LVMH’s Louis Vuitton, Dior, Moët and Tiffany were assembled by one man.
Bernard Arnault trained as an engineer, not a couturier. In 1984 he took over the failing Boussac textile group for a single ceremonial franc, mostly for the Dior label buried inside it. Then he bought, raided and merged his way to the rest. Rivals named him the wolf in cashmere.
