Although LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault was unable to reverse that on a trip to the ancient world's most ambitious building project last Friday night, LVMH did succeed in floodlighting a fashion runway atop the wall, lighting up the stairway to the beacon towers at Juyongguan Pass, as well as the surrounding mountain tops and, to the surprise of some Chinese guests in an audience which included movie star Ziyi Zhang and the granddaughter of reformist leader, Deng Xiaoping, branding the hillsides with projections...

With a mandate from LVMH boss Bernard Arnault to turn the company around, Burke had to find a way to keep designer Karl Lagerfeld in the fold and also massage a better relationship between the designer and Silvia Venturini Fendi, the talent behind Fendi's handbag business.
