Richemont revealed the two key appointments on Tuesday within hours of each other, Louis Ferla CEO of Cartier and Catherine Rénier CEO of Van Cleef and Arpels.
Ferla, currently head of Vacheron Constantin, will succeed Cyrille Vigneron as CEO of Cartier. Rénier, currently CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre, will succeed Nicolas Bos, now CEO of Richemont, at the head of Van Cleef and Arpels.
The appointments come in a year of leadership change for Richemont, whose chairman and founder Johann Rupert is planning succession as a generation of senior executives reaches retirement age.

Olivier Rousteing certainly cannot identify with the main character of “The Lion King” but with the fashion Mickey absolutely. When he was a nine-year-old boy growing up with his adoptive parents in Bordeaux, France, he created his own kingdom, with the question of where are my parents?
To the music of “Paris by Night”, the man with the longest hair of Fashion Week, and also the most Middle Eastern of the French, created jewel dresses this season, a sort of mix between Tiffany which would be mated with a satin duchess having swallowed ostrich feathers. The Lebanese woman, next to me, smelled stronger than a Sephora store and was still re-perfuming, during this time and on stage, a dress by Sister Marie-Thérèse “a nun” which would have gone straight from the ‘Ronceveau and “Rolland” church. “the educated will understand.”
This season, the theme that Maria Grazia Chiuri has chosen is to highlight the relationship between the body, clothing and performance on a scaffolding of claims, as usual, ancient Greece or ancient grace? There is the question.
Ten looks 20 times for a total of 200 models, a sort of grand mass at the Palais de Tokyo for a frenetic, bubbling, almost enraged Fury Road like a saga, giving an almost stroboscopic effect of white on white. Pharaoh Akhenaten was back or the fall of an inhuman society, characterized by the loss of its cultural identity and its socio-economic complexity, decline of a civilization between war, epidemics and depopulation. A society collapsed in on itself which once again becomes more primitive in its clothing.
The collection is inspired by the wind, the legendary Plissé Issey Miyake. Like the structure of a kite, some clothing also resembles the construction of a parachute.
The collections of the KIDILL brand, founded in 2014 by Hiroaki Sueyasu, mix Harajuku street style with the punk irreverence of the 90s. It is inspired by post-war zazou, thinking of bringing luxury to the crazy old Vivienne Westwood and the genius Alexander McQueen, but influenced by punk icons John Lydon (Sex Pistols) he keeps the pistols and leaves sex behind, like all the young people these days. Transgressive, sophisticated silhouettes for the Flop journalist, but nothing couture, not even in the cuts.
The artist kicked off Paris Men’s Fashion Week on Tuesday at UNESCO, and focused on the next Olympic Games following the Lord’s order. Pharrell Williams teaches us about his origins: Welcome “to Africa”, if you were blind, under the frightened eyes of Anna Wintour, who on Park Avenue had never seen a black man so ready.
On Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Calvin Klein’s first global flagship will open. On Thursday night, a splashy, celebrity-filled opening party will take place at the 6,500 square foot, three-story space. The public is invited to visit on Friday.
The story was not over at Hermès, which is offering a new chapter to its fall-winter 2024-2025 collection, the first silhouettes of which showed at Paris Fashion Week last March. However, this time, a new wind has blown across the East Side; type of unblocking of the sitting for the clients of the little banker, inspired by the artistic director Nadège Vanhée.
