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. Then there was the kerfuffle around who is CEO of the Fashion Group, the umbrella division for fashion houses other than Louis Vuitton and Dior. The Fashion Group’s CEO left in April after three months. He was replaced by the division’s former boss, but his return was never officially confirmed, probably because it was evidence of how erratic the group’s management decisions can be. More on this below.

Italian designer Pierpaolo Piccioli is set to be appointed Fendi’s new creative director, several senior industry sources said. Piccioli is credited with having strengthened Valentino’s fashion authority, particularly in couture and evening wear, and growing the Italian brand into a €1.3 billion business during his 16-year tenure.

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.

Demand for watches globally appears to have passed its peak and many watchmakers have cut production, Johann Rupert, Richemont’s chairman, said at the group’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Geneva on Wednesday. Backtracking on plans announced a year ago, the South African billionaire also said that the group was no longer planning to create a beauty unit.

“Fashion Tales” is a new column for Miss Tweed by Catherine Lebrun, formerly in charge of heritage at Chloé. The column analyzes news through the prism of history. Diving into the past helps to understand the present and the future: if you want to know where to go, it’s always good to remember where you came from. This is Lebrun’s inaugural column.
