Arnaud Antoine is a businessman (see photo below) from France. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Loro Piana. Head of the Berluti company. This article will provide a brief biography of the entrepreneur.
Moving to the USA
Antoine Arnault was born in the commune of Roubaix (France) in 1977. When he was still small, the whole family had to leave their homeland and live for four years in America. In the early 1980s, François Mitterrand became president and decided to carry out anti-capitalist modernization by nationalizing large companies and banks. Thus, he completely spoiled the atmosphere for business. Then Antoine's father, Bernard Arnault, moved with his family to the suburbs of New York. The hero of this article went to a Franco-American school. The future businessman Antoine Arnault became a real star there. The boy did not part with the bike, went swimming and played football. And after six months of training, he was already fluent in English. In the future, Antoine admits in an interview that life in the USA was an ideal childhood for him.
First job
Soon the Arno family returned to France. Antoine was barely nine years old. At the same time, the French government put up for sale the bankrupt Agash-Villo holding. Bernard Arnault decided to purchase it. The dusty fashion house "Christian Dior" was attached to the deal as a bonus. Thus began the history of the great LVMH empire.
Future businessman Antoine Arnault got a job at his father's company. The young man worked in the store "Louis Vuitton" in Paris. When it came time to get an education, Antoine decided to choose a college in Montreal, where he began to master business management. Arno turned out to be an outsider in an unfamiliar country. This helped the young man to concentrate on his studies. After graduating from college, he returned to France and founded the Domaine Internet company with friends. After the sale of this company, Bernard offered his 25-year-old son to head the marketing department at Louis Vuitton.
Career advancement
Businessman Antoine Arnault has been interested in advertising since childhood and understood it perfectly. Bernard was aware of this quality of his son and instructed him to work on establishing communication between Louis Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs and the brand's audience. Six years later, Antoine has grown to a position on the company's board of directors. Arno Jr.'s promotions were incredibly successful. The fashion world especially admired his collaboration with Annie Leibovitz. The photographer took pictures of several international celebrities (Muhammad Ali, Angelina Jolie, Mikhail Gorbachev, Keith Richards) with Louis Vuitton bags.
New Brand
Soon, French businessman Antoine Arnault became interested in Berluti. He turned to Pietro Beccari (Vice President of Marketing for Louis Vuitton), with whom he developed a detailed plan of action. To start, Antoine brought in designer Alessandro Sartori, who worked as creative director at Zee Zegna. Together with the Italian, Arno came up with a new Berluti philosophy, focusing solely on quality and craftsmanship. Here is how Antoine himself characterizes the client of the company: “He is an eclectic man who combines the Italian spirit and French style. He does not sit imprisoned in the office, but travels a lot. This is a modern person who understands everything: from wine to art.”
Future plans
Privileged name - that's what Arnaud Antoine inherited. The businessman whose biography is presented above considers this an incredible responsibility. And the only way not to discredit the name is hard work. The entrepreneur has many other hobbies, but he connects his own future exclusively with the empire built by his father.
Private life
In the summer of 2011, businessman Antoine Arnault met philanthropist, top model and simply beautiful Natalia Vodianova. The girl just divorced Justin Portman, with whom she lived for ten years, having given birth to three children from him. But this did not stop Antoine. He became an inspiration, support and salvation for Vodyanova. Even being in a relationship with a businessman, Natalia felt independent.
Couple nowalready two sons: Maxim (2014) and Roman (2016). Natalia and Antoine are still living in a civil marriage. In an interview, Vodianova said that due to their high employment, they simply cannot get married. Antoine spends a lot of time on business, and Natalia - on organizing charity auctions and balls. But the former model is sure that sooner or later they will get married anyway.
