Bringing revenue/brand scale into fashion conversation on a fashion forum is weird lol. I mean do Armani, Yohji, Tom Ford, Gaultier and many other respected designers have sh*t taste because they admire Galliano's DrAg QuEEn fashion? Even sly guys like Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana said that John is an exceptional talent and they are inspired by him. Idk man, sometimes we shouldn’t bring our personal taste into the conversations.

I don’t know how I should look at this because those are reports and nothing has been announced by the Arnault but I take it with a grain of salt.
Fenty Beauty is probably one of their most successful beauty brand currently.
So it’s an asset in their portfolio and the sale of the brand could also made them a lot of money.
It’s also maybe time for Rihanna and LVMH to push the brand as a real beauty brand and not as a by-product of the popularity of a celebrity.
She is relatable ok but it’s maybe time for her to step back in terms of communication. Push models in the forefront, sponsor events around beauty, provide products for professional during fashion weeks (beauty is a huge expense particularly for young designers).
LVMH would copy Chanel and Hermes anytime but maybe should also start to copy L’Oreal too. And maybe be more brave.
They cashed a lot thanks to popularity and celebrity, now they have to put in the work.

The new Louis Vuitton men’s ski collection is absolutely fantastic. I also noticed a real price correction - $1,700 for a cashmere or intricately worked wool sweater feels surprisingly reasonable. The highest prices are reserved for the most covetable pieces - the miroir bags and the fur outerwear.
Honestly, $6k coats aren’t outrageous for European-made designer ready-to-wear built to last. To me, this collection signals LV’s renewed commitment to its clients - a brilliant lineup, firing on all cylinders, filled with luxurious details and smart, assertive pricing. There’s really nothing wrong here, just a lot of pieces that aren’t to my taste.
I picked up some of the ski looks - the ski suit, a jacket, and a couple of pants were absolute musts. No one does men’s skiwear like this. It’s usually either Arc’teryx or Moncler, but Vuitton brought real glamour to it. I skipped the sweaters, though - they are a bit too monogrammed for me.
Looking at the pre collection I also see a the LV Homme vision. Its bell bottoms and blouson with crisp shirting and super fine details. The pre collection is far more aligned with how I dress than the collegiate Fall collection which offered like 2 options for me.
