The market for male fashion is growing twice as fast as that for women, according to AntoineArnault, son of one of Europe's richest men and board member of luxury group LVMH.
Richards and Vuitton have been close since 2008, when AntoineArnault (head of communications for Louis Vuitton) had the idea to feature Richards in an ad campaign for the 150-year-old trunk maker.
In case you missed it: Last week LVMH quietly announced that AntoineArnault, head of communications for Louis Vuitton and son of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, will take the helm at Berluti.
