A shake-up across the high-end fashion sector marks an unprecedented period of change

Victoria Feldman and Tomas Berzins’ ascent in fashion is a story not dissimilar to that of other emerging talents. The designers met in 2009 at French fashion school Esmod. During their studies, Berzins worked for Alexander Wang, while Feldman gained experience at LVMH-owned department store Le Bon Marché. When they graduated in 2011, they invested €10,000 in savings to launch their namesake brand Victoria/Tomas. “We had no business experience or contacts,” recalls Feldman. “We were just two yo…

The Dior leather bag supplier Milan investigators long had their eyes on was located close to the Via del Lavoro in the suburban city of Opera — or labour street. But behind its doors they uncovered employment practices of another age. They found evidence of illegally hired workers, forced to sleep inside the factory and work long hours, including nights and holidays, in an unsafe environment, according to a statement from the Milan prosecutor’s office. The Chinese-owned supplier would sell ba…

Customer loyalty has been on the decline. Ask the beauty experts and they’ll tell you that the sector is particularly susceptible because of the volume of new products, trends and information that consumers are bombarded with. And as younger generations embrace the excitement of trying the latest products, few shop entirely from one brand. Yet Los Angeles-based Merit Beauty has beaten the odds. On the “get ready with me” videos that flood TikTok, customers are loyal to Merit, only using product…

Fendi is undergoing a bit of a shake-up. Not only is it sitting out Haute Couture week in Paris in June, an executive reshuffle is also on the way: the brand’s chief executive of six years, Serge Brunschwig, is transitioning to a new, soon-to-be-announced role at parent company LVMH; taking his place at Fendi is Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou, who will also retain his current role as managing director of LVMH’s Fashion Group (the division that houses brands including Pucci, Kenzo, Stella McCartney a…

The luxury brand announces the opening of a new creative and cultural residence that promises to take client experience to the next level

It was the image that launched a social media sensation: football superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi hunched over a chess game set atop Louis Vuitton’s signature luggage. That 2022 campaign image broke the record at the time for most likes on Instagram. Now the world’s biggest luxury house, with more than €20bn in annual sales, is looking to capitalise once again on one of the sporting world’s biggest duos in a new campaign featuring rival tennis virtuosos Rafael Nadal and Roger Fede…

It’s not every day that two of the biggest forces in luxury retail come together in a room. But on this Friday afternoon, I am sitting on a circular stool in the office of Adrian Joffe, president of Dover Street Market. Alongside him is Carla Sozzani, a former editor and gallerist and the founder of 10 Corso Como. The two entrepreneurs, who are dressed largely in black, greet each other the way you would a very old friend. And that’s because they are, having known each other for over 40 years.…

When Jayne Goheen wanted to buy clothes for her twin daughters who turn five this year, she found herself frustrated with the limited options available. It was an unusual situation for her to be in, because the Los Angeles-based creative director and consultant usually knows where to shop. It’s how she amassed a vast fan base as one of the original style bloggers. (Her highly popular fashion and cultured-focused blog, Stop It Right Now, ran from 2009 to 2013.) Not only are choices lacking when…
