These tools, including Unreal Engine, Reality Capture, Twinmotion, and MetaHuman technology will help LVMH unlock significant growth opportunities. With a resolutely future facing spirit, LVMH and its Maisons have continually updated their offering to engage with new practices while respecting their timeless assets and heritage. This same ethos guides the partnership forged with Epic Games.LVMH will be able to leverage the world-renowned expertise of Epic to enrich the experiences proposed to its customers in virtual worlds, tightening an alignment with the group’s core strengths in the real world – the inimitable know-how of its production workshops and ownership of its networks of stores, LVMH said in a press release.

“We have always been committed to innovations with the potential to bring our customers new experiences. Interactive games, which have developed into a full-fledged cultural phenomenon, are a perfect example. The partnership with Epic Games will accelerate our expertise in 3D tools and ecosystems, from the creation of new collections to ad campaigns and to our Maisons’ websites. We will also engage more effectively with young generations who are very much at ease with these codes and uses,” said Toni Belloni, LVMH group managing director.“With this partnership, we will work with LVMH’s designers to transform physical and digital product creation using Epic’s suite of advanced creator tools. We are excited to accelerate the group’s adoption of Unreal Engine, Reality Capture, Twinmotion and MetaHuman technology, and help LVMH’s global brands engage with customers through immersive digital experiences,” said Bill Clifford, VP, Unreal Engine at Epic Games.Several LVMH Maisons have already successfully adopted solutions from Epic. During Viva Technology in 2022, Bulgari unveiled a captivating metaverse experience inspired by ancient Rome dubbed “Virtual Rome”. The project was developed using Epic’s Unreal Engine 5, resulting in stunning realism.
