Armani in the High Castle



I don’t need to tell you that the interplay of power with personality can 
often have outsize business consequences—a theme invoked frequently at Puck. 
To cite the most obvious and ubiquitous example, David Ellison’s recent 
consummation of deals for both Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, to the 
tune of a combined ~$120 billion, owes uniquely to the dotage of his 
octogenarian father, a software magnate who is worth around a fifth of a 
trillion bucks depending on the day, and to both of their friendly 
relationships with Donald Trump.

Indeed, this is a packed genre. Shortly after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell 
signaled that he was going to squeeze his media partners, including Rupert 
Murdoch’s Fox, into forking over another billion or so apiece for annual 
distribution rights, the Journal started questioning the validity of the 
league’s antitrust exemption. Of course, Rupert, another Trump friend, owns 
that media joint, too. A week later, the Journal landed the exclusive that 
the Justice Department would be opening an investigation.

These are bipartisan pastimes. As my partner Matt Belloni recently reported 
in the excellent Bob Iger vs. the Bob Iger Book, the family-friendly Walt 
Disney Company recently hired the Gawker-killing Trump guardian angel 
Charles Harder for extra legal muscle—yet another reminder that egos often 
preside somewhere behind the numbers on the P&L. And I won’t bore you with 
the correlation between id and outcome regarding our current “excursion” in 
Iran, although my partner Julia Ioffe neatly connects the dots in a pair of 
recent stories, The Day After TACO Tuesday and Hegseth’s Pentagon Purge.

But the most fascinating intermingling of economics and personage may be 
playing out thousands of miles away, in Milan, where the Armani board of 
directors is engaging in a Succession-like game of corporate intrigue. Last 
September, the 91-year-old designer and entrepreneur Giorgio Armani passed 
away, leaving behind a singular set of requests for his namesake company.

Armani, who was childless and controlled his privately held business, 
insisted in his will that 15 percent of the company be sold off next year, 
followed by a subsequent sale of 30-55 percent within the following 
three-to-five-year period. Even more notable was his preference that this 
two-step process favor LVMH, the global behemoth; current partners 
EssilorLuxottica and L’Oréal; or a company of “similar standing” as possible 
acquirers. Like all truly great designers, Armani knew what he wanted.

Armani’s board is composed, among others, of some family members and Leo 
Dell’Orco, his longtime partner and chairman of his foundation—loyalists and 
indebted custodians all. But their path to ensuring that Armani’s business 
enjoys the afterlife prescribed by its late founder will be rife with 
complexifiers in an industry changing before our very eyes. Armani may be 
among the most important fashion houses of the past half-century, but 
fashion is undergoing an upheaval similar to the cable industry: All but the 
mightiest brands are getting smaller as the Chinese consumer reorients, 
multibrand retail fades, and tastes inevitably change. LVMH’s stock price is 
off around 40 percent from the Big Luxury post-pandemic peak of 2023—a trend 
mirrored by its smaller competitors Kering and Richemont. The Estée Lauder 
Companies has had its own executive shake-ups and stock oscillations, and 
its board is now exploring whether to deploy its dry powder on Spanish 
fragrance company Puig, in the wake of L’Oréal acquiring Kering’s beauty 
business in a $4.6 billion deal.

Anyway, the fashion industry may love Armani, but who will pay up for it, 
and within the confines of the founder’s wishes? If you only have time to 
read one piece this weekend, I’d turn your attention to my partner Lauren 
Sherman’s excellent story A Farewell to Armani. “Even for L’Oréal or 
Luxottica—or a firm of equal standing—it’s not a simple decision” to acquire 
Armani, Lauren noted. “Armani is not a very profitable business, and fashion 
is an increasingly unstable industry. While the brand is relatively 
unspoiled, it’s also staid. There’s been an organic uptick in interest in 
vintage Armani, and ready-to-wear sales have increased in recent years in 
important markets in the U.S., but it hasn’t been a go-to brand for decades. 
Why shop Armani when there’s The Row or Loro Piana—or Akris or Tom Ford?”

I’m certainly not qualified to answer that question, but this succession 
drama is a reminder that industries change fast, and that many financial 
decisions are character-driven. It’s one of the abiding leitmotifs of our 
time, and a near constant here at Puck.





Have a great weekend,
Jon

a <em>Succession</em>-like game of corporate intrigue. Last September, =
the 91-year-old designer and entrepreneur <strong>Giorgio =
Armani</strong> passed away, leaving behind a singular set of requests =
for his namesake company.<br/><br/>Armani, who was childless and =
controlled his privately held business, insisted in his will that 15 =
percent of the company be sold off
next year, followed by a subsequent sale of 30-55 percent within the =
following three-to-five-year period. Even more notable was his =
preference that this two-step process favor LVMH, the global behemoth; =

the afterlife prescribed by its late founder will be rife with =
complexifiers in an industry changing before our very eyes. Armani may =
be among the most important fashion houses of the past half-century, but =
fashion is undergoing an upheaval similar to the cable industry: All but =
the mightiest brands are getting smaller as the Chinese consumer =
reorients, multibrand retail
fades, and tastes inevitably change. LVMH=E2=80=99s stock price is off =
around 40 percent from the Big Luxury post-pandemic peak of =
2023=E2=80=94a trend mirrored by its smaller competitors Kering and =
Richemont. The Est=C3=A9e Lauder Companies has had its own executive =
