LVMH CEO Warns of 'World Catastrophe' If Middle East Conflict Not Resolved

LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault warned at the company's Paris AGM that the Middle East conflict could cause a 'world catastrophe' with serious economic impact. The conflict halved the luxury giant's Q1 sales growth to just 1%, raising concerns about the sector's expected 2026 recovery. Arnault said if the conflict isn't resolved, 2026 could be severely impacted, but if resolved, business could recover in H2.

Italian regulator investigates LVMH over skincare marketing to children via young influencers

The Italian Competition Authority has launched an investigation into LVMH-owned brands Benefit and Sephora for allegedly marketing anti-aging skincare to children under 10 through young micro-influencers. The investigation follows Guardian findings of ambassador programmes accepting children as young as 13, with some influencers appearing to be aged 12. Dermatologists warn children don't need most skincare products, while legal experts say existing child protection laws do not extend to child influencers, creating a regulatory grey area.
