Bernal Heights Fashion

      How Jslow moved west to Los Angeles, I try to move to the west - the "suburbs" of western San Francisco.

I lived in my current apartment Nob Hill for 16 years, and after getting an estimate of $ 20,000 to re-carpet the stairs, hallway and living room in a beautiful floral Missoni, I realized how ridiculous it was to try something Beautiful of something that is better suited to make.

This apartment, my house, it was something crazy went off "sales rack" on real estate during the first dot-com bubble. It was a good thing, but too good to pass up and my ex-husband and I needed a place after they sold out of our lives privately owned.

This house has allowed me to depression, divorce, a down economy, which for me a home office Downsized and a blown appendix weather. He also praised the love of my life and two beautiful sets of shelter cats. But it is also the home of the spirits of the parts of my past I'd rather forget and can not turn the drunken shouts of twenty-somethings who have put down roots on the hill. It's time to go.

As we explore the neighborhoods and houses, analogies spring fashion in mind. I think it is obvious (see last post baseball analogy.) That my life far away from the fashion feels these days

Each district is like any other fashion brand with its own atmosphere, image, price to pay, as a result. Tory Burch Cow Hollow, Pacific Heights, Prada. Once you like a brand or a quarter, you tend to like most of their rooms or houses. But sometimes you can fall in love with a room or a house, a brand or an area that you do not fall in love - at least not yet.

In this sense, I drive a crowded bus 49 hot side of the Civic Center, along the edge of the network, through the Mission and Bernal Heights to see the outside, a little Victorian. Bernal Heights is a kind of Rachel Comey neighborhoods: cute, strong, independent, cool. Neighborhoods, and the brand, I would like to, but I never felt very comfortable in. But I try to keep an open mind and decide to "try" and see how I feel.

The way I try Bernal Heights, here are some Rachel Comey prime real estate that could suit me. It just goes to show, you never know. What is really the beauty of the hunt.

Acne: 10 things you need to know about the hot fashion brand

The name
Until 1996, the word "acne" was not very fashionable. Since acne - this really is the ambition to create novel expressions - began, but the label is no different than common skin condition known clearly announced. Jonny Johansson, one of the founders and now global creative director, said he liked the idea of ​​"possession of a difficult" word and make it cool. Playful with us, basically. But now Johansson, a gentle soul carries a MA1 flight jacket and Acne jeans is a little embarrassed. "I wish we had not mentioned it," he said. "People said it was a weird name, and I agree with them." Official title is now the brand Acne Studios.

Jeans
For acne began with four guys and a lot of idealism, they had the equivalent of writer's block. "If you make a modern brand, where do you start?" Johansson said. Jeans have worked because they were symbolic: "You might as well try to make Coca-Cola or do you go about it the wrong way" The first designs were simple, straight legs with distinctive red stitching you made 100 .. Couples and gave them "The Creative Children" in Stockholm. Soon Editorials Wallpaper * and French Vogue upturned. In the early noughties years acne has officially blipped on the radar of fashion.

The city
Before acne, the idea of ​​style Stockholm was probably more in the world of interior design and fashion. The brand - the most notable international level Sweden fashion brand H & M Bar - exports the eyes of his hometown layers, details of sportswear, prints and much black in the world would be almost £ 78m in the process in the last year. "If you're from Sweden, you grew up with Swedish design - it's in your DNA functionality," says Johansson. "We are often mistaken for minimalist, but we are very colorful nature and love."

Stores
You might think a brand like Acne hippie open in central London, Dalston. But if you are sensing a theme here, it's too obvious. Instead, the new branch is to open next month on Pelham Street in Brompton Cross - on the territory of yummy mummies that mom jeans. This predilection for the peripheral regions is played worldwide. His first shop in Paris is a converted garage that Schiller is "hard to find", while the flagship Stockholm admits in the old bank where the hostages were taken in 1973 and is the Stockholm Syndrome expression invented.

The Studio
If you need for a point of envy in the workplace to ensure studio famous fashion acne. A converted bank, the 16th Century comes, it has a new Frieze Art, labyrinthine rooms and a shared kitchen with birch benches, Barbara Hepworth sculpture and a work style of carved green marble. And that's not even mentioning the people of this utopia style. A team on the day includes lunch, visits Guardian girl with purple hair, handsome men in the modernist glass and Hamish Bowles of American Vogue.

