- LVMH US CEO Anish Melwani expressed relief In the decline in the “quiet luxurious” trend, claiming that although underestimated elegance in LVMH brands have long existed, the trend limited the expression and choice of consumer in the luxury room. As the industry is changing, European luxury brands are now facing a new challenge in the form of potential tariffs in the form of US potential tariffs, which may cause the rise in the price that consumers are expected to receive.
The CEO of LVMH, a Design Purition in the US, said he was happy to see the back of the “quiet luxury” trend.
Driven by the involvement of social media, “quiet luxury” referred to the madness of lifestyle and aesthetics, which focused on high quality and timeless tracks.
LVMH US chairman and CEO Anish Melwani said that underestimated trademarks have always existed in the LVMH portfolio and that even the signs associated with status dressing pass through their monogram fall cycles.
Melwani argued that the beauty of the luxury sector was that it offers every consumer a diligent goal and that the “quiet luxury” trend threatened to choose.
“I have always claimed that the luxury is related to the emotions of human achievements,” Melwani said at a global conference at the Milken Institute on Tuesday.
Speaking on the panel moderated Treasure Diane Brady, Melwani continued: “If you get it right, you offer the product that the consumer feels when buying it, they feel achieved. It can manifest itself in different ways, but it is basically a sense of achievement and it is inspiration.”
LVMH customers have many brands for this sense of achievement to choose from.
The trademarks under the LVMH umbrella in Paris include Maisone such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi, Loewe and Givenchy, as well as jewelry and watch designers such as Tiffany & Co, Bvlgar and Tag Heuer.
The group is led by tycoon Bernard Arnault, whose value is more than $ 147 billion TiltTo.
“One of Mr. Arnault's genius is the awareness that consumers of this level are not monolithic in the part that makes them achieve,” Melwani added. “Hopefully we're over the term quiet luxury – it got pretty annoying – especially because it's not new.
“If you ask Loro Piana, they would say,” We've done 50 years of quiet luxury. “When you really look at Fendi, there were Fendi periods where it is strongly logically logged and monograms, and there have been periods where less than 2% of the product line was a logo at all.”
Next Fashion Farm: Trump's tariffs
The idea of ”quiet luxury” began to circulate most importantly on the web, politely TV show 'Offspring'.
In one scene, a character associated with a wealthy family has a “ridiculously voluminous bag” of a startled guest.
This bag has a well-known printed edition of the designer brand and is also large enough to accommodate objects such as lunch box or “subway shoes” do not need a particularly well-off person.
A scene is an example of how one person's proud object can be considered to be a gauche.
“It is impossible for one brand to truly give this sense of achievement,” Chime Melwani.
“Having a portfolio and more importantly – if the Maissons were independent and autonomous, every Maison allows you to use its own heritage to create such a desirable feeling, create a sense of achievement with the audience they talk to, and allow people to find what it feels.”
However, if it has successfully navigated consumer trends, such as “quiet luxury” and modest buyers in larger geographical areas such as China, a luxury sector, especially in high -fashion Europe, faces a new challenge.
This is, of course, the tariff program of President Trump, which includes a 20% hike in the EU after his 90 -day break.
Approximately 70% of the global luxury market is based in Europe, and while it is an excessive problem for the sector as a whole, it also gives companies greater power.
“We assume that most European luxury conservation companies will give tariffs in the form of price increases for end user who tend to be less sensitive to pricing and are accustomed to regional price differences,” UBS equity analyst Zuzanna Pusz wrote at the beginning of this year.
