Musical chairs in the fashion world seem to be spinning out of control these days. Jonathan Anderson’s expected arrival at Dior, as reported by Miss Tweed on Friday, will trigger many rounds. Anderson’s move to Dior – which parent LVMH has not confirmed yet – comes fresh on the heels of Hedi Slimane’s exit from Celine announced this week, replaced by Michael Rider who left Ralph Lauren in the spring.
Weekly highlights
The U.K.’s biggest Rolex retailer Watches of Switzerland has acquired Hodinkee, a trade publication and retailer specialized in watches, in which LVMH had a minority stake. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but lossmaking Hodinkee is likely worth a fraction of the $100 million it fetched in 2020 before the collapse of the second-hand watch market.

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.

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.
