Are you thinking what she’s thinking? Delphine’s no lazy nepo babe
DELPHINE ARNAULT is the daughter of LVMH’S billionaire owner Bernard arnault, who has just appointed her as the new head of christian Dior and she will serve as ceo of the French label from next month.
Many are appalled at what they see as nepotism, but i can’t get angry at nepo babies any more.
once upon a time it was infuriating when the likes of stella Mccartney would cheep: ‘Yes, my name helped me get through the door, but i made it on my own after that.’ Not realising that getting through the door is the most difficult bit.
Yet 47-year-old Delphine’s whole life seems to have been working towards this moment: she gained degrees from a French business school and the london school of economics before joining lVMh in 2000, starting in the shoe department and literally working her way up the fashion business.
her father is the richest man in the world. Delphine could choose to do nothing, but she chooses to work instead.
i wish her all the best.