Pink
Acne like nothing better than to do something a little wrong with the height of cool. See her pink brand that covers all her shopping bags, merchandising and stationery. "I told Johnny that was evident bags", says Mikael Schiller, executive president of the brand, a typical acne has crumpled along with classic brogues mac. "He went full on. Butch now see these guys walking around with pink bags."

The gun boat
You know, these boots with the heel and chunky zips? You can thank them for acne. Your version, launch, which goes for about £ 380, was copied from the high street shops around the world and has been selling brand. Conceived as "a mix of cowboy and motorcycle riding boots," says Johansson, he believes that his success is due to the old boring practice. "It is high time, in the wrong places - Scandinavia, Great Britain," he said. "The girls in London Sandals run in the middle of winter, so if you offer a rough and cool design, it is a success."

Collaborations
Get Acne - a brand associated with a model-off-duty style and let the long-legged people in general - that he would love to work with you and expect it edgy about a new label tell you never heard of. Wrong. "Rolex" says Johansson. This kind of fresh annoyance is the key to acne. So far, the brand with Snowdon, the 83-year-old British photographer, Candy, the Spanish magazine for transvestites and Lanvin has worked. "What unites them all is a form of humor," says Johansson. "Do you have a quirkiness to them."

Chairs
Prior to his work in fashion, Johansson played with furniture. He showed he still the gift of a furniture brand in 2010 published -. "To find the heritage of Swedish design" to, he said he was referring. Nya Berlin sofa by Carl Malmsten made in the 20s for the Swedish Embassy in the German capital in the style typical acne, but they are wrong with it: Put the drawings in Illustrator and the result is a stretching. Hybrid: long and slender perfect furniture for fashion people.

Fans
Acne no more than 10% of the court wearing fashionable clothes, they do anyway. Celebrities like Rihanna, Alexa Chung and first true Yasmin Sewell would regularly photographed also something that many other brands for kill - or at least to pay through the nose. This is not how acne. "We have never paid anyone and we do not want," says Johansson. "That does not mean that we do not like celebrities wearing our clothes, but this strategy is cold and hard and long. Our brand is the product. If you start from there, everything else will fall into place."

survey of the "senators" of Italian fashion

      
      MILAN, Italy - For several years, the international fashion industry has been on the decline of the Milan Fashion Week and the waning influence of Italian fashion as a whole was whispering. In fact, with rising asset Fashion Weeks in New York City (commercial hotspot fashion world) and London (creative hotspot industry), and remains a priority of Paris, the most important fashion capital of the world for business and creativity, Milan suffered a kind of existential crisis.

What is the Italian fashion really are? And how its once dominant position can be restored?

In recent months, the Italian heavyweights such as Giorgio Armani and Donatella Versace aired their views on this subject. But a press conference on Sunday morning, at which several leading figures in the creation of the Italian fashion came together to discuss the future of Italian fashion, the first public signal was that they finally took notice A problem creeping has past in the years.

Her first major action was to appoint new members of the Board of Directors of the Camera Nazionale della Moda brand refresh Italiana (CNMI), including big guns like Gildo Zegna, Patrizio Bertelli and Diego della Valle. In a significant gesture of power described, each new member a new strategic issues The Council adopted to guide the direction of the Italian brands in Italy, made the unit and the connections to the lifestyle, art and culture.

First up was a long-time president, Mario Boselli, the highly respected introduced as the new Vicar Vice President CNMI Patrizio Bertelli, CEO of Prada Group. Mr. Bertelli said in the name of the new Italy, "senators fashion" and said that despite the messages remain on the contrary, the foundation of the Italian fashion system strong.

"There are no major problems and challenges of Italian fashion today. Excluding Italy, the system of the entire fashion would be in chaos," he said, referring to the essential role that play factories, Italian manufacturer in producing luxury products for global brands "Made in Italy ".

Mr. Gildo Zegna, CEO of Ermenegildo Zegna and new Vice President of the CNMI that fashion is an important pillar of the Italian economy, which employs more than a million people. The "name of the game is the unity," Mr. Zegna said, noting that cooperation with other relevant institutions of the Italian fashion - Pitti Immaggine, Milano Unica, Alta Moda - is a priority.

Finally, Diego Della Valle, president of death Group, another new addition to the CNMI said the device was not effectively communicate with the press and their counterparts in other countries. "It's not that complicated," he began, "at least we have access to our country. We should be able to show you how this country is something special. We want to act as an ambassador."

