Delphine Arnault

[Ceptuouse]

I couldnt find a thread on her, so...Personally, I like her, and, I think she's worked very hard, even If she is the daughter of Bernard Arnault, she has worked extremely hard I believe.

Biography from wikipedia

Arnault was in 2004 one of the world's richest women with a wealth exceeding 14.4 billion Euro. At the age of 29 she became the only woman to have reached the position of director for LVMH. In 2005 she controlled 47.5% of the stocks in LVMH and is the biggest individual stockholder. Measured in turnover, LVMH is the biggest luxury produce company in the world. In France she has been referred to as the Napoleon of the luxury product business, and as the Wolf in a cashmere coat. She became the HR manager for the LVMH group in 2002. Arnault has particularly contributed in the development of Dior Parfums.


Arnault is a graduate of the EDHEC school of commerce in Lille and the London School of Economics. She has been the leader of several organisations, not only those linked to her father's business, but also scholarly organisations like student organisations at the London School of Economics. Before joining her father's company she worked for McKinsey & Company in Paris[1]. She has a silent personality and dislikes media attention. She appreciates the arts, particularly dadaism, and she covets collectibles, just like her father.

LSE...she's no dumb heiress

She has access to anything she wants to wear, but she seems to have cultivated her own style, refined and French chic...

SPECULATION is rife that Bernard Arnault's daughter, Delphine, is set for a high-ranking position in LVMH-owned Pucci, WWD reports.

I'm surprised that this thread isn't longer.

yeah I don't love everything she wears (except that Pucci outfit) but she definately has her own sense of style and I agree, i don't think anyone would question her work ethic

 

[leyla m.]

i agree with meg,

i usually dont like what she wears.. ive seen her too often in CD and havent found it appropriate for her look.
but i do like the PUCCI. colour becomes her
