Antoine Arnault, 46, is also in charge of image and environment at LVMH, and credited with negotiating a high-profile deal for the company to sponsor next summer's Paris Olympic Games.
He will remain chairman of Berluti, which he has managed since 2012, as well as another LVMH fashion brand Loro Piana.
Jean-Marc Mansvelt, CEO of historic jewellery label Chaumet, will become CEO of Berluti, while Charles Leung, CEO of jewellery label Fred, will become CEO of Chaumet.
The group will seek a successor for Leung, who recently created buzz by introducing high-end jewellery featuring lab-created diamonds.
