Louis Vuitton owner LVMH and music star Rihanna have agreed to suspend her fashion line Fenty less than two years after its launch, the French luxury goods giant said. LVMH said in a statement that Fenty’s ready to wear activity, based in Paris, would be ‘put on hold’ pending better conditions – a rare setback for the luxury group, which has weathered the Coronavirus crisis better than most rivals. The R&B singer and LVMH launched the Fenty fashion brand in May 2019, only the second time the French group had set a label up from scratch as it looked to tap soaring demand for luxury celebrity collaborations.
