 PROFILE
Galeries Lafayette wants you to look at all the displays "and" take something home. The firm is best known for its department stores, including its famous Paris flagship store. The Galeries Lafayette and Nouvelle Galeries stores offer private-label and designer apparel under names such as Christian LaCroix, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Yves Saint Laurent. The company also runs BHV (home furnishings) and the Monoprix and Prisunic hypermarkets, which sell groceries and moderately priced clothing, furniture, and cosmetics. The LaSer division offers retailers expertise in consumer credit, computers, and e-commerce. Noelle Meyer and Ginette Moulin, whose families helped build the company, own nearly 70% of the company.
