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 spent a single franc to seize the bankrupt Boussac textile group, 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.
