Mimi Duch is the business editor of Fashion to See. She covers the part of the industry that gets reported least and decides the most: half-year results, acquisitions, price architecture, wholesale, and the resale market that has grown to a size the houses can no longer describe as somebody else's problem.
Her position on luxury reporting is that the numbers are usually available and usually unread. A group discloses its divisional growth every quarter, in public, and most coverage of that disclosure repeats the headline figure without asking which of the two numbers in it contradicts the other.
She works from the filings outward: what the group said, what the segment data says underneath it, and what a dealer or a buyer says when the release is three weeks old. Based in Barcelona.
