a bid for Richemont, owner of the No. 1 jeweler Cartier and the success story Van Cleef & Arpels.

The man who understood everything about luxury was Karl Lagerfeld. Before he died on February 19th 2019, Lagerfeld was the last of the great couturiers still at work. For most people, the more they age, the less they want to work. For Lagerfeld, it was the opposite. Toward the end of his life, he was running out of time.

Karl Lagerfeld est celui qui a tout compris au luxe. Avant de s’éteindre le 19 février 2019, il était le dernier des grands couturiers encore en activité. Chez la plupart des mortels, plus on vieillit, moins on a envie de travailler. Pour Lagerfeld, c’était le contraire. Vers la fin de sa vie, le temps s’accélérait. Il avait encore tant de choses à dire et de robes à dessiner.
