Today, Diane Pernet has published a bombshell post outlining this scenario:
“This is not a fact until you officially read it somewhere else but rumour has it that Karl Lagerfeld will not renew his contract... Read Full Story
>> Lanvin announced today that an anonymous European family holding company took a 12.5 percent stake in the company, ending a long quest by majority owner Shaw-Lan Wang to take the brand to the next level.
