Louis Vuitton (LVMH Group) May Buy Rodarte

 LVMH North America chairman Renauld Dutreil had a front-row seat at the Mulleavy's show on Tuesday, prompting a renewed round of speculation that LVMH may be looking to invest in the company. LVMH's interest in Rodarte was said to begin following their May 2009 CFDA win for women's wear designers of the year. Dutreil did not respond to a request for comment; a representative for Rodarte declined to discuss the matter. -Dispatch
