Kering

Celebrating Innovation in Sustainable Fashion & Beauty.   Last week, Kering hosted the inaugural Kering Generation Award X Japan ceremony in Tokyo, recognizing trailblazing startups driving sustainability across fashion and beauty. The first prize was awarded to Fermenstation, a pioneering Japanese venture company transforming food waste into natural aromatic essences through fermentation technology. AMPHICO secured second place, Algal Bio placed third - with Micro Bio Factory receiving a special prize.   The ceremony’s trophy was created by YI DESIGN, winner of the Kering Generation Award X China’s third installment. Made from recycled ceramic fragments, the award was presented to the winners by Kering Chairman and CEO, François-Henri Pinault, Kering Chief Sustainability and Institutional Affairs Officer, Marie-Claire Daveu, Kering Beauté CEO Raffaella Cornaggia, and Kering North & South-East Asia Pacific President, Thierry Marty.   "It was a natural choice to host this award in Japan, a country that is a crucial hub for our business and has a deep understanding of innovation and craftsmanship. We strongly believe that innovation is essential as luxury transitions to a more sustainable model, and through the Kering Generation Award, we aim to promote ideas and solutions that contribute to a new paradigm in the fashion industry." - François-Henri Pinault, Kering Chairman and CEO.   Since its 2018 inception, the Kering Generation Award has empowered sustainability-driven startups in China, recently expanding to Japan, Saudi Arabia, and the jewelry industry. Launched in 2024 with the support of CIC Japan, the first Kering Generation Award X Japan focused on Sustainable Fashion & Beauty. With nearly 130 received applications, this inaugural edition marks an exciting step toward a more sustainable future for fashion and beauty in Japan.   More info: https://lnkd.in/dDqJ4yvd   #KeringForSustainability

Kering unveils details from BALENCIAGA’s Winter 25 collection. This collection is based on a study of standard dress codes, and what it takes to twist standard fits and garments into a fashion context, featuring select pieces in faux fur. Focused on a sociological observation of the wardrobe underpinned by dressmaking principles and a pursuit of the golden ratio—an exercise in rigour, a challenge, a defining and a rethinking of standards. #Balenciaga

In honor of International Women’s Day, Kering unveils Pomellato’s compelling new chapter in its Pomellato for Women initiative. Through its 8th annual video campaign, the House delivers an urgent message calling for collective responsibility and action against violence. “Domestic violence is a collective wound that scars our entire society. As a Maison that has cared for women since 1967, we believe that transformation begins when we all accept our role as social sentinels. This means being vigilant and brave enough to act. It means understanding that silence is not neutrality – it is complicity. We must move beyond awareness to action, beyond sympathy to systemic change.” - Pomellato CEO Sabina Belli. The campaign features an influential ensemble including Academy award-winning actress and activist Jane Fonda, award-winning actress, director, producer, and activist America Ferrera, actress and founder of the NGO The Joyful Heart Foundation Mariska Hargitay, actress Laura Harrier, Olympic athlete Mattia Furlani, and renowned Professor of experimental biology Vita Salute San Raffaele University Milan Italy Gianvito Martino, who join forces with Pomellato CEO and founder of #PomellatoForWomen platform, Sabina Belli to challenge society’s complicity in this crisis. Pomellato continues to support CADMI, Milan’s first anti-violence center for women, and FreeForm, the Kering Foundation’s L.A. partner dedicated to establishing financial security for survivors. #Pomellato #PomellatoForWomen #InternationalWomensDay #SocialSentinels

At Kering, we strive to empower women, not just on International Women's Day, but every day. This year, we are championing allyship because real progress in gender equality happens when individuals and organizations actively stand up and take action. With women making up 58 % of our managers and 63 % of our total workforce, we are dedicated to advancing women's careers at all levels, with a wide range of policies and tangible initiatives. Our gender-neutral parental leave policy, Baby Leave, helps level the playing field and dismantle gender stereotypes. Meanwhile, our Women in Luxury internal community fosters meaningful connections, supporting women as they navigate careers in the luxury industry. But our impact extends far beyond our workplace. Since 2008, the Kering Foundation has been fighting gender-based violence, while Women In Motion amplifies the voices of women in the arts, providing them with a broader platform and celebrating their contributions to the cultural landscape. As part of this ongoing support to female artists, Kering has been marking International Women’s Day by giving carte blanche to a talented female artist around the theme ‘Not Just Today’ since 2019. This year, we are proud to partner with Malika Favre, a French artist whose bold and distinctive work is a tribute to women everywhere. We are shaping a more inclusive, more caring, more equitable vision of Luxury. Not just today, but every day.
