Mixing Politics With Fashion

Bernard Arnault, who practically owns the French fashion industry, has managed to persuade Bernadette Chirac, wife of the former French President Jacques Chirac, to join his board at LVMH.

Chirac is a front-row regular and BFF of King Karl, which makes sense of her invitation to appear at Arnault's court. 

The appointment is further made relevant by a new French law currently being drafted that would oblige publicly traded companies to have a minimum of 40 percent female input within their staff of directors.

Being a woman has never been more fashionable!
