PARIS, France, January 29, 2025 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – Stella McCartney is repurchasing the minority stake held by LVMH in the house she founded about five years after the luxury group brought it, LVMH and Stella McCartney said in a statement on Monday.

McCartney will continue to advise LVMH chief executive Bernard Arnault and the group’s executive team on sustainability issues as a Global Ambassador on Sustainability, they said.

The designer, whose label was previously linked to LVMH’s cross town rival, Gucci – owner Kering, surprised the fashion world when her namesake brand left Kering to team up with LVMH in 2019.
