Beyond this LVMH have also unexpectedly left the head position at Dior open, after John Galliano’s departure, for a surprising length of time, refusing to flag to any enterprising pressures until they find exactly the right person to fill the spot.

Marco Gobbetti, Celine chief executive, was adamant, telling the FT "In the end, all we do is made by people through their talent and skills. It’s all about humans, isn’t it?”
