Dior PR director Mathilde Favier and producer Nicolas Altmayer die in car crash

Mathilde Favier, the international public relations director for Dior Couture, and her partner, prominent French film producer Nicolas Altmayer, have died following a head-on car collision in western France. The accident occurred on Monday afternoon near Airvault in the Deux-Sèvres department while the couple was attempting to overtake another vehicle.

Favier, 57, was a highly influential figure in the fashion industry, having joined Dior in 2011 after roles at Prada and Chanel. She was known for managing high-profile celebrity relations for the brand. Altmayer, 61, was a respected producer and co-founder of Mandarin & Compagnie, known for works such as the ‘OSS 117’ series.

Delphine Arnault, CEO of Dior, and Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH, both issued tributes mourning the loss of Favier, describing her as an ‘exceptional woman’ and a ‘loyal friend.’ An investigation into the circumstances of the crash has been opened by the Niort prosecutor’s office to determine exact causes.
