Kering

One year ago, we launched our Kering Keys Management and Retail program at our Paris headquarters, welcoming a group of ambitious young graduates to BALENCIAGA, Bottega Veneta, Boucheron, Saint Laurent and Kering. Today, we are thrilled to celebrate their achievements as they mark one year with us.   Kering Keys graduate programs are designed to provide an unparalleled opportunity for graduates to explore the full breadth of a career in Luxury.  Over the past 12 months, our graduates have gained hands-on experience with rotations across key business or retail functions, participated in tailored learning sessions, and built invaluable networks with peers, mentors, and leaders across Kering.   We take immense pride in nurturing open-minded, ambitious, and diverse talent, as they contribute fresh perspectives and new ideas that drive our Group forward.   To our graduates—thank you for your energy, commitment, and innovation.  We are excited to see what the future holds for each of you as you continue to grow within our company and shape the future of luxury.

Kering unveils Bottega Veneta’s new campaign starring Brand Ambassador Jacob Elordi. The campaign, captured by Magnum photographer Alec Soth, draws on the brand’s integral code of movement to celebrate “Going Places”. Shot on location in Utah and Nevada, it shows Elordi moving through the dramatic natural features and sleek architecture of the desert. With Elordi in dynamic and balletic poses, the cinematic images spotlight new Bottega Veneta travel accessories and underscore the motion and discovery at the heart of the brand’s heritage. “Bottega Veneta is in essence pragmatic because it is a leather goods company. Because it specialises in bags, it is about movement, going somewhere; there is fundamentally an idea of craft in motion.” - Creative Director Matthieu Blazy. #BottegaVeneta

Set in the historic villa Noailles in Hyères, a hub of artistic exploration since the 1920s, the Hyères International Festival of Fashion, Photography, and Accessories is a celebration of innovation, artistry, and craftsmanship.

Kering unveils Boucheron’s Quatre 5D Memory, imagined by Claire Choisne, Creative Director. This year, Boucheron accomplished the feat of encapsulating the sound of water for billions of years within its jewelry icon. The Maison now unveils the “Quatre 5D Memory” ring, born of cutting-edge innovation serving a creative and artistic dream. 'Quatre 5D Memory' is not just one, but three innovations combined within a single capsule creation. 1- An audio artwork developed in collaboration with IRCAM - Centre Pompidou. 2- A laser engraving data storage process called ‘5D Memory’ used to store the audio within a Boucheron Quatre ring. 3- A silica glass called Glassomer, with unique optical properties, to hold this precious message. This triple technological feat transforms the Quatre ring into a true time(less) capsule. #Boucheron #CarteBlancheHighJewelry #5DMemory
