Bernstein considered company profitability, share prices and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/e\/enterprisevalue.asp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">enterprise value<\/a> (an estimation of total value) when appraising the performances of creative directors.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, Bernstein discovered that after a five year stretch with any one creative director, a company\u2019s fortunes would decline. This may explain why powerhouses like <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/tags\/lvmh\">LVMH <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/tags\/kering\">Kering <\/a>are more keen to replace their creative directors in short timeframes, regardless of critical success or output. Bernstein\u2019s other major finding supports this capital-driven theory: it found that each company\u2019s profitability only increased the longer their CEO remained consistent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source  media=\"&#10;                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),&#10;                                        (min-width: 1200px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)&#10;                                    \"><source  media=\"(min-width: 1200px)\"><source  media=\"&#10;                                        (min-width: 992px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),&#10;                                        (min-width: 992px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)&#10;                                    \"><source  media=\"(min-width: 992px)\"><source  media=\"&#10;                                        (min-width: 768px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),&#10;                                        (min-width: 768px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)&#10;                                    \"><source  media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"><source  media=\"&#10;                                        (min-width: 576px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),&#10;                                        (min-width: 576px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)&#10;                                    \"><source  media=\"(min-width: 576px)\"><source  media=\"&#10;                                        (min-width: 0px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2),&#10;                                        (min-width: 0px) and (min-resolution: 192dpi)&#10;                                    \"><source  media=\"(min-width: 0px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thatdope.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Fashion-Creative-Directors-Five-Year-Expiration.jpg\" alt=\"Fashion Creative Directors Five-Year Expiration date bernstein study luxury industry kering lvmh\"\/><br \/>\n                                <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text credit-wrapper\"><span class=\"spacer\"\/><span class=\"credit\">Akiharu Ichikawa\/Hypebeast Jp<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Note that these findings aren\u2019t without scrutiny. Bernstein\u2019s sample size is derived from only 18 modern creative directors and doesn\u2019t consider the correlation between creative directors and the company\u2019s revenue source. For instance, labels like <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/tags\/hermes\">Herm\u00e8s <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/tags\/chanel\">Chanel <\/a>are likely to profit greatly from accessories, bags, scents and shoes regardless of their creative leads. Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2019\/2\/bottega-veneta-fall-2019-mens-runway-show-daniel-lee\">some creative directors are so new<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2020\/1\/maison-kitsune-yuni-ahn-creative-director-leave-paris-fashion-week\">some labels are so much smaller than the luxury giants<\/a> that they were not considered when assembling the results.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the idea that the flash of a new creative director will only provide a temporary boost to sales, regardless of output, isn\u2019t without merit. Though <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2020\/6\/gucci-handbag-prices-coronavirus-pandemic-info\">also affected by coronavirus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/tags\/alessandro-michele\">Alessandro Michele<\/a>\u2018s <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/tags\/gucci\">Gucci<\/a> has recently seen slowing sales growth as the creative director nears his fifth year at the luxury house. Naturally, it\u2019s unlikely that Michele will be shown the door any time soon, the moment may come where his vision for Gucci will be forced to shift to recapture the magic.<\/p>\n<p>Recent reports have suggested that the luxury industry <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2020\/4\/coronavirus-fashion-industry-impact-report-research-effect\">will not recover from the coronavirus pandemic<\/a> anytime soon, with some analysts <a href=\"https:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2020\/5\/luxury-fashion-industry-sales-decline-2020-bain-report-coronavirus\">expecting bad fortunes to last until 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/hypebeast\/feed\/~3\/2Y6RMxsbQ88\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With news of Matthew M Williams\u2018 appointment to the house of Givenchy still fresh, Quartz has reported of a new study published by investment company Bernstein.
