He has been at the forefront of the catwalk for many years and has already teamed up with prestigious fashion houses for individual lines, including Diesel, Chanel, Moncler and Adidas. And he collaborated with Louis Vuitton in 2008, under the direction of Marc Jacobs, then artistic director, for a line of jewellery and sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Unlimited rise<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Louis Vuitton&#8217;s sales have exploded since the pandemic, and the company is now worth over $20 billion.
