Fashion queen Tory Burch is dating Pierre-Yves Roussel, the dashing CEO of LVMH Fashion Group, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
Burch has recently started seeing Roussel, who is based in Paris and handles notable labels including Celine, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, Pucci, Kenzo, Nicholas Kirkwood and JW Anderson.
A source tells us, “It is a new and recent relationship, but yes, they are dating.”
Roussel sat front-row at Tory’s New York Fashion Week show in February 2013, sparking rumors that LVMH could invest in Tory’s wildly successful brand.
Roussel, who is credited with bringing Phoebe Philo into Céline and appointed Carol Lim and Humberto Leon as co-creative directors of Kenzo, explained to reporters about his appearance at Tory’s show, “I like what she does. That’s the only reason.”
Our source added, “Tory and Pierre met through work. But LVMH is not an investor in Tory Burch at this time.”
A rep for Tory, who dated music exec Lyor Cohen for five years until February last year, said, “We do not comment on Tory’s personal life.”