But immediately after the speech planned cracks on the surface of the new strategy began to appear. One by one, beginning with Godfrey Deeny, Fashion Editor at large of Figaro, the members of the international fashion press asked specific questions about the major issues that have been raised by members of the CNMI assembled this what cumbersome to some, and sometimes heated exchanges.

Deeny noted that the term "unit" sounded a little hollow without the participation of Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani, which had both decided to join the CNMI. According to Mr. Boselli, gentlemen Dolce & Gabbana chose not a recent invitation to the organization, a position they have held for the last 12 years come to accept. Boselli went on to say that he believes that the position of Mr. Armani will soon change remained, however, the CNMI had the first of two unspecified conditions of Mr. Armani met as a condition for participation. In the past, Mr. Armani has said he would not have brought their shows in the CNMI to brands such as Valentino and Miu Miu, to return to Milan. And after the show Monday Emporio Armani Men Armani held his land. "Nothing has changed and I'm not attached to the camera"

Suzy Menkes was next to take a hit, saying that the CNMI unfortunately was out of step with the digital age. The group responded with clear statistics about the traffic and said the site was now shows pictures online. Never mind sharp, Menkes asked why no one had emailed him about these new developments, re-emphasized a lack of communication with the outside world CNMI bubble of Italian fashion. As of today, the time of the Milan Fashion Week should always be downloaded in PDF format.

Then a journalist for Agence France Press is said that the new board is far from young and no women had been invited to speak (most of the members are men in their fifties and sixties). The panel bristles observation and from there things in scrappy defense reactions.

There was not a young designer at the press conference on Sunday and the problems of young designers from Italy have faced either in the prepared remarks or press release addressed later. As I see it, this is the biggest problem of the Italian fashion that lacks a support system to systematically identify, nurture and invest in the next generation of Italian luxury brands. More than art and culture, it is the young designers, the new energy to fashion week in Milan can bring dominated by big brands. As my friend Alex Fury noted in his review of the Dolce & Gabbana show this weekend, "Milano is dominated by companies whose grip on the industry has in place for decades. Sometimes handle feels more than a self-hold, strangled oxygen to new talents. "

So when my turn to ask the Board was, I focused on their plans to support young designers. Mr. Boselli said that it was in fact one of the priorities of the CNMI and that from this September, young designers are no longer relegated impossible time intervals at the beginning and end of the Milan Fashion Week. A space dedicated presentation can be created to demonstrate their talent and take a page from the playbook of Mr. Armani, meet the CNMI young designers with experienced designers who can provide mentoring and other support, such as Armani has with the young Menswear designer Andrea Pompilio this season, giving him. possible, show room in their own fashion show

These are useful and promising plans, but the omission of the highlights of their official releases, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana seemed to say that the central question before not mind. Italian culture and craftsmanship "Made in Italy" are obviously a very important part of the future of fashion in Italy. But young brands and designers, they are only with the designers from Italy and outside mastodons companies currently dominate the Italian fashion system to ship.

It is therefore a great number of fashion magnates of the country came together to the challenges faced by the Italian fashion is certainly a step in the right direction. Like Natalie Massenet CFB or Diane von Furstenberg of the CFDA - - but in the end, this observer at least that's what is lacking, especially in the countryside of the Italian fashion, a leader with a clear and inspiring vision is a concrete that all large and hopefuls can kahunas to collect.

The last 'Fashion Queen: A happy weird little show casing his first season

 More than one person asked me if "Fashion Queen" is real. You are not a joke, either. If a show was more like a skit "Saturday Night Live" a real program, this is the one.

The focus on fashion talk show that cross-dressing hairdresser Atlanta Derek J and Miss Lawrence (also to fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" known), and New York City "maven" Smith English fashion, seems to have a budget around $ 25, give or take. Much of what seems to be spent on the cushion of the wall of the set, shoes and wigs background. Yes, background wigs. I think we should be feeling as if we sit in the closet a Star "Real Housewives," but it could be a little closer to the boudoir of a porn star.

The show is supposed to be a sassy, ​​sarcastic summary of do's and don'ts for the week, but it is usually more basic than anything else. Really, sometimes it seems that most of the conversation exclusively composed of slang. If you played a "Queens fashion" drinking game that requires you take a sip every time someone says, "No T no shadow" Ingestion and when someone asked. "Was it a read" you suffer alcohol toxicity before the first commercial break, the action takes place in front of a studio audience, we really notice when you see a bad eye on the red carpet (hooting!).

