Tony Blair to join LVMH?
By Emma Sells | Posted: Tue 12 Jan 2010
Well we never thought we'd be writing about Tony Blair on the ELLE news desk, but here we are. It seems that after trying his hand at being Prime Minister and a Middle East peace envoy, Blair has decided to give the world of fashion a whirl.
According to the Daily Telegraph Blair is in final negotiations to join Luxury goods brand LVMH - not as a designer you understand, but as an advisor to head of the company (and close friend of the politician), Bernard Arnault.
A source revealed, 'There is an agreement in principle but nothing has been signed yet. Mr Blair won’t be joining the board but he will be acting in an advisory role, working very closely with Mr Arnault. In particular, his job is likely to involve attracting new clients.' Apparently he is due to take up his new role later this year. We wonder if he'll be sat front row at fashion week?
