John Galantic, president and chief operating officer of Chanel Inc., is stepping down from his role.
Galantic’s resignation was announced internally last Wednesday. His plans were not available for comment Monday. Through initiatives such as Sunrun, Chanel Community, and the Racial Justice Fund, Galantic drove sustainability and social commitment.
Alain Wertheimer, global executive chairman of Chanel, and Leena Nair, global chief executive officer, emailed a letter to employees last week, noting that under Galantic’s leadership, the U.S. achieved its highest ever Voice of Client scores and gained in brand equity results. Galantic has been a director at Bacardi, and a non-executive director at Ferrari. Bernard Arnault is looking for directors for his 500 billion euro group.

Lord Arnault met with Wang Wentao, Chinese Minister of Commerce. This is starting to look messy after the French President’s controversial visit to Dior on Avenue Montaigne in Paris just after the man, who passed Normal Sup. three times, finished his visit to China earlier this month. But, this lady of the Elysée, who is dressed by the group, might be “enjoying” it!
The luxury group has old and intense links with the communist party, and in Luxury, to reach what you want to achieve, will owe you all the vileness of the world. For me, a hint of freedom will never be freedom, but the new rich decorate their contemporary cave with the trappings of a squire, and in the end, the only thing bohemian owns are their tableware. In Jean Yanne’s film, “Les Chinois à Paris”, he doesn’t really make fun of the Chinese, but more of the French, of their past close to collaboration and of the intellectual fashions of the time for the naive and unmeasured infatuation of many French intellectuals for Marxism-Leninism, very “Montant”!
I am a man slightly living in a heavily compromised world, and while Wang congratulates himself on the strength and diversity of the commitment of the world’s largest luxury group in China, I only see the commercial exchanges of a waxed canvas bag for two Pandas at the Beauval Zoo, a real cultural compromise, indeed!

Sidney Toledano, chairman and CEO of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, is moving on to another role within the French luxury group LVMH. The same old story: the people who go up are the same people you see when they come down.
At the annual shareholders meeting, Mr. Arnault was pleased to thank Mr. Toledano for his leadership over the past three decades at LVMH.
“I wanted to highlight the exceptional work he has done. He is not leaving. He will be moving on to other roles,” Arnault said. I had the feeling that I was in the serie of Trumps “the Apprentice” and the director says to sydney, you are fired.
“We will continue to work together in a different setting. I won’t say any more about it, but I’ll tell you about it anyway next year. A big thank you, Sidney, for the great job you’ve done over the years,” BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA.

On his tombstone, it will be written: “it will never have been sharp enough”. FM, hidden for a long time under the pseudonym “Anonymode”, butchered fashion designers at the speed of a bullet, as we say.

Block parties were sweeping New York’s Bronx borough as Black and brown youth celebrated culture, community, and a new genre of music: hip-hop.
Hip Hop born as a response to the popular disco genre of the ‘70s, hip-hop quickly expanded outside of New York City as artists and groups like Grandmaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc, The Sugarhill Gang and others resonated with communities across the country and helped the genre become more mainstream by the ’80s.
Hip-hop has become the most popular musical genre in the U.S. today. “Fashion and style have always been important to hip-hop because fashion and style have always been important to communities of color.
Break dancers develop their own style and graphic artists transfer their art from the walls to clothing, so it’s always been very intertwined.”
Fashion has been influenced by these five official pillars. For break dancers, early hip-hop style featured baggy silhouettes. Similarly, fashion took inspiration from graffiti artists, incorporating bright colors and graphic brush strokes.
Mary Quant, a figure of the Swinging Sixties, the cultural revolution of the 1960s in the United Kingdom, passed away on Thursday. According to some, the British designer with brown bangs popularized the miniskirt.It is however the subject of “discussions”, with some pointing to André Courrèges as the partner behind this iconic piece of women’s clothing. Some say that his haircut was stolen by the copious Wintour
With Britain emerging from post-war austerity, a concept store mixing fashion, art, music, and bar quickly became a meeting place for fashionable artists.There is a legend that the Beatles, Audrey Hepburn, and Brigitte Bardot met there.
As a result of its success, a second store opened in 1957. As a small anecdote, Terence Conran, the founder of Habitat, will redecorate the store in 1964.
With her marketing skills and avant-garde materials choice, the British designer expanded her offer by offering patterns to use for her own creations, PVC shoes or lycra lingerie. She even launched a cosmetics line in 1966, whose logo is a daisy. Continue reading

The French fashion house Hermès has opened a new leather goods workshop in Louviers, creating 280 jobs and strengthening its commitment to sustainable employment.
The second leather goods hub of the house will employ 260 leatherworkers in Normandy. Bags, small leather goods, saddles, and bridles will be produced inside the workshop by the artisans.
By conserving the site’s original trees and redirecting rainwater to the water table, the undulating gardens designed by Belgian landscape architect Erik Dhont conserve local biodiversity. An excellent example of Hermes’ commitment to environmental performance, regional development, and social responsibility is the workshop. But producing leather has an impact on the environment. Indeed, the breeding of animals in farms is a source of nitrate pollution (very involved in global warming). Continue reading
Gucci has launched its first luxury salon boutique concept in Los Angeles. The 4,380-square-foot space is located on the prime corner of Melrose Place and Melrose Avenue, in an ivy-covered building that was occupied for years by Marc Jacobs.

An example of a cross-cultural fashion collaboration can be found in the lobster dress that was designed by Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli and Spanish artist Salvador Dalí in 1937, now housed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The blend of hip-hop with luxury predominant among collaborations has become an established concept.
Millennials and Gen Z consumers, who expect authentic creativity from luxury and fashion brands, are also experiencing collaboration fatigue. Fashion and luxury brands should broaden their cultural horizons, exploring untapped subcultures, geographies, time periods, artistic inspirations, and savoir-faire around the world in order to stay connected with young generations.
