Hugo & Victor: a gourmet success story

6 April 2014/0 Comments/in Books, Brand Development, Interviews /by Sophie

There’s a little gourmet brand born in Paris, growing and expanding: Hugo & Victor. After barely 4 years, several shops opening and the beginning of an international expansion, the brand is – already – publishing a book: « Les 5 saisons par Hugo & Victor Paris – 80 créations au fil des saisons » (“The 5 Seasons by Hugo & Victor Paris – 80 Creations through the Seasons”. Is it speed or haste?

I have met Sylvain Blanc for a passion-story-interview so as to understand the Hugo & Victor mechanism: a young and true success story.

Influenzia has just published an article about the luxury field schizophrenia. There is a real gap indeed between the values conveyed, highlighted by luxury brands and the habits or expectations of our time. But luxury is often the legacy of another time. This gap is no surprise then.

In 2012, Guerlain forcefully made its own the field of the little black dress (with the public launch of its perfume created in 2008). A great classic was suddenly swallowed up.

The legacy of some brands is sometimes simply dazzling. Among them, wines and spirits are often to be found in a prominent position. But few estates can boast of such a great connection between tradition, innovation, national and international history as Château Haut-Brion.

Fabergé – Historical treasures, a promise of excellence?

12 June 2010/0 Comments/in Sites /by Sophie

Peter Carl Fabergé was a man of great modernity, a visionary. But the closing down of his company (1917), because of the Russian Revolution, then the family loss of the rights on the brand almost caused the end of this legacy, of which only the famous eggs remained in public imagination and memory. In 2007, Pallinghurst, a specialized investment firm, buys the brand. Its purpose is to restore its image, and to position it as one of the great names in jewelry trade. It launches an inaugural collection, creates a “Council of Fabergé legacy” and makes two female descendants of the family join the company. Thus, in September 2009, Fabergé Limited is officially revived.
