Louis Vuitton is the most powerful Luxury brand

[Liberté]

according to Forbes:

Louis Vuitton




Brand Value: $25.74 million
As the marquee brand of French conglomerate LVMH, nothing--not even a strong euro and dwindling U.S. economy--can stop Louis Vuitton's growth. Most recently, the company launched an ad campaign focused on its core customer, the luxury traveler, instead of the fashionista, who has adopted the brand as her own in the past decade. In the fashion and accessories division, of which Louis Vuitton is a part, LVMH reported revenues of 1.5 billion euros


($2.3 billion) in the first quarter of 2008, jumping 7.1% from 1.4 billion euros ($1.9 billion) in the corresponding period from 2007.
*Louis Vuitton is a client of advertising firm Ogilvy and Mather, which is owned by WPP.

Good read: Confirms what we all know already

Louis Vuitton has some SERIOUS staying power!

4/10 brands on that list are owned by LVMH. I was very surprised by the lack of DIOR. It's one of the most recognised brands in the world.

Wow that is a HUGE difference between LV & Hermes

[shopsinparis]

Not surprised LV is number 1, but I am surprised to see Chanel is no.5 (is that a perfume joke)!
