LVMH Takes Control Of Bulgari, Is Still Despised By Hermès
In a surprisingly drama-free arrangement, LVMH has taken control of Bulgari and the Bulgari family has become a major stakeholder in LVMH. The whole thing sort of reminds us of an elementary school lunchtime transaction (I’ll trade you my chips for your Oreos!), and we mean that in a good way.
Hermès Sues Indie Label Over Printed Canvas Birkins
A few months ago we came across some super cute Thursday Friday totes that were printed with cheeky trompe l’oeil Birkins. We thought they were clever and winking and oh-so-affordable at $35 a pop. Hermès was none too pleased about the oft-backordered bags, and decided to sue Thursday Friday for copying their famed design.
PHOTOS: 10 Most Controversial Stories Of The Year
If there’s one thing fashion loves to do, it’s push the envelope. And while some of the stories included on this list made the cut due to a deliberately controversial editorial vision (ahem, Terry Richardson), many more made the list by sheer (and often embarrassingly obtuse) accident. But one thing is for sure, these are the stories that kept tongues wagging, traffic spiking, and many publicists very, very busy.
PHOTOS: 5 Gifts That Cost An Arm And A Leg
We’d like to think that the things we’ve included in our gift guides are reasonable, and we realize that a few have been splurges. But hey, it’s the holidays, right? What better time than right now to let the purse strings loose a little? With that in mind, we went a little hog wild finding a few choice gifts that we’d love to give or receive — if we had the money.
LVMH Now Owns At Least 20 Percent Of Hermès
LVMH just won’t quit! Even though Hermès formed a holding company to fend off an impending takeover by LVMH, Bernard Arnault‘s retail giant now holds 21,338,675 shares of Hermès.
Julian Assange, What Are You Going To Wear To Court?
While the legal details of Julian Assange’s sexual harassment charges have obfuscated left and right, the fact remains that the man is going to have to go to court. And any person with common sense will tell you that a having a court date (even if it is in Sweden) means hauling out a suit and trying to look good while all of your worst fears and darkest secrets are aired right in front of your face.
Hermès Fights Back Against LVMH By Forming Holding Firm
First the Hermès clan enlisted Salma Hayek, and now it’s formed a holding company to fight back against LVMH‘s takeover. To fill you in, the Dumas, Puech and Guerrand branches of the Hermès family consist of dozens of Thierry Hermès‘s heirs who reportedly own over 73% of the company’s capital collectively.
Salma Hayek Is Hermès’s Weapon Of Choice Against LVMH
By now you probably know that LVMH is trying to take over Hermès. Despite stating that “LVMH has no intention of launching a tender offer, taking control of Hermès, nor seeking board representation,” Hermès thinks LVMH’s intentions are less than noble. Yeah, they’re pissed. So in a move that said “F off, Bernard!” Hermès invited Salma Hayek to a cocktail party celebrating the opening of its Left Bank megastore. Hayek is, of course, wife to PPR chief (and LVMH rival) François-Henri Pinault.

WATCH: Hermès’ Fingerboarding Video Stars A Severed Hand
Skateboards and Hermès are two of our favorite things. Well, maybe not quite but we totally had a thing for boys who rode skateboards in high school and Hermès will always have a little piece of our hearts. The brand may be a victim of some big-time bullying, but the viral video they released for their fall/winter 2010 collection is majorly cool. And features a severed limb.
How LVMH Sneakily Bought $4 Billion Of Hermès
The Hermes family has decided that it wants the shares of its company purchased by LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault back. And thanks to the stealthy method Arnault used to acquire his stake in the luxury goods house, the family just might get their wish.

Ms. Beckham: I Never Said My Bags Were Better Than Birkins!
We tend to think the internet is pretty much the best. Because it is. But sometimes it’s a bit of an echo chamber, which is a problem because false information can spread in an instant.

Chanel Purses Expected To See 20% Price Increase
Purchasing your very own Chanel number is a bag-hoarder’s equivalent of the Holy Grail. Women will starve themselves, max out credit cards, even skip paying rent just to know what someone like Rachel Bilson experiences every time a piece of quilted arm candy hangs off her shoulder. And now, rumor has it that the price of European Chanel bags, including reissues, just went up 20% — and the price-hike plague is expected to reach the states in a matter of weeks.
Hermès Teaches Us New Ways To Use Our Silk Scarves

That’s right, lets test your brand loyalty now.
Gaultier Leaves Hermes, Replaced By Lacoste Designer
