Pronovias Group’s Post

The Italian subsidiary of Dior is under judicial administration – the dark side of the “Made in Italy” luxury brands. Dior is not the first fashion company targeted by the Milan Court for employment issues. In April, judicial administration was ordered for Giorgio Armani Operations Spa, which designs and produces clothing and accessories for the fashion group, following an investigation concerning the alleged exploitation of labour through the use of contracts for the production of illegal factories and the use of illegal and clandestine Chinese labour. In January, the judicial administration measure was taken for Alviero Martini Spa, deemed "incapable of preventing and curbing phenomena of labour exploitation within the production cycle". This is the sad truth about the so-called “Made in Italy “production of a lot of luxury companies. That is why the EU's new directives measures to ensure that textiles are produced circularly, sustainably and socially justly are not made just for fast fashion brands but also for luxury brands that have increased their price since 2019 by up to 33%. I firmly believe that the excuse of the fashion industry's complex supply chain being difficult to control is unacceptable. If the same money allocated for advertising and brand building were used to improve working conditions and reduce the fashion industry's environmental impact, it would greatly benefit the industry. It's crucial to ensure that a fair share of earnings reaches the people at the beginning of the supply chain, allowing for sustainable growth and granting equal rights for both men and women to build their own and their children's futures. As a consultant, I have insight into the manufacturing operations of my clients. Being a woman, I am particularly sensitive to ensuring good working conditions for both genders and providing opportunities for personal growth and development for all individuals.   https://lnkd.in/d8XDUvSE

Website #2JourCheck: which quiet luxury brand sells men's shirt better Although fashion trend for the so-called #QuietLuxury became viral last year, its regular consumers fall into a small group of people. They usually do not like to be in the spotlight, but like to be sure about their choices. Today I am going to review the product pages in e-shops of the same item category from three brands which I consider first in the context of menswear quiet luxury brands - Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, and Zegna. *** There are some differences in e-selling luxury to men and women. For men it’s important to have information displayed clear and fully and to focus on functionality and status, rather then storytelling and emotional connection. *** How to sell quiet luxury fashion to men, who sells the men shirt better and who doesn't give enough to make an informed decision - #BrunelloCucinelli, #LoroPiana or #Zegna - in my new publication: https://lnkd.in/drDKTiQy #ecommerce #luxury #luxuryfashion #ClientRelations LVMH #LVMH

Differentiation is always crucial for #independentretailers especially in sectors like #fashion where you need to stand out for factors other than price. Visits to international trade fairs is a great way to refresh your offering with something that your competitors don’t have. Even better an event like MOMAD Madrid which offers clothing footwear and accessories in one event. #fashionbuyers #retailers

Fashion and luxury collaborations are all the buzz! 💼👠 But are they truly driving sales and attracting new customers, or are they more of a smoke and mirrors game?🪞 In a world where brands like Gucci and Adidas team up, or Balenciaga and Crocs surprise the market, it's easy to get swept up in the excitement of novelty and exclusivity. 🛍️ Beyond the logos and steep price tags, these collaborations raise questions about authenticity and differentiation. Is it really worth shelling out thousands of dollars more for an item just for the brand name?🤷🏻♀️ Are luxury brands, potentially struggling to maintain their relevance? Or are the corporate giants behind them reaping the rewards?👀 In a fast-paced fashion landscape, renowned brands like Chanel are making strategic moves to safeguard their legacy and identity, while others are diving into collaborations to stay afloat amidst ever-changing trends.🙄 #Fashion #LuxuryCollaborations #FashionTrends

#MaximilianDavis, the Creative Director of Italian luxury brand FERRAGAMO, was awarded the prestigious title of British Womenswear Designer of the Year at The Fashion Awards 2023. This significant recognition came after Davis took the helm as Ferragamo's creative leader. The award ceremony, held at The Royal Albert Hall in London on December 4, 2023, was a notable event in the fashion industry, attended by influential figures including Ferragamo Group CEO #MarcoGobbetti and others. Davis's arrival at Ferragamo marked a new chapter for the brand, one focused on revitalizing its image. His design approach has been characterized by a blend of contemporary and traditional elements, drawing inspiration from Ferragamo's Hollywood past and infusing it with modern touches. This includes the use of glossy leathers, second-skin fits, micro shorts, and elevated everyday essentials. His background includes working as a designer for Grace Wales Bonner and Supriya Lele, and he launched his brand before being appointed at Ferragamo in March 2022. Regarding Ferragamo's performance since Davis's start, the brand faced a 4% decline in revenue in the first quarter of 2023, amounting to €278 million. This downturn was particularly noted in the wholesale performance in the U.S. However, CEO Marco Gobbetti viewed this period as a transitional phase, expressing optimism about the future, especially with the brand's new direction aligning with the current trend of "quiet luxury." This suggests that while Ferragamo has faced challenges, there is a positive outlook for its future under Davis's creative leadership. #MaximilianDavis #FerragamoFashion #BritishWomenswearAward2023

