Fashion Conglomerates

[*Happiness*]

Who owns who?

I know many of these designers aren't private companies anymore. I want to know what companies own which designers companies. If they are owned by other big houses or investment firms, etc.

Enlighten me please.

Why is Prada so crazy...

Well, the real reason why Prada sold Fendi is cause it was losing money and Prada themselves were severly in debt, so it could be Bertellis craziness that got them in that pickle.

 

[Spacemiu]

what is Hennessy? The cognac?

 

[*Happiness*]

Spacemiu, yes...hennessey is the cognac. You wanna drank? hehehe.

Fendi seems to be loosing money big time, i wonder why they've recentrly extented karl's 'reign' at the House of Fendi... no less than for the next ten years.. how much money do they need to loose in order to get the message? it is just not working

excellent thread, thanks everyone for adding in,
esp botoxmolecula for the 'baby lux groups' details,
i keep mixing those 'lesser' players

what about Onward? are they now on the game with buying Joseph?
what about diesel, they wont stop at Maison Martin Margiela..

what about american 'lux' groups? do they exist?

Fortunate for us, Dior owns LVMH, or about 42. 5 % of it. That is the reason that Dior has been profitable. Christian Dior is the holding company which owns Dior Couture and has significant voting power in LVMH, which explains the musical chairs designers play in those companies (i.e the departure of Galliano from Givenchy to the head of the house.

Moreover, it is Dior which is able to pay for the extravanges at Christian Dior and even at John Galliano's brand.

Forbes Magazine included Christian Dior as number 365 in its annual list of 2 000 largest companies in the world. Gucci Group is nowhere to be found, although it's Holding company PPR is. Hermes is on the list, and no other luxury brands are to be found, probably because they are not so large or publicly traded.
