Where Is The Way Forward For Nicolas Ghesqui Re To Retire From Balenciaga?

In November 30th, Nicolas Ghesqui re will retire from Balenciaga, which has served for 15 years, and find a consortium or fund to support its own initiative.

Or do you repeat the same mistakes and join the luxury group again? Or is unemployment like Hedi Slimane having a good rest and playing art?

Pierre Mallevays, managing partner of Savigny Partners, an investment bank specializing in luxury goods in London, says that many fashion brands are racking their brains to attract Nicolas Ghesqui re to join. "Only a real fashion genius can bring revolutionary impact on the brand."

To this end, Savigny Partners also gave a special comparison of the two examples of Alber Elbaz in Lanvin and Phoebe Philo in Celine.

However, whether Nicolas Ghesqui re will create its own brand, Savigny Partners is relatively indifferent.

"I didn't see private funds and hedge funds supporting Nicolas Ghesqui re to build new brands, because of the time cycle and risk, so high-end.

The brand should be at least 50 million euros, almost 63 million 700 thousand dollars, and there will be no direct economic return in five years.

Unless the group with extreme confidence wants to build a new brand will consider it carefully.

For any potential investor to build a new brand for such a genius as Nicolas Ghesqui re, it is not just to build a brand, but also to have prestige.

Allegedly, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault has been very concerned about Nicolas Ghesqui re, and last year he wanted him to replace John Galliano as the creative director of Dior.

The involvement between LVMH and Nicolas Ghesqui RE can be traced back to 10 years ago. According to a Paris insider, Givenchy once wanted Nicolas Ghesqui re to be her dress designer.

According to another person familiar with LVMH, it is much more difficult for LVMH to create a brand for Nicolas Ghesqui re than to plug Nicolas Ghesqui re into Louis Vuitton, Fendi or Vuitton brand.

In fact, the most recent brand creation of Bernard Arnault was Christian Lacroix in 1987. In 2005, it sold the troubled Christian Lacroix to Florida tourism retail companies Falic Group.

Stefano Corneliani, a senior analyst at Intermonte SIM, a brokerage firm in Milan, also said that in today's fashion industry, it is impossible for a designer to create a company.

"The market is extremely crowded with only 1/1000 success rate.

Building a brand because of a designer can not work at all. This is exactly the opposite way to the market.

You should make a business plan and find a designer.

Stefano Corneliani uses Geox and Tod 's as an example. "You have an idea, for example, Geox will breathe.

The child's idea, Tod 's's leisure design, then has strong marketing and media publicity behind it.

Stefano Corneliani summed up today's relationship between designers and businesses in a sentence: "investment is huge, designers are small, and you can be lucky to make achievements in 5 or 10 years."

At the same time, he also used the cooperation of Karl Lagerfeld and Hogan recently to propose that Nicolas Ghesqui RE can serve a Italy brand that wants to become an international brand.

According to sources close to Nicolas Ghesqui re, although some projects are in contact with designers, Nicolas Ghesqui re wants to empty for a while and do some pure art.

It is said that Nicolas Ghesqui re is seriously considering creating a brand while maintaining the opportunity to serve other brands.

Paris boutique merger and acquiring company Ohana & Co. management partner Karine Ohana also said that Nicolas Ghesqui re is unlikely to reach the fund to support him in creating the brand.

"I believe that only a private investor with good trust and understanding will support such a long-term project."

Karine Ohana said that no matter whether it was Tom Ford or Proenza Schouler, there was such private family or consortium behind it. (in July 2011, Proenza Schouler revealed that 20 investors, led by financier John Howard and Andrew Andrew, were behind the brand and were famous for cultivating new people).

As for Nicolas Ghesqui re, Karine Ohana says he has gained international fame and ranks among the best designers in the world.

Headhunting experts also agree that Nicolas Ghesqui re talents rarely enter the market.

"In my opinion, if Nicolas Ghesqui Martens re has not yet contacted some brands when leaving Balenciaga, there will be some brands and consortia who will be waiting to talk to him," said Mary Gallagher, New York headhunting company's Martens & Heads European division.

The reason why I use "some" is because only those heavyweight, confident and charming brands will come into contact with him.

Over the years, he has been a legendary and influential star to Balenciaga, like the founder of Crist BAL Balenciaga.

Mary Gallagher indicates that there are some vacancies that are suitable for Nicolas Ghesqui re, which also meets his requirements. "We find that a designer suddenly announces a brand position."

Mary Gallagher has Raf Simons.

To illustrate this point, and when a designer and brand talk about renewal, Nicolas Ghesqui re has the opportunity.
