Fashion's old fogies create succession conundrum at LVMH

At its core, the business of fashion is surely an endless quest for something new. Issue is, some of the biggest names are getting rather old.

Giorgio Armani and Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld have been in their 80s, Roberto Cavalli is 74, and Bernard Arnault, chairman with the company that owns Lv, turns 66 in May. Of such, only Cavalli seems prepared to swap his sketch book for slippers, as he's promoting his business. The others present succession quandaries which could reverberate long after fashion's senior statesmen shuffle off of the catwalk for good.

At stake are combined annual revenues of greater than $40 billion and Europe's hang on the global marketplace for designer handbags, shoes as well as other personal luxury goods.

reaching the end of an era, said Jane Kellock, founder of trend consultant Unique Style Platform. might not exactly see their like again. Twelve years after Coco Chanel died, Lagerfeld breathed new life in the Chanel brand by reinterpreting the founder's aesthetic   think tweed skirt suits and pearls for women who lunch.

Lately, Nicolas Ghesquiere has revived growth at Vuitton, the earth's largest luxury brand, after Marc Jacobs left to concentrate on his own label. And Hedi Slimane makes Saint Laurent the most popular name popular with biker jackets, baby doll dresses and skinny jeans.

Go wrong, though, this means you will spell pain   as Gucci's recent woes attest. After being promoted to creative director in 2006, Frida Giannini struggled to formulate a distinctive identity for your Italian brand. That generated a slump in sales, and analysts at Raymond James expect it should take until 2017 to recoup to high single digit growth. Kering SA, which owns Gucci, dropped Giannini in January and replaced her with Alessandro Michele. Giannini couldn't be reached for comment. Eisenhower occupied the White House. The German designer, recognized for his prolific work ethic, black and white wardrobe, and ever  present sunglasses, spent some time working with Fendi for any half century and   simultaneously   for Chanel since 1983. In their spare time he also designs for his or her own label.

Even when Lagerfeld's crocodile boots is going to be tough to fill (at Chanel, he designs eight collections annually) he's in the middle of strong teams. Fendi is co created by a member of an italian man , founding family, and both companies employ many talented artisans.

That provides some assurance of continuity, additionally, it shows how the role of creative director becomes ever more demanding in the global, digital economy. Chief designers have to come up with top to bottom collections in weeks as an alternative to months. Plus they must travel more in promoting them, that requires almost superhuman energy level, said Giovanna Brambilla, someone at recruiter Value Search Srl.

always leave a hole, said Brambilla. in some instances, the brand can actually benefit from new energy. Chanel didn't react to a request comment.

Kering and LVMH Moet Hennessy Lv SE (which counts Fendi among its 70 brands) are already building stables of rising designers through stakes within their fledgling labels. Anderson's business in 2013, and contains since unleashed the Ray Ban outlet Northern Irishman on bag maker Loewe.

Arnault, LVMH's chairman, has applied the roster way of his succession. His two eldest children, Delphine and Antoine, already just work at LVMH. And he has three other offspring, a nephew, plus a niece, who could yet join them.

great thing about this kind of approach is basically that you leave quite a lot of time for the succession to get traction, said Luca Solca, an analyst at Exane BNP Paribas. and Antoine have the time in world to prove themselves and obtain stronger and more experienced then one day function as the leaders. One of them, his son Daniele has held the very best profile role   a quick stint designing menswear   but he quit last year. So the cigar smoking Cavalli created a creative director in March and is also holding foretells sell many stake to private equity firm Clessidra SGR. A spokeswoman for Cavalli declined to comment.

Armani, who rose to Ray Ban outlet store online prominence dressing Richard Gere in the 1980 film American Gigolo, said recently he hasn composed his mind in what happens after him. The 80 year-old has no children, though his nephew as well as nieces are on the board. Armani's spokeswoman says he isn in talks with any possible buyers.

For a designer who may have previously explored handles Hermes International SCA and LVMH, and that's so meticulous which he even decides what sort of light switches try looking in his hotels, it would be a surprise if he weren't doing their best.

Yet uncertainty around his succession is itself a risk because Armani is owner, creative director and CEO of the company he founded in 1975, said Fabrizio Ferraro, professor of strategic management at IESE Business School in Barcelona.

If Armani were Ray Ban outlet online to allow others at his company to talk about some of the spotlight, he'd assure the structure community the business can continue without him, Ray Ban Sunglasses Discount whatever he decides, Ferraro said.

should you be privately owned, more openness regarding the variety of management roles in a company could be positive, Ferraro said. Armani's is often a and complex succession situation.
