Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui speak to BoF’s Tim Blanks about their new docuseries, which examines the formation of LVMH and Kering and how designers John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford helped bosses Bernard Arnault and François Pinault build a ‘Kingdom of Dreams.’

Tim Blanks talks to the creators of ‘Kingdom of Dreams,’ a new documentary series on how the corporatisation of luxury fashion made superstars of John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, and built gilded empires for Bernard Arnault and François Pinault.

The family-controlled French giants are well positioned to further dominate the luxury fashion sector. But neither can afford to ignore the threat of disruption.

The blockbuster success of Gucci, which surpassed €6 billion in sales for the first time in 2017, continues to drive Kering's record-breaking growth. Can the conglomerate maintain its momentum?
