JEAN PAUL GAULTIER has been made the President of the Jean Paul Gaultier Group. The designer will replace Véronique Gautier who stepped down from the role on Monday.
According to WWD, the French designer will now be responsible for the management of the company as well as design. Caroline Le Borgne, the deputy managing director of the Gaultier since 2006, has been appointed head of operations.
Hermès currently owns 45 per cent of Gaultier - the designer himself owns the remainder. Hermès yesterday reported a 20 per cent profit jump in three months to June 30 making £482.8 million.
Hermès now forecasts revenues to rise between 10 and 12 per cent this year from last, compared to its 5 per cent predictions in May. Profit boosting areas of the label include perfume where sales increased 25 per cent. Leather goods went up 23 per cent.
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER, who recently left Hermes and received rave reviews for his latest couture show, is a favourite of the coming generation as much as he is with older audiences – model Daisy Lowe yesterday called him her number one.
During her monthly VOGUE.COM photo blog, Today I’m Wearing, she wore Alexander McQueen, Miu Miu and Temperley, but Lowe cites Gaultier as her ultimate wardrobe must-have.
“Jean Paul Gaultier is my favourite all time designer,” she told us.
Daisy attended last night’s Acne London store launch alongside Jamie Winstone, Johnny Borrell, VOGUE.COM contributor Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Daphne Guinness. It was a whistle stop tour for the model as she dashed off for her next social event.
“Sorry I can’t talk – I’m off to a Florence and the Machine gig and so late,” she said.
FASHION giant Prada SpA has negotiated a three-year loan agreement of 360 million Euros to refinance a long-standing debt and to propel the company’s retail growth.
“Prada is currently undergoing a very positive sales growth, and I believe that by 2013 the return of the company’s retail investment will outdo this loan, especially with today’s cost of money” said Intercorporate vice president Armando Branchini to WWD.
Expansion is the brand’s top priority, with plans for 30 new stores opening this year and a focus on Asia-Pacific. Currently, Prada has 280 units in 76 countries.
“We are also strengthening our presence in Europe with openings in Frankfurt, Prague, Berlin and Lisbon” added Prada spokesperson Stefano Cantino.
The company’s debt, totalling 640 million Euros, accumulated in the Nineties through the acquisition of brands such as Jil Sander, Helmut Lang and a stake in fashion house Fendi. Prada SpA is valued at between three and four billion Euros, a valuation that could increase even further in the coming 18 months.
CHRISTIE’S will this Wednesday auction off some of the world’s rarest Hermès bags. Around 65 bags will be up for offer, including Birkins, Kelly’s and Pochettes, in a range of sizes and materials dating from the Sixties.
“There really aren’t many of these bags left in the world,” said Pat Frost, head of textiles at Christie’s. “We are expecting people to bid way over the asking price. There is a massive waiting list for several of the styles featuring in the auction – it’s an easy way of jumping the queue but at a premium.”
Estimated starting prices begin at £500 stretching to £30,000. Barker expects the crocodile skin bags to reach the highest amounts.
“The quality of these bags are fantastic and the design is fantastic,” added Barker. “People that tend to buy in auctions are more conservative and Hermès pieces fit in with their aesthetic. They tick all the boxes of the people that come to our auctions, being unusual yet subtle at the same time.”
