There’s big news in the luxury fashion world — Jordi Constans has been named the new CEO of Louis Vuitton, replacing Yves Carcelle. Carcelle’s relationship with the brand is not set to end – as he is slated to become vice chairman of the forthcoming Foundation Louis Vuitton, a Frank Gehry-designed art museum slated to open next year in Paris. He’ll also continue to sit on the executive committee and undertake “strategic missions” alongside Bernard Arnault, according to WWD. Here’s Vogue with more:
