LVMH posts $67.4 bn revenue in 9M, shows resilience amid volatility
Despite persistent economic uncertainty and geopolitical disruptions, the luxury group displayed resilience, with the third quarter registering a one per cent organic improvement supported by better trends across most business groups except Europe, where tourist spending weakened due to currency fluctuations.
LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton reported €58.1 billion (~$67.396 billion) in revenue for the first nine months of 2025, down 2 per cent YoY.
Fashion and Leather Goods fell 6 per cent organically, yet Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Loro Piana sustained creative momentum through new launches and shows.
Selective Retailing rose 3 per cent. DFS’s recovery in Asia, and Le Bon Marche’s continued strength.
Revenue in the Fashion and Leather Goods division dropped 6 per cent organically to €27.6 billion (~$32.01 billion), reflecting the normalisation of tourist spending compared with the strong growth seen in 2024. Yet, local demand stayed robust, and LVMH continued to strengthen its creative leadership. Louis Vuitton remained a standout performer, blending heritage and modernity through captivating shows by Nicolas Ghesquière and Pharrell Williams, LVMH said in a press release.
The Maison’s Shanghai destination, The Louis, designed as a museum-like space inspired by a cruise ship, drew significant visitor traffic.
At Christian Dior, the appointment of Jonathan Anderson as creative director ushered in a fresh interpretation of Dior’s ‘new look’, receiving an enthusiastic response for both men’s and women’s collections. The opening of two new House of Dior flagships in New York and Beverly Hills underlined the Maison’s global expansion strategy. Loro Piana reaffirmed its mastery of natural fibres with a new collection presented at Milan’s Palazzo Citterio, while celebrating its continued partnership with Team Europe, winners of the 2025 Ryder Cup.
Fendi witnessed a leadership transition as Silvia Venturini Fendi became honorary president and Maria Grazia Chiuri was appointed chief creative officer. Celine, Loewe, and Givenchy also debuted collections under new creative directors Michael Rider, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, and Sarah Burton, respectively, each receiving strong acclaim for their renewed vision.
Selective Retailing recorded a 3 per cent organic rise in revenue to €12.6 billion, with all three retail banners performing positively.
Duty free shoppers (DFS) showed a marked recovery in the third quarter, particularly in Macao and Hong Kong, benefitting from returning travel and spending by Asian tourists. Streamlining initiatives launched earlier in the year improved operational efficiency and profitability. Le Bon Marche, LVMH’s Parisian department store, posted steady growth driven by its refined product mix, experiential retail focus, and curated cultural events that continue to differentiate it in a competitive retail environment, added the release.
Despite global uncertainties and fluctuating demand patterns, LVMH remains confident in its long-term prospects. The group aims to strengthen the desirability of its brands by focusing on creativity, craftsmanship, and customer experience. With strong local demand and a commitment to sustainability and innovation, LVMH plans to leverage its portfolio’s diversity and brand equity to reinforce its leadership in the global luxury sector throughout 2025.

Urban Outfitters has unveiled a new store concept and retail environment that reimagines its in-store experience with a brighter, more modern, and flexible approach.
Following its debut in Houston, Texas, and a subsequent opening in Glendale, California, the refreshed format reflects the brand’s customer-first philosophy through curated assortments, localized design, and a strong focus on Gen-Z’s favorite styles and brands.
Urban Outfitters plans to open three of its redesigned stores by the end of 2025, with seven additional locations set to follow across the United States in 2026. Each store is tailored to its market, incorporating community nuances and shopping behaviors.
“Our goal is to be the go-to brand and destination for the categories and brands that define our customer’s style, and a source of inspiration through our creativity,” said Shea Jensen, president of Urban Outfitters.
“This new format gives us the freedom to shape our stores around our customers, their lifestyle, and the moments that matter most to them.”
The rollout also reflects Urban Outfitters’ evolving retail strategy, which blends street-level locations like Houston with key mall destinations such as Glendale, noting that 72% of Gen Z consumers still shop in malls.
Each store’s layout and assortment are guided by customer data and local preferences. In Houston, the merchandise mix emphasizes dresses, denim, and accessories that tap into Gen Z’s love of personalization, including handbags, scarves, charms, and bangles. In Glendale, a refreshed men’s strategy takes center stage, expanding into a more complete wardrobe of graphic tees, hoodies, pants, and signature brands, paired with improved wayfinding and in-store navigation.
“Our approach to men’s is about delivering a complete, modern wardrobe that balances trend essentials with the best of brands,” added Bijon Javadzadeh, general manager of merchandising at Urban Outfitters. “We’re evolving with our customer to offer pieces inspired by the culture, communities and moments shaping their style.”
The new store format also introduces elevated beauty sections, expanded footprints for best-selling in-house labels such as BDG Denim, Out From Under, and Standard Cloth, as well as modular fixtures that allow rapid adaptation to seasonal shifts and emerging trends. Fitting rooms have been redesigned with brighter lighting and more space, while warm materials, rich textures, and immersive visual displays enhance the overall shopping experience.

A study in presence and character, this season, athletic codes are retold through elegant tailoring as Wales Bonner reconceptualizes adidas’ signature DNA. From blousons and jackets to tracksuits and jerseys, each apparel piece is both considered and expressive. Turning to accessories, and drawing on adidas’ timeless codes, a duo of leather bowling bags take center stage – transforming historical sporting aesthetics into sculptural forms.
Adidas Originals and Wales Bonner’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection blends sporting heritage with cultural craftsmanship through refined tailoring and expressive design.
The line features elegant apparel, sculptural leather bags, and reimagined classics like the WB Karintha Lo in satin.
The campaign, shot by Chris Rhodes, captures authentic, individual character and creative spirit.
Continuing to advance the collaboration’s established design language, the instantly iconic WB Karintha Lo returns for its third iteration in satin further stretching the possibilities of what an adidas shoe can be and do. Essential in suede, exquisite in sequin, and now shining in satin, the journey of the Karintha continues to unfold.
The Fall/Winter 2025 footwear support cast also plays host to a number of reimagined Trefoil classics – including the WB Japan presented in a lavender tone. A leftfield choice, until you consider that the calming soft purple hue has historically been associated with serenity and purity. The WB Superstar grounds the collaboration back into iconic sports heritage through a crafted perspective, while the WB Adilette is elevated by a considered human touch.
A study in presence and character, the collection is accompanied by a campaign shot by Chris Rhodes and starring an eclectic ensemble of characters. Championing a new wave of counter-cultural energy, the portraits deftly weave together personal narratives from Gene Gallagher, Alva Claire, Shim Mheuka, and Bebe Parnell. Authentic, raw, and undeniably individual, every image brings new meaning into each piece in the collection.
