SIDNEY TOLEDANO
CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, LVMH FASHION GROUP - 2010
"Today, fashion is global. It is enriched by the diversity of cultures from all over the world. The Mediterranean plays a key role on the international stage. Between shores and continents, it fosters the exchange of knowledge and creativity. And it has been doing so since Antiquity. It boasts exceptional traditional know-how: a treasure to be protected, safeguarded and promoted. Marseille is a city close to my heart. I love its richness, energy and palpable enthusiasm. Fashion here is appreciated and loved; it symbolizes life. It was an obvious choice for Christian Dior Couture to become a patron of the MMM.
