The former chief of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, who ran the brand for nearly three decades, died on Saturday aged 72. A company spokesman said yesterday that he died after a long period of illness. Widely credited with turning Hermès from a fairly niche marque (focused on leather goods) into the luxury, lifestyle brand we know today – his impact cannot be underestimated. – From Luxury Insider
