Klatsky Joins Equity Firm/2 Yurman's Wedding March/15 KLATSKY JOINS EQUITY FIRM/2 YURMAN’S WEDDING MARCH/15 WWDWomen’s Wear Daily • The Retailers’MONDAY Daily Newspaper • October 10, 2005 • $2.00 Accessories/Innerwear/Legwear King Louis By Miles Socha PARIS — The world’s largest Louis Vuitton store, christened here during the climax of Paris Fashion Week, doesn’t feel that big at all. Which is the whole point, according to Vuitton chief executive officer Yves Carcelle. “It’s completely against the idea of gigantism. We want it to be an intimate promenade,” he said Sunday morning, giving WWD the first walk-through of the sumptuous 20,500-square-foot boutique in a landmark building on the Champs Elysées. Indeed, beyond the soaring atrium at the entrance — flanked by a Donald Judd-like arrangement of red trunks that signals more art is to come — and then a vast room some early visitors likened to a cathedral, are a series of human- scale rooms devoted to Vuitton’s ever-expanding range of products. “We don’t want people to be stressed by the size,” Carcelle said. “It’s all about little rooms you discover one after the other.” Still, Vuitton’s ceo trumpeted the store as a new must-visit attraction in the City of Lights and a showcase that is bound to have a global impact on the world’s biggest luxury brand, already riding high at a heady time for the sector. And Vuitton’s roll continued at its high-energy show Sunday night, where Marc Jacobs presented one of the standout collections of the season for the house. (For more on the collection, see page 4.)

It brings together the first freestanding column in Paris, erected during the sixteenth century, with vestiges of a circular Halle au Blé (grain market) built during the eighteenth-century and located at the heart of Paris’s most impor- tant housing development at the time. The site was adapted into a Bourse de Commerce (stock market) in 1889. Because of the exceptional nature of this building, it was soon attributed landmark status: the Medici column in 1862, the entirety of the Bourse in 1975, and the dome in 1986—an indication of the significance of the site.

  • Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies
    RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN ASIA Kuo (ed.) Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Edited by Cheng-tian Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Society in Asia The Religion and Society in Asia series presents state-of-the-art cross-disciplinary academic research on colonial, postcolonial and contemporary entanglements between the socio-political and the religious, including the politics of religion, throughout Asian societies. It thus explores how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities directly and indirectly impact on local moral geographies, identity politics, political parties, civil society organizations, economic interests, and the law. It brings into view how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities are in turn configured according to socio-political, economic as well as security interests. The series provides brand new comparative material on how notions of self and other as well as justice and the commonweal have been predicated upon ‘the religious’ in Asia since the colonial/imperialist period until today.

  • FRENCH BUSINESS CLIMATE PLEDGE 39 Major French Companies Take Concrete Action to Combat Climate Change
    FRENCH BUSINESS CLIMATE PLEDGE 39 major French companies take concrete action to combat climate change Paris, November 26, 2015 – In the lead-up to the Paris climate summit (COP 21), 39 major French companies, employing a total of 4.4 million people worldwide and generating sales of 1,200 billion euros, have made a firm commitment to combat climate change. By signing this climate pledge, they want to contribute to making COP 21 a success and to limiting the warming of the Earth to 2°C. They emphasize their driving role and leadership in the fight for a more sustainable world. Active since many years, these companies are taking concrete steps to reduce their carbon footprint through: − The use of active and passive energy efficiency solutions, − The use of renewable energy, notably hydro, wind or solar energy, − The systematic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life cycle of their products, − The development of new low-carbon materials and solutions, − The reduction of food waste and packaging, − The adoption of long-term investment strategies actively promoting the energy transition. From 2016 to 2020, the 39 companies plan to invest at least 45 billion euros in industrial projects and R&D devoted to renewable energy, energy efficiency and other low carbon technologies. Over the same period, they also intend to provide bank and bond financing of at least 80 billion euros for projects contributing to the fight against climate change. In addition, they foresee low carbon investments of 15 billion euros in new nuclear capacities and investments of 30 billion euros in natural gas as energy transition solution, planned over the next five years.

  • Asian Cultural Objects in Europe. Art Market Expansion and the Illicit Trafficking of Cultural Heritage: an Outline of Legal Issues
    JULIA Stepnowska ASIAN cultural OBJECTS IN Europe. Art MARKET expansion AND THE ILLICIT TRAFFICKING OF cultural heritage: AN OUTLINE OF LEGAL ISSUES Introduction Ever since art has been made, there has been a market for it.1 Although the first entries on the history of the art market begin with Egyptian art dealers shipping goods to Crete,2 the 21st century hub of the art world moves further east. Mainland China and Hong Kong have become vibrant art market centres.3 In the face of the growing visibility of those markets and erratic geopolitical times, the issue of Asian art objects found nowadays in Europe is a wide-ranging and promi- nent concern. The aim of this study is to bring attention to the co-relation between the development of the Asian art market along with its visibility in the West and the illicit trafficking of Asian cultural goods paradoxically fostering the improvement of preventive measures. Since the Asian art market is not homogenous, the following study focuses primarily on the context of transactions between Mainland China, Hong Kong, and the Member States of the European Union.4 As the most recurring objects in the context of illicit export and trade of Asian cultural goods are antiques, this study brings forward cases of such practices. Before exploring the case of East- ern heritage in the West, an overview of the actors on the Asian art market needs to be brought forward, since the institutional importance of cultural entities influences the status of cultural objects, both in the country of origin and abroad.
