📚 As many of you I dropped my girls to school this morning, September reminds us that learning is not just a return, but a renewal. At LVMH, we believe learning never stops. From classrooms to digital modules, from ateliers to our Institut des Métiers d’Excellence, continuous learning is the way we nurture creativity, agility, and leadership. It is not only about developing people — it is how we shape the future of our métiers and reinvent excellence every day. And while we embrace this spirit of renewal, we also carry with us the energy, optimism, and fresh perspective of summer — because the best ideas often come when we take time to recharge. Most importantly, learning should never be seen as the privilege of children or students alone. It unites generations, passing on savoir-faire, creativity, and innovation across time. Students return to school, we ask ourselves the same question: What are we excited to learn next? ✨ Here’s to a season of discovery, innovation, and shared knowledge. 👉 And I’d love to hear from you: what did you learn over the summer — and is there anything you’d recommend to others? #BackToSchool #LifeAtLVMH #ContinuousLearning #SummerVibes #Generations
Over the summer, I finished my degree course in Strategic Management and Leadership, and I am now continuing my learning on communication, leadership, and innovation.
Impressive Maud so inspiring and positive just learning from you
💬 “If education is proclaimed as the engine of luxury, why do so many maisons treat learning as a mere protocol showcase? While official statements celebrate reinvention, backstage reveals rigid departments, repetitive directives, and concepts packaged as relics. In the end, the rhetoric of renewal becomes nothing more than a bureaucratic ornament — elegant, yet hollow. Luxury that fears rupture does not learn: it only repeats its own irrelevance in a golden tone.” — Gabriela Falcão
Love it! Indeed summer is a great period when we slow down and have more quality time to learn smth new. Personally I did two Louvre Art History courses and actively trained my AI skills with AI COURSIV app (strongly recommend for all who want to strengthen their prompting skills around different apps (Claude, Deep Seek etc)).
Love to read these words. Now, I would love to recommend to the big companies to hear this. Developing internal talent is key whilst at the same time being open to new profiles outside who have been successful and who have at some point stop being considered on a learning curve (and therefore many may have quit their company). The learning curve of a talented individual never stops growing and the AI penetration today is on of the proofs. If a company today positions herself as a “new skills giver” and not a “competences taker” it will attract talent and success!

Thank you for such a beautiful reminder. Learning is the bridge between who we are and who we might become. It's a journey that welcomes every age, every story and every heart.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Maud Alvarez-Pereyre. For me, the summer holidays are special moments when we renew ourselves by stepping back, focussing on family and friends, finding joy in moments shared, a beautiful view, a great meal, etc. and recharging our emotional batteries. The more a period is challenging and tough, the more we need to know how to « keep going and do our best » whatever is happening all around us in our troubled world.
What resonates is the idea that learning is never just about skills, it’s how creativity and excellence are sustained across generations.

1moA wonderful reminder that learning is truly a lifelong journey. September brings not only new beginnings for students, but also fresh energy for all of us to keep growing, sharing, and reinventing excellence together. This summer I read Ultralearning by Scott Young — a powerful nudge to keep challenging ourselves to learn with purpose and intensity.