But "Fashion Queen" is not too different from E s! "Fashion Police", although the show has a real actor (Joan Rivers) with writers paid wit and an expert in real mode (George Kotsiopoulos). "Fashion Queen" is more like hanging out in a hair salon and listening to people who., The latest issue of Us bitch who best when they read it was cut bangs

Strangely, it's part of the charm of the show. All cheap, the seemingly improvised banter and do public access TV-esque look at a fresh look at a familiar format. Yes, it is hard to believe that this is a network, but it is almost a relief, something that does not feel, well scripted (not for most reality shows can be said to see the network).

I can not really think of another show that starts with the stars compared designer labels they carry, and while the trio has no sense of simple diffusion of old friends, they seem to listen to s. Crowd that the bulk of the work to the conversation next to Miss Lawrence and Derek J was in motion and reading introductions, maybe one or the other man (e), but it is also the fastest on his feet. It seems that the two more time in choosing high heels than on thinking about what to say to wear, but since the whole show is the importance of what the outside looks that clearly is not the worst. Check out the three together, they seem to enjoy when Miss Lawrence seems often striking poses they perfected in the mirror of the bathroom before the shooting. This is not necessarily a bad thing either. It turns a great pose, and you'll never see lipstick expertly applied external "RuPaul's Drag Race."

I hope that if returns "mode Queens", it does not change much, if at all. An entertaining game or neat handwriting would probably ruin everything. Really.

this is really not that things Prada

Prada seems, and here modern carpet Michael Kors Totes bagbag, nylon, velvet, instead of the old material this time. Seems to be what was going on here was carpet Prada bag today, and this time made of nylon and velvet instead of the older material. I think partially successful, where it is possible to see his goal in the final product, but it is difficult to see pictures of the bag and go, "Yes, exactly, that's exactly what bag carpet talk must be" The pattern looks vaguely like the slogan of worship, and I'm not colored Mustard pay me 1500labels as part of the Dharma Initiative.

 Sorry, Prada. Greater effort next time. I have seen some very nice bag You have a group of Prada handbags nostalgia?Now I carry two bags is the classic Prada bag, which countless women envious, and I think that this is still a beautiful memory. Prada Tote Tessuto Ricamo, I am sure, is Valentino. Part of the reason is because the package in detail the difficulty of filming, but in this part is because it really seems like we have seen recently some Valentino bag. To be worthy of belief is hardly a matter of concern, with a great theme, flower ... This is your thing. , And this is really not that things Prada - more stylized aesthetics and modernization, especially in the packaging department. I see it, it becomes more pronounced, should Miuccia left their compatriots in Italy. Sequins and configuration of nylon, and started, simply do not work, not even a little bit. Valentino this trick is really doing a great job, as it's in the bag from chaos to order

The "sport" of gender in  perfumes for men is not new, but a flurry of activity in the first half of this year has seen most homes add a "sport" edition of its portfolio of smell thanks in part to high-profile events this summer. Thus, a launch in the fall Prada could suggest that there, well, you missed the boat.

Sport fragrances are characterized by hints of citrus and Ozonic, but strongly Luna Rossa has lavender. Andrier said that this is the first example of its use in the last time for a perfume with a wide audience.

In February 1997, Patrizio Bertelli (informally known as Mr. Prada) had a brief conversation with German Frers yachtdesigner. It was enough to convince you to create your own racing team to participate in the prestigious Copa America, and Prada Luna Rossa Challenge was born. Piranha and swordfish, the two ships were designed from scratch in 15 days and a whole crew came together to start training a few months of the Louis Vuitton Cup 2000.

"We look forward to a new way of doing Michael Kors Walletthings this fragrance" he explains, "is reminiscent of the sea and the sport, but we chose not to make scent very sea instead chose lavender ,. One of the most amazing ingredients we have and is increasingly rare. bitterorange with the essence which gives a clean feeling very masculine.

heads LVMH Sephora as growth slows for Louis Vuitton

  PARIS, France - Justine Sassier would not be caught dead buying a Louis Vuitton bag.

"You have no choice," the 18-year-old art student named said $ 1.340 handbags Monogram brand when shopping on the Champs Elysees in Paris.

