The LVMH executive also predicted the demise of cruise super-productions in exotic locales.
Antoine Arnault, head of communications and image at luxury conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, said he is “not very optimistic” about the prospect of staging physical fashion shows next September.
“For the September shows, I am not very optimistic. For the seasons after that, it rather depends on our research scientists and our doctors. It’s not really up to us to decide,” he said. Although he deemed it too early to predict the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on revenues at LVMH, which saw sales drop 15 percent in the first quarter, Arnault was confident the luxury sector would recover.
The notoriously private executive also revealed that the coronavirus pandemic has forced him to postpone his planned wedding to Russian model Natalia Vodianova in June. The couple, who have been together for 10 years, had planned to tie the knot in France. Speaking of masks, expect to see some designer versions soon from LVMH, whose brands also include Fendi, Loewe, Kenzo and Marc Jacobs.
Responding to a pop culture quiz, Arnault also gave some light-hearted insight into how he spent his confinement, revealing that he has been listening to Seventies-era French musical “Starmania” and playing the Nina Simone classic “My Baby Just Cares for Me” on the piano.
