Tod's Delists from Italian Stock Exchange Short-Term Investors Demands

Tod's Delists from Italian Stock Exchange Short-Term Investors Demands

After 22 years, Tod’s Della Valle family want to delist Tod’s Group from the Italian Stock Exchange, offering stockholders a premium on their shares to essentially take their profits and go home — so that Tod’s can manage its business affairs with a more brand-building, longterm-success strategy.

“Brothers Diego and Andrea Della Valle control 63.64 percent of Tod’s shares. Delphine S.A.S. under the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Group will remain in the Tod’s capital with its current 10 percent stake,” writes WWD.

EADEM's Smart Melanin™ Technology for Beautiful Women of Color

Hyperpigmentation is the number one skin concern among women of color.

6-Degrees: Hindu Nationalists Burning Hillary Posters, A $1.5 Million Bounty for a Dead Deepika Padukone, and Ivanka Trump Rolling Into India

On this first morning in post-Roe America, Bollywood star Deepika Padukone is on my mind. She occupies my brain space — not because of her recent appointment as a Louis Vuitton ambassador and not because she “stole the show” in Cannes in early June, appointed as a member of the 2022 Cannes Festival nine-person jury.

Vogue India Interview

Padukone acknowledges in her Vogue India May 2022 cover story — a conversation between the actor and Faye D’Souza, edited and excerpted by Sadaf Shaikh — that she was pleased to be honored as a TIME 100 Impact Award 2022 recipient.

She’s here to talk her casual, tomboy style preferences — Red Carpet glam nights not included. Padukone shows us how the first Indian Louis Vuitton ambassador chills, styled by Megha Kapoor in the all-Vuitton fashion story lensed by Vivek Vadoliya [IG]. / Makeup by Tina Monzón; hair by Noelia Coral

LVMH Buys 50% of Jay-Z's Champagne Brand As Bernard Arnault Nods To Black Culture's Financial Influence

LVMH Buys 50% of Jay-Z's Champagne Brand As Bernard Arnault Nods To Black Culture's Financial Influence

Jay-Z appears to be having the last laugh in the Champagne wars, selling a 50 percent stake in Armand de Brignac to LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Jay-Z’s Ace of Spades joins the luxury brand’s other prestige labels including Dom Pérignon, Moët & Chandon, Ruinart, Krug and Veuve Clicquot. Both parties must agree to major decisions for the company.

Most important, the partnership cements the luxury company’s ties with the entertainment industry and also to the growing embrace of the Black Lives Matter movement by progressives of every ethnic background and skin color. AOC has long lived in this atmosphere, but something very major is happening around us.

This last statement is AOC’s opinion and not that of the business media. To us, Bernard Arnault’s instinctual insights about the increasing dominance and overall influence of Black culture are obvious — and impressive.

Just last week Arnaud indirectly took a significant financial position in Savage X Fenty via L Catterton. This decision came as Rihanna and LVMH agreed to put the Fenty designer label on hold for the time-being.
