Meghan Markle’s Potential Deal with Dior Dismissed as Rumors Cause Sales Slump
Speculations regarding a potential partnership between Meghan Markle and French couture house, Dior, have been debunked by LVMH president, Bernard Arnault.
The rumors emerged after British columnist Caroline Graham of the Daily Mail reported that the Duchess of Sussex was on the verge of signing a massive deal with the renowned fashion brand.
However, it appears that these claims hold no truth.
According to sources cited by Graham, there were talks of Meghan becoming the face of Dior, much like Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence.
It was further fueled by Prince Harry's alleged contract with the brand, which was said to have been formed when he wore one of their shirts to court.
Nevertheless, the creative director of Dior took to his personal Instagram to clarify that the prince had no contract with the brand and had purchased the suit himself.
While Dior falls under the umbrella of LVMH, a company owned by Bernard Arnault, the speculations surrounding Meghan's collaboration with the brand are baseless.
Luxury fashion brands, including Dior, prioritize profitability and strategic partnerships.
Meghan's association with the royal family does not contribute to the brand's bottom line, unlike other royals and socialites who have successful modeling careers and brand endorsements.
Moreover, given Anna Wintour's influential position as the editor-in-chief of Vogue, luxury brands like Dior prefer to maintain a positive relationship with her.
Wintour is known for her admiration of the royal family and her significant influence in the fashion industry.
This further diminishes the likelihood of Meghan being considered for any major fashion collaborations, such as the Met Gala or appearing in Vogue.
Comparing Meghan to talents like Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence, it becomes apparent that she does not possess the same appeal or marketability.
While the Duchess has been seen wearing Dior products in the past, such as the monogram handbag that read DSSOS, it did not translate into increased sales for the brand.
In fact, Dior was forced to reduce the prices of its entire product line after Meghan's endorsement.
In conclusion, the rumors surrounding Meghan Markle's potential deal with Dior have been dismissed by LVMH president, Bernard Arnault.
Luxury fashion brands prioritize profitability and strategic partnerships, and Meghan's association with the royal family does not contribute to their bottom line.
With Anna Wintour's influence and the success of other royals and socialites in the modeling industry, it is unlikely that Meghan will secure any major fashion collaborations.
