Have you heard of the "Stocks On Demand" approach? Nona Source is shaking up the fashion world with its game-changing eco-circular business model. Co-founded by Romain Brabo, who previously worked as a buyer and quality manager at LVMH, Nona Source was born from his sharp observation of the fashion industry's inefficiencies. He noticed that while luxury fashion houses amassed unused materials at the end of each season, young designers struggled to access quality fabrics due to high minimum order quantities. By turning this waste into a goldmine for emerging designers, Nona Source brilliantly merges sustainability with profitability. Imagine premium fabrics once deemed waste now sparking new, edgy collections! This savvy approach slashes waste and supports the vibrant creative community. With instant access to high-end materials and no production delays, Nona Source is setting a bold new standard for the industry. Plus, India's trailblazing startup Fabrito is riding this wave, empowering smaller brands and designers to join the sustainable fashion revolution. Get ready for a fashion industry that's not just stylish but smart and sustainable! https://lnkd.in/g7SMAMqm

🌟 Exciting Times Ahead at LVMH! 🌟 As Bernard Arnault, the visionary leader behind the €400bn luxury empire, navigates the question of succession at LVMH, the stage is set for a captivating journey into the future of luxury retail. With all five of Arnault's children poised to play key roles in the company, the path to leadership is brimming with possibilities. 👩‍💼 Delphine's Experience: With Delphine's seasoned expertise in iconic brands like Christian Dior, her ascension could ensure continuity and excellence in craftsmanship, maintaining LVMH's prestigious standing in the industry. 🚀 Alexandre's Innovation: Alexandre's innovative ventures at Rimowa and Tiffany & Co. hint at a dynamic leadership style, ready to embrace new trends and expand LVMH's reach to diverse audiences through groundbreaking collaborations. 🤝 Collegial Approach: Alternatively, a collegial approach, where each Arnault scion oversees different divisions, promises a diversified and agile leadership structure, fostering autonomy and specialization within the company's rich portfolio of luxury brands. As the global luxury market continues to evolve, Arnault's decision will shape LVMH's trajectory for years to come. Whether it's continuity, innovation, or decentralization, each scenario offers unique opportunities to uphold LVMH's legacy while embracing the future of luxury retail. Exciting times lie ahead for LVMH, and I'm thrilled to witness the unfolding of this remarkable journey! 🌟 #LVMH #LuxuryRetail #LeadershipSuccession #Innovation #FutureofLuxury Source: https://lnkd.in/d9Q_QmFr

Caring and acting for the respect of Perfumery and the Perfumers. To the 342 persons who have “liked” this video and to the public and fashion designers who probably do not know, please find below another take on it:   - in a video on creativity and the “art of fragrance”, a business director sits at the fragrance organ, like working among ingredients, like a Universal Music manager at Taylor’s Swift guitar trying to play around and explaining people how we play the guitar and "always" in the same way over here at Universal.   The Master perfumer, however, is relegated to the staircase. Btw you can tell this organ is kinda untouched expo organ, not a real hardcore organ where you actually weigh day and night. Advice for your next video: Broadway NYC would create a better set design than Paris suburbs.   More Diktat - 2 managers trying to explain like 2 Sony managers trying to explain how you create a musical accord starting with 2 to 3 notes 🥴 Btw the official definition of an accord is at least 3 ingredients. Read the Charter of the International Perfumer’s Association. I am adding my comments to it soon. - non, “tout l’art du parfumeur” n’est pas “de reproduire une ordeur de la nature”. I suggest you take a class in perfume education and art education before teaching. Unless, perhaps in your case, this is "all the art of the perfumer" (is exact translation) in order to replace expensive tuberose and orange flower absolutes with cheap reconstitutions and lobbying the EU for the latter. Or is it not? - L’Oréal-Paris dictates what goes inside the bottles of more than a dozen brands from France, Italy, USA etc. Yet, according to this video, there is only one way of creating. 2-3 ingredients, accord, blablabla. Let’s have the Sony managers explain to the public that all guitarists start with the same method. Unless, perhaps in your case, you are forcing all perfumers and projects to start in your own way, the same way. - It is well-known that the perfumers submitting to L’Oréal do not know whether they submit an idea for Cacharel, Ralph Lauren, Margiela or even at times shampoos. They submit to a so-called “basket”. Yes for Yves Saint Laurent or Victor & Rolf, you have to submit to a “basket” that feeds also into Cacharel, Lancôme or Diesel. In France we put baguette, cheese and onions in a basket. Not a wonderful woolen Yves Saint Laurent fashion piece. In any event, the “total immersion into each brand” statement could be kept a little quieter. Constant pursuit of “subtle balance”: How diverse and respectful of each brand spirit this is too. Diesel is all about subtle balance.  - “thousands of modifications between us and the perfumers” Isn't this pure torture. Anyone should feel appalled by that. In the same sentence you call perfumers “geniuses”, yet you impose on them thousands of mods? And what mods? I can assure you they know how to create in less than that. For the public: these modifications are all for free. -continues in comments-

Luxury is our continent’s greatest asset: LVMH accounted for 4% of all French exports last year. Here in the U.K., whilst we don’t have a conglomerate like LVMH, our luxury sector collectively is a major contributor to U.K. export strength. As Walpole ‘s landmark study, Luxury in the Making published last month, found, if we exclude components that are primarily services, high-end exports were around 12% of the UK's merchandise exports, which is an increase over the share reported for 2017 of 9%. If we include services elements, we find the high-end sectors account for around 7% of total UK trade. Shouldn’t policymakers in the U.K. be doing all they can to unlock the firepower of what is clearly a great national asset, removing drags on growth like the ban on Tax Free Shopping in this country, and committing wholeheartedly to making sure the U.K. luxury sector can compete on a level playing field with its nearest continental neighbour, France?

