A wedding of luxury, fashion and fortune: Alexandre Arnault, son of the third richest man in the world, marries

Fashion and luxury have come together this weekend in Paris to celebrate a long-awaited wedding. The marriage between Alexandre Arnault and Geraldine Guyot, a couple who had been together for more than two decades and who have decided to get married. A wedding, in addition, with little media coverage - by the spouses' own decision - but with great interest: the groom is the son of Bernard Arnault, the richest man in France and the third in the world only behind Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk (with whom he is very tied). The Arnaults accumulate a wealth that has doubled in the last year and that exceeds 160,000 million euros.

The family is the founder and owner of the LVMH fashion conglomerate, owner among others of houses such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Loewe, Givenchy, Sephora, Guerlain, Hublot, Bulgari or Tiffany & Co.

Alexandre Arnault, Bernard's third son, has been the executive vice president of the jewelery brand at 29 years of age since last January.

Previously, for more than four years, he was CEO of the Rimowa luggage brand, also part of the luxury conglomerate.

For her part, the bride also belongs to the world of fashion, although in another dimension. Guyot studied art at the prestigious Central Saint Martins school in London, did an internship at Christie's auction house and has his own accessories brand called D'estrëe which he founded in 2015 and was joined shortly after by his partner, Laetitia Lumbroso. Their first line was dedicated to hats, and they soon made the leap to leather accessories and jewelry, which have taken from Beyoncé to Selena Gomez. The prices of hats are around 300 euros, while those of bags are between 600 and 1,100, and are sold in high-end stores such as Galeries Lafayette, Nordstrom and Bergdorf Goodman. The past 2020

For the occasion, the bride did not wear her brand, more focused on accessories, but rather trusted Jonathan Anderson, creative director of the firm Loewe, who signed her dress: white, straight, with puffed sleeves, at the ankles and with flower applications, which she accompanied with white leather sandals and a bouquet of the same colors.

The only public images of the bride and groom on their link are those that they themselves have posted on their social media profiles.

"It all started in 1998 and now it's a YES for life," wrote Arnault.

In other words, the two - who got engaged at the end of last December - have known each other since they were children, because Arnault was born in 1992 and his already wife is of a similar age.

While Guyot is one of the most observed creators on the French scene, her now husband is a consolidated businessman who follows the family trail created by Bernard Arnault when he started, back in 1985, investing a good part of his fortune in taking control by Christian Dior. The rest of the Arnault clan is also in business, in different departments and for different purposes. The best known is Delphine, the eldest, 49 years old and the result of Arnault's first marriage to Anne Dewavrin. She is vice president of Louis Vuitton and responsible for the LVMH award for young talents that he created in 2014. Behind her is her brother Antoine, also well known, both for his position as director of communication for the entire family conglomerate and for being the husband of the Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova,with whom he has been in a relationship for a decade. From Arnault's second marriage to the Canadian pianist Hélène Mercier, Alexandre was born, the groom of this wedding and one of the most responsible for Tiffany. After him is Frédéric, 26, who last June was appointed CEO of the watch firm Tag Heuer, and behind him is the little boy, Jean, 23, who has already done an internship at the large Louis Vuitton store in the Champs Elysees in Paris.23 years old and who has already done an internship at the large Louis Vuitton store on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.23 years old and who has already done an internship at the large Louis Vuitton store on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
