Kering Eyewear’s Post

As we reflect on the highlights of Fashion Week, Gucci's Fall/Winter 2024 collection under Sabato De Sarno's creative direction stands out as a vibrant testament to how tradition and innovation can intertwine, creating something truly remarkable. De Sarno's vision, "This is my way of dreaming, without hurry, visualizing and stratifying aspirations as if they were the bricks of a house," resonates with a deep understanding of heritage and forward-looking ambition. This delicate balance is not just the essence of Gucci's latest collection but a principle that guides many family-led businesses across industries. This season, Gucci has amplified the allure, yet De Sarno remains steadfast in his belief that, "My dreams, as with my fashion, always converse with reality." His approach underlines a broader narrative that values authenticity and practical beauty, principles that are increasingly rare in our fast-paced world. De Sarno's focus on the tangible—product, quality, details, and portability—over the spectacle, highlights a profound commitment to real-world value. "I don't care about the narration, the performance of the show. I am interested in the reality," De Sarno shares, emphasizing the importance of creating fashion that resonates with our daily lives and reflects our values. The narrative of Gucci, under the larger umbrella of Kering, serves as a beacon for the potential of family-led companies to shape industries and drive innovation. This ethos of blending tradition with innovation, and a focus on tangible value over fleeting spectacle, resonates with Cornèr Banca's philosophy. At Cornèr Banca, we recognize the unique strength and resilience that family-led businesses like Kering bring to the economy and society. Our commitment to supporting these entities stems from a belief in their ability to foster sustainable growth and innovation, guided by deep-rooted values and a long-term vision. As we admire the artistry of Gucci's Fall/Winter 2024 collection, we also celebrate the broader ecosystem that nurtures the unique contributions of family-led enterprises. It's a narrative that Cornèr Banca is proud to be a part of, as we continue to support the vision and ambition of family-led businesses that shape our world.   #familybusiness #cornèrbanca #AcrossGen #enterprise

Earlier this week, Miu Miu reported stellar growth for the first quarter of 2024, with revenues up 89% year-on-year — its biggest hike yet. The brand now makes up over a quarter of Prada Group’s revenues. In 2023, Miu Miu’s revenues were up 58% year-on-year (and its fourth-quarter revenues soared 82%). And in 2022, revenues were up 20%. So the clothes are good — but there’s more to it. Mrs Prada has emphasized Miu Miu’s focus on “youthful energy” in recent years — a rejection of the brand’s former ties to expressly young women. The brand’s AW24 casting hammered this home. Miu Miu’s styling makes people want to buy into the fantasy — even via a single item. The styling and cohesion facilitate the storytelling. I'm sure there's more to it but talk about rejuvenation. What are you thoughts ?

How much #buzz does the #fashion industry need in these times? And why do the media (whether normal or social media) always jump on the same mechanisms? These are the questions I am asking myself at the halfway mark of the current men's fashion shows, which end today in Milan and then move on to Paris.   Because if we take a mid-term review, then this picture of the Caten twins, designers of DSQUARED2, will be buzzing around the public, in which one of the two walked the catwalk as a drag queen in the finale. Inclusion is still an important aspect of fashion, we learn from this. And we learn that strong images still score points. Yet other designers have done much better than Dsquared2 this season.   Giorgio Armani has delivered one of his best collections for a long time. The new designer at Gucci, Sabato De Sarno, who got off to a very weak start in the women's department, showed a very fine interpretation of the feminization of men's fashion. As well as Fendi and even DOLCE&GABBANA. We see many exceptionally stylish men's skirts. Jean Paul Gaultier, inventor and pioneer, will be delighted. In general, the #feminization of men continues to progress and in interesting ways.   In my opinion, there is no need for a drag queen performance. And the media should be smarter to pay attention to the beautiful nuances of the collections instead of the bang that was calculated to have a media effect. #fashionconsulting #fashionexpert Credit: CATWALKPICTURES

Hey guys! I just posted a new blog on the FALL RTW 2024 Miu Miu show. Miuccia Prada took a unique approach to memories and life's journey and created a collection that can be described as a 'memory lane'. Miu Miu challenged the rampant barriers to the orthodox idea of 'dressing your age', and showcased the duality of the meaning of the word, 'girlishness'. DO READ MY BLOG TO KNOW MORE! Thankyou!<3 #blog #fashionwriting

📶 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠❓ With Kering facing some headwinds, I took a deep dive into the Lyst Index for insights. 💡 For the uninitiated, the Lyst index is a quarterly ranking of the "hottest" fashion brands. Here’s what I found: ➡ Gucci: dominated in '21 and '22. By '23, they've dipped to 9th place or even lower. ➡ Balenciaga: faced setbacks with their ad scandal late in '22, now slightly behind Gucci. ➡ Louis Vuitton and Dior: both have witnessed a consistent fall since '23. ➡ Miu Miu: has been rapidly ascending the ranks. ➡ Prada: the consistent frontrunner, securing a spot in the top 5 for 3 years straight. The luxury fashion scene never stands still. Some brands fall. Others rise. That’s the excitement of it all. Stay tuned for the next quarter’s shifts! #luxuryindustry #fashionbrands #lystindex 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑐𝑒: 𝐿𝑦𝑠𝑡.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Love this quote about "investment dressing" that I discuss in my seminars. It's all about being thoughtful and strategic with our clothing choices. Investing in classic pieces that stand the test of time and make us feel incredible is key. Remember, it's not about the labels like Chanel, Prada, or Gucci, but rather the timelessness and quality of the pieces we choose. #styletips #style #dresswithstyle #dressforsuccess #confidence #confidencebuilder #forgottengeneration #4565