🤠 thrilled to read the FashionUnited article about the Harrods / Galeries Lafayette roundtable that the International Association of Department Stores - IADS had the privilege to moderate at World Retail Congress! (Article in French & English in comments) ✌ With a total of 305 combined years of business and 56 years of experience, this conversation between Michael Ward and Nicolas Houzé was the perfect occasion to review the situation of two iconic retail destinations—so similar and yet so different! Both are well-recognized household names in their countries and internationally, to the extent that they have become brands per se. However, both mentioned that they still aspired to be a 'house of brands', i.e., the best environment possible for distributing other labels. ➡ In the case of Harrods, it is all about creating the perfect environment to address UNWI customers from wherever they are. Hence, Harrods offers a very extensive set of services and experiences, including the highest concentration of The MICHELIN Guide-starred restaurants in a store, in order to cater for their needs. ➡ In the case of Galeries Lafayette, which, by essence and DNA, is less exclusive than Harrods, it is all about being the "voice of fashion", at any price point, from wherever it originates, and make sure it echoes with both their international and local customers. Michael Ward insisted on the notion of tech and data as an engine for nurturing a strong relationship with Harrod's customers, even if it remains under the hood and relatively invisible. (want a fun fact? this "silent integration" of tech in the store is actually something that dates back from the opening of the store: for instance, the escalator in the Egyptian Escalator Hall is set to go at the same pace than the Nile river in Egypt...). On his side, Nicolas Houzé tackled another aspect of using the data to address in the best way possible their customers, through the Unlimitail partnership the company joined a year ago, along with Carrefour, Publicis Groupe and a group of retailers including Rakuten or showroomprive.com. 🎶Not too bad for companies often seen as a relic from the past! Both Nicolas and Michael also addressed their international ventures, in Shanghai for Harrods and various countries for Galeries Lafayette. Here again, while the approach is radically and fundamentally different, the idea remains the same, which is to maximize their retailer's name recognition in the world, and make sure they stand out from the crowd. Interestingly, the room was full, which showed that department stores are still very relevant when it comes to "high performance retail", this year's World Retail Congress theme. Thank you Florence Julienne for the coverage.

#Fashion_Revolution (FR), a global collective advocating for #transparency in the fashion industry, began after the tragic Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh in 2013, which resulted in over 1,100 deaths. Marking its tenth anniversary, FR's Fashion Revolution Week highlights the ongoing #WhoMadeMyClothes campaign, which promotes awareness of clothing production and supply chain ethics. This campaign, now reaching over 75 countries, has influenced numerous retailers to disclose their supplier details and prompted FR to publish an annual Fashion #Transparency Index evaluating 250 brands on their #environmental and operational practices. #fashionrevolution #WhoMadeMyClothes #transparency 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

THE FUTURE IS IN THE PAST Fast Fashion is killing the planet! You are spot on - the world cannot afford fast fashion - it’s horrendous it has to stop It is our duty as fashion leaders and lovers to only buy from the most sustainable brands It was lovely to meet with you Fanny Moizant at the LGT event last weekend Stuart Trevor, the founder of All Saints, set out to build the world’s most sustainable brand, starting with a clothing brand that doesn’t produce any clothing. Asked many times about building another All Saints; 'There are far too many clothes in the world already, the last thing the world needs is another clothing brand - but what about a clothing brand that doesn’t produce any clothes?' Stuart Trevor RE-WIND - reimagined vintage clothing RE-SET - repurposed dead stock fabric & garments. RE-PLAY - re developed range of essentials from stock in recycled/GOTS certified organic cotton. The eponymous new brand is STUART TREVOR, an amazing range of clothes from recycled clothing or dead stock fabric. 'Our clothes are reworked, rebranded, cut up, distressed, and reimagined with care - patched, printed, hand painted, sprayed, washed and embroidered, often with “less is more” in mind.' There’s a huge supply of vintage clothing ready to be given new life, millions of metres of “dead stock” fabric either lying around in fabric mills or ending up in landfill. 'We want to turn this 'dead stock' into 'living stock'.

For the past few weeks, I have been taking the INSIDE LVMH course. 4 modules and about 30 hours of #training on the world of #luxury, the Group's ecosystem with its more than 70 Maisons, and a special focus on creation and branding, retail&experience. More than the result (which was in any case very positive), the course itself was interesting, because it gave me the opportunity to hear directly from experts in the sector about the stories and DNA of such great, well-known and iconic #brands, and to discover many of the professional skills that contribute every day to the growth of all LVMH companies. However, seeing some things a little more from the inside was also an opportunity to ask myself questions and delve more deeply into whether there is and what is the commitment of such a relevant sector in the areas of #sustainability and DEI - Diversity, Equity&Inclusion. Some questions remained, but isn't that also the goal of training? #LVMH #INSIDELVMH #INSIDELVMHCertificate