Luckily for the owner Vuitton, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, the crazy Sassier € 13.90 ($ 18) from Sephora foundation, perfume sold is a rapidly growing company and cosmetics. "I love her makeup," she said. "And that is a reasonable price."

With sales growth slowing Vuitton Barcelona to Beijing, the purchaser of the beauty found as Sassier is increasingly important for LVMH. Curb as buyers spend $ 940 Neverfull bags splurge on $ 31 Dior Addict Lipstick, Sephora is unit of LVMH Selective Retailing beyond fashion and leather goods, as his biggest business in 2018, estimates Sanford Bernstein. This can be better than its competitors like LVMH PPR SA Weather laid stagnant demand luxury.

"Sephora is a category killer," Sanford Bernstein analyst Mario Ortelli said. Investors fear that sales are fading to keep Vuitton brand "LVMH careful."

The owner of more than 60 brands - Dom Perignon Champagne Bulgari Jewelry - LVMH reported in April, the lowest fashion and leather goods sales in more than three years. The shares are up 1.6 percent this year in Paris, against an increase of 19 percent for PPR and an increase of 20 percent for Cie. Financiere Richemont SA.

LVMH Selective Retailing division, which includes Paris department store Le Bon Marché and operator of duty-free shops DFS and Miami Cruiseline Services, accounted for 28 percent of 2012 sales.

Ortelli recommend buying LVMH and PPR maintenance. LVMH sales by 7.5 percent moved forward this year, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg. This is faster than analysts predicted growth of 5.2 percent for PPR.

Sephora is the introduction of services such as mobile payments and expand their own label, to keep the consumer sector. It also expands in Latin America and Asia, to attract consumers to the middle class, to stimulate growth in emerging markets.

However, PPR is from the supermarket. The company aims to spin off its media and electronics chain Fnac and have online fashion provider La Redoute this year. It is also close to shops and sporting goods manufacturer Puma SE, as she fights falling non-luxury sales.

LVMH Selective Distribution division has an annual turnover of 14.7 billion € 2017, estimates Sanford Bernstein. 13 percent annual growth of income of the unit, driven by Asian and Latin American customers, nearly double the estimate of the company for the LVMH fashion bags business "and about three euros monitor forecasts for luxury in general.

Slowing demand for luxury is not unique to LVMH. After Bulimia property of Rolex watches Hermes Birkin bags, consumers reduced their spending as the failure of the economy. The consumption is lower in Europe, Taiwan and Korea, "China is not as dynamic as it was two years ago was," PPR Chief Financial Officer Jean-Marc Duplaix said in April by Brand Gucci reported its lower sales growth since 2009, excluding currency fluctuations.

However, Sephora and DFS are growing. New stores in Shanghai and Hong Kong have a 17 percent sales splurge in the first quarter compared to the selective-commerce as an emerging middle class in the region on similar goods fueled Bobby Brown cosmetics and Johnnie Walker whiskey. LVMH fell executives available to discuss the business.

Offers a wide range of treatments and fragrances was the key to the success of Sephora, since it was founded in 1969. Takeover by LVMH in 1997 it was the largest retailer in the beauty of the world, with around 1,300 branches in 27 countries. Sephora plans to open approximately 120 stores by the year 2017, estimates Sanford Bernstein.

There are no multi-competitor who covers the support of LVMH as many regions as Sephora and Ulta competitors such as the United States and in France Nocibé SA do not have the resources they enjoy. Sephora has 27 percent of the retail market of beauty in France, 12 percent in the U.S. and 15 percent in China, Sanford Bernstein said.

At the end of the Sephora on the Champs Elysées € 30.30 Dior products like false eyelashes "iconic" a line of house-label extensions retailers sits down € 9.90. Known brands, loyalty cards and services such as nail bars near the entrance lure shoppers inside, while the organization provides goods by the customer to choose between similar products to a wide range of prices.

"Their business model is very clever," said Joel Palix, president of Clarins Fragrance Group sells Thierry Mugler fragrances from Sephora. Storage means Sephora exclusive products may restrict discounts, and private label merchandise margins are high, he said.

It's a similar story at DFS. The company was founded in 1960, and LVMH bought a stake in 1996. Today, the distributor sells more than 100 brands of Juicy Couture for Absolut vodka, in 14 countries. New and improved shops in airports and shopping areas of the city where travelers can buy goods and a refund of VAT when they leave the country, which means "DFS well positioned to benefit from the growth in Asian tourism," said Magali Dubreil , an analyst at Planet Retail researcher.

