Virgil has been known for working on unique collaborations that have built the hype around his brand, and LMVH hopes to create the same by thinking outside the box when it comes to the companies <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/summer-colour-trend-approved-by-influencers\/\">categories<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bernard Arnault, the company&#8217;s chairman and chief executive officer, shares, &#8220;We are thrilled to expand our successful partnership with Virgil. We have already had the privilege of witnessing Virgil&#8217;s exceptional creativity and vision through his work with us at Louis Vuitton.
