Who says Nicolas Ghesquière isn’t up to the job of creation control as LVMH’s biggest moneyspinner? As a not-always-brilliant Fashion Month ended on Tuesday, he turned out to be spot on, silencing the whispers about his future at the brand, for now at least.
It looks like it really will be all-change at Chloé as Clare Waight Keller focuses on a better work-life balance and steps down while Louis Vuitton’s hugely respected Natacha Ramsay-Levi steps up to the role after a lot of years spent working for Nicolas Ghesquiere. What does that actually mean in practice? Well Chloé’s current…