While the benefits of selective distribution to increase the pace of LVMH's fashion and leather goods division before interest and taxes by 24 percent per year until 2017, three times, according to Sanford Bernstein, the less profitable than other parts of the business. Vuitton alone represents more than 5.9 billion euros half of LVMH's operating profit in 2012, Exane BNP Paribas estimates. The advantage of selective distribution is € 854 million last year - or 14 percent of LVMH.

But the mass market of LVMH Sephora and DFS provides an attractive investment Vuitton raises prices, more leather in their collections and limit the expansion of the business in order to appear more exclusive, says Exane BNP Paribas analyst Luca Solca.

Perfumes and cosmetics are the main tool to attract customers ambitious Solca said. In hundredths of a lipstick costs the price of a Vuitton handbag and a thousandth of a window, "perfumes and cosmetics is the luxury of the masses," he said.

Louis Vuitton owner face in fine luxury rowLouis Vuitton owner face fine in the luxury line

  A battle between French luxury handbag manufacturers distributed in the public eye on Friday with regulators investigating the maximum fine for Louis Vuitton owner LVMH (LVMH.PA) for non-implementation of the initiatives reveal a game rival Hermes (HRMS.PA) to build.

The series revolves around human beings, for the first time in late 2010 most of the owner LVMH and France's Bernard Arnault man who introduced the company with the participation of nearly one-fifth of its great rival on the left, the producer of the famous Kelly and Birkin handbags.

Arnault of LVMH built regularly acquisition of other brands of the last decade, says he is happy to remain a long-term shareholder, while some industry observers may hope to say play a long game, one day, to convince sell the owner of the Hermes family.

Hermes owners have fought tooth and nail against Arnault, but had acquired an initial 14 per cent since the discovery of LVMH.

Regulator AMF said on Friday that relations LVMH were unclear about their participation in the Hermes and presented a serious offense that will be pulled even considered "cheating."

LVMH, which now owns 22.6 percent of Hermes, the stock market surprised in October 2010, when he announced that he bought a 14 percent partly through derivatives, which had allowed him not report their participation.

The AMF said LVMH in its financial statements should disclose the size of its exposure to equities by the Hermes shares in 2008 and purchased from the fact that he had acquired a stake in Hermes nearly 5 percent in 2001 and 2002.

In France, companies are required to disclose when they take if the destination listed on the stock exchange a share of more than 5, 10 and 15 percent of the capital of another company.

Hermes is also difficult LVMH stake in a separate trial. The final AMF will not affect the judicial process, but still a boost for Hermès.

The amount of the fine, 10 million euros ($ 13.05 million) is small change for a group with a market value of around € 70 billion, but the regulator's decision is a setback for public relations Arnault, who has over 60 luxury brands.

HERMES ATTRACTION

Arnault owns Louis Vuitton, the largest luxury brand in the world in terms of revenue, with a chain of wine and spirits makers, including the Hennessy cognac and Moet & Chandon.

He built the group into a world power in the space of 15 years, through the acquisition of brands such as Guerlain and Chateau d'Yquem. Own spectacular growth in the Hermes brand is worth more than 3 billion Euros annual turnover is wet his appetite.

The hearing revealed that largest luxury group in the world in 2007 and 2008, Lazard and Rothschild had hired bankers, the possibility of gaining control of Hermes and an alliance with some family members discuss shareholders.

Since the release of their participation Hermes LVMH has always denied seek control of Hermes and denied any wrongdoing in relation to disclosure and transparency.

Hermes is controlled by three families, Puech, Dumas and Guerrand representing more than 75 descendants of Emile Hermes, who founded the company in 1837 as a harness and saddlery.

They responded to LVMH interest accumulation by creating a portfolio that controls 51 percent of the company if the AMF investigation also revealed that the largest shareholder Nicolas Puech Hermes family had sold some of its shares in LVMH.

This raises the question as to the claim that public Hermès family was united in the fight against LVMH.

Earlier Friday, said the AMF, it would have to consider the attractiveness of LVMH for the judicial process to be invalidated, but it would not stop the process. The Disciplinary Committee of the AMF within a couple of weeks to meet the results of the controller and the proposed end.
