Luxury is not a sector we observe from a distance. Stéphane Olmi worked alongside Bernard Arnault on the earliest transactions that shaped the LVMH Group and eventually joined the avant-garde designer Willi Smith in New York. Christian Giacomotto has spent decades at the intersection of art, culture, and the economics of rare things. We understand luxury and art from the inside: its intangible value, its clientele, and what a transaction must preserve as well as what it must create.
M&A advisory for luxury maisons, heritage brands, artisanal platforms, and luxury conglomerates.
Deep understanding of intangible value: provenance, craft, clientele, and the weight that a name carries in a transaction.
Advisory for founder and family-owned luxury businesses navigating succession, consolidation, or strategic partnership.
Cross-border luxury M&A with particular expertise in Franco-European and global luxury market dynamics.
Sector relationships across the full luxury value chain: from ateliers to retail, from raw materials to distribution.
Understanding of luxury brand equity and the implications of every structural decision on what has been built.
Direct experience: Stéphane Olmi’s early career at LVMH together with his daughter Helena experience at Cartier gives this practice an authenticity no other boutique can claim.
