Brigitte is wife of Alain Wertheimer (b. 1949) is a Jewish French businessman based in France who, with his brother Gerard own the controlling interest in the House of Chanel) Sorry for my poor english translation. ---- The House of Chanel, more commonly known under the name of Chanel, is a French fashion house founded by Gabrielle Chanel called "Coco Chanel". The company is now owned by Alain Wertheimer and Gerard Wertheimer, France 8th fortune in 2010 with 4.5 billion euro 1, small-son of Coco Chanel partner Pierre Wertheimer. The sales amount to almost one billion euros. The first store was opened in 1909 Chanel in Paris. It was a hat shop. In 1912, Coco Chanel develops its activities by opening, with the financial support of his fellow Boy Capel, a salon at 21 rue Cambon, near the Place Vendome. The following year, she opened two stores in the provinces, a second one in Deauville and Biarritz. The house became especially famous for its elegant little black dress, tweed suit her, and his iconic No. 5 fragrance created in 1921 by Ernest Beaux, who created the then No. 22 (1922), Cuir de Russie (1924), Gardenia ( 1925) and Wood Islands (1926). All were relisted in 1986. Coco Chanel took part in the revolution of high fashion by replacing the traditional corset with comfort and elegance of simple suits and dresses. She dresses women held practical and sober, creates loose clothing, shorter skirts and popularized Jersey, lightweight fabric used for underwear. His style is refined and the colors are neutral. Inspired by the clothes of her lovers and her desire to empower women, Chanel introduced its collections jersey, tweed, buttons and loops of uniform, cardigans, costume jewelry, pants for women and fashion of short hair. The success of the perfume No. 5 Chanel helped raise awareness around the world. Chanel then took up residence at the Ritz Hotel in Paris and later was renamed "Coco Chanel Suite." Although the death of the creator is a milestone in the history of the brand in 1971, but the company tries to integrate into the international market. The era Karl Lagerfeld took off in 1983 when he assumed the position of artistic director of Chanel Mode2. In each of his shows, Karl Lagerfeld knows how to introduce number of models that constitute the contemporary variation of those old Coco's created. In 1994, opened a boutique in Tokyo. Then in 1996 another store was established in Osaka in the Osaka area. Finally, the Omotesando store opened in 2001 in Tokyo, and became the largest in Japan. ---- "The article entitled" Money hidden tax havens ", highlighted from the summary of the site: www.lepoint.fr, to be announced in a headline on the front page of the newspaper reproduced verbatim and published in the "Economy" with an attractive new subtitle, "Scandal, hunting 10 000 billion placed in tax havens is open. Investigation ", contains serious and false accusations detrimental to me, and beyond) Chanel, since my name is mentioned followed by the words" co-owner of Chanel. " Indeed, I am falsely attributed to the status of resident Lyford Cay in the Bahamas, described as a "very private residence and not subject to tax," as well as famous people, but also as "criminals and traffickers all kinds, "the establishment in the tax haven is presented as" a way to escape any tax and social stress. " Such allegations are totally false. I only live in the U.S., and this long. I am tax resident in this country with all the consequences attached to tax and social security, which is easily verifiable. These allegations are also severely detrimental to my dignity, my integrity and my honor, in addition to the reputation of Chanel. It is provided as examples intended to illustrate the reasons behind these tax havens, or fraud and tax evasion for substantial amounts, among which some countries described as "an operetta States" and presented the Bahamas as an "Eden for beautiful people lazing on the beaches of Lyford Cay" that would bring together celebrities, industrialists and individuals known, but also criminals and traffickers. This amalgam of things unfair, gender and people have no place to be for me because it has no basis: it does not qualify as I find it detrimental to an individual as a result of positions of responsibility that I exercise in Chanel. " ---- Right of reply by Mr. Alain Wertheimer, following the June 10 article: "The net worth for cash." "In this article, my honesty has been directly and severely challenged as part of an investigation that was pending against the company WES, specializing in landscaping, as I charged the claimed payment in cash of the sum of two million francs to the company apparently suspected of being involved in an operation with third false invoices, Bernard Wagner, to evade payment of VAT. Indeed, all these charges on my person is completely inaccurate and are even being challenged by all relevant documents that I want available to those eligible. The company WES has conducted various landscaping my property in Normandy for a total of 430.65 francs in 2679 numbered and dated invoices duly established by it for me and showing the amount before taxes and all taxes : These bills were all paid by check denominated in amounts due taxes. " Liberation never wrote Alain Wertheimer had paid in cash the amount he owed to WES. Alain Wertheimer's just part of many customers of this company whose manager, indicted in an investigation by a court of Versailles, said the majority wanted to pay in cash because, he said on the record, " this allowed them to negotiate the price and to avoid the VAT. " According to police investigations, these cash payments of € 1 million since 1993 were then used to bribe officials. Mr. Wertheimer said, therefore, that we paid by check his work. ---- Right of reply by Mr. Alain Wertheimer, following comments made in the right of reply in the newspaper Liberation on July 8, 2004 an article published June 10, 2004 entitled "wealthy clients for cash." The article in Libération on 10 June 2004, "he did not write explicitly" I would have paid in cash the company WES, left at least necessarily imply in terms of content and presentation even . Indeed, it was clearly stated that the Company WES account of "high net worth", among whom I was named, but its leaders are subject to an ongoing criminal investigation, apparently involving a system of false invoicing allowing certain customers to evade payment of VAT, in a context of potential possible corruption of officials. However, these claims were immediately followed by the following: "In some markets, this possibility could be interesting, as in Wertheimer, who paid two million F WES ..." Readers could therefore be a cause and direct effect between the facts narrated above, objects of that criminal proceedings pending, and the services performed by WES for my account for the amount stated very clearly "two million francs "This is detrimental to my person and my honesty, as bills for which the documents exist, were all paid by check, and amount of tax. ---- Wertheimer brothers [Chanel], discreet but effective owners of a luxury brand The French Catherine Deneuve and Carole Bouquet, the Australian Nicole Kidman and more recently the British Keira Knightley, the face of the Chanel around the world embody the elegant "French". Founded almost a century ago, brand capital "C" starts a new chapter in its history. Its owners, Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, as powerful as discrete, have requested an audit of the house to prepare for the future. For if the luxury has never worn as well, competition continues to increase. The mission was entrusted to Maureen Chiquet, an American of 44 years passed through Gap and L'Oreal. Forbes magazine ranked the last year to 80th among the most powerful women in the world. Meanwhile, Françoise Montenay, passed by Mobil Oil, Procter & Gamble, L'Oreal and Ungaro before becoming executive director of Chanel's fashion business for nine years, was named last summer as Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Chanel. All overseen by Alain Wertheimer, "a conductor who can always change the score," slips one observer quoted by Challenges (14/02). Prices doubled in Japan Non-listed and therefore not subject to the publication of its accounts, the group maintains the mystery of its scope: According to weekly sales of Chanel SAS "haute couture, perfumes, fashion design, jewelry," based in Neuilly-sur-Seine, would amount to 1.04 billion euros. Chanel gets most of its revenues from U.S. and Asia: the brand did not hesitate to inflate its prices in Japan, a country where it has doubled its turnover in ten years to reach 700 million. Despite the thickness of the string, the shop in Tokyo is always full. A bag with the price reached 2,500 euros five years ago ... now costs 4500 euros. Needless to find an article less than 450 euros, and even at that price, you come away with a simple weighted card holder. -> Created for Brigitte Wertheimer |