Are Luxury Fashion Brands Pricing Themselves Out of Reach? With prices rising sharply across top luxury brands—Hermès Birkin bags starting at $10,100 and Louis Vuitton Speedy bags reaching up to $1,690—luxury fashion is becoming too expensive, even for the wealthy. Since 2021, Louis Vuitton's prices have increased by up to 20%, and Gucci, Balenciaga, and Givenchy have followed suit. This escalation is threatening to alienate even the most loyal customers. Are luxury fashion brands at risk of losing customer loyalty due to unsustainable pricing? What do you think?

#fashion #fashionstyle #fashionweek #luxury #luxurylifestyle #milano #milanofashionweek  Della Spiga street Quadrilatero della Moda luxury fashion Milan Italy - Giuseppe Alletto art and travel Today, Milan's fashion shows welcome many well-known and up-and-coming designers, who want to showcase their work and give luster to their creativity. However, Milan has not always been the capital of fashion. Let's discover together the history that led Milan to be the Mecca of fashion. The path that led Milan to be the fashion capital of the world began in 1935, when the Ente Nazionale della Moda Italiana (National Board of Italian Fashion) was born, whose purpose was to promote Italian fashion all over the world. In those years the only Italian company capable of imposing itself on an international level was Salvatore Ferragamo. A subsequent impulse to the spreading of Milan's fame was given by the end of World War II. Thanks to the economic aid of the United States, the Italian textile industry was able to develop and expand. In the post-war period, the best-known Italian fashion designer was Elsa Schiaparelli, who dressed celebrities such as Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, and Audrey Hepburn, becoming a legend in the fashion history. The first Italian high fashion show The popularity of Made in Italy fashion was growing in record time, and in 1951 the entrepreneur Giovanni Battista Giorgini decided to give life to the first high fashion show in Italy, precisely in Florence. In this fashion show, made in Italy clothes and accessories were presented to American consumers, who were more and more interested in leather goods and high quality items.  In this period, each city was specialized in a specific segment: Rome was dedicated to haute couture, Florence was specialized in handmade fashion, while Turin and Milan were starting to become the first reference points for ready-to-wear clothes: a curiosity is that the idea of preset sizes was born right in Milan. In fact, in the '50s, tailoring clothes with custom sizes amounted to 80% of the total. Those who wanted to buy a dress went to their tailor of reference, who took the measurements and then sewed the dress made to measure. This process took place for everyone, regardless of class: from aristocrats to workers, from industrialists to the petit bourgeoisie. ---------------------------------------------- If you love Art subscribe my YouTube channel !!!!

Gucci and Billie Eilish: A Sustainable and Stylish Collaboration Gucci, the iconic fashion brand, and Billie Eilish, the Grammy-winning singer, have teamed up to create a limited edition bag made from Demetra, a vegan and plant-based alternative to leather. The bag, which reflects both Gucci’s heritage and innovation and Eilish’s personal style and values, is the first of its kind to use this new and eco-friendly material. The collaboration was a success, as the bag sold out quickly and received rave reviews from the customers and the critics. The partnership also showed that sustainability and style can go hand in hand, and that fashion brands and celebrities can use their influence and creativity to create positive change and inspire others.

“MADE IN ITALY” IN FASHION & LUXURY Since ten years Contactlab is mapping the online product offer extension and the pricing architecture of major #Fashion & #Luxury brands in Europe, US and China. Companies like Valentino, Gucci, TOD'S, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Fendi have always been virtuous about declaring Made in origin on Product Pages, other Brands like Bulgari, Loro Piana, DOLCE&GABBANA, Christian Dior Couture, Hermès have improved year after year and now are fully transparent on website. Nevertheless, surprisingly for Luxury, too many Brands are still omitting this important info on Product Pages (1/3 of items still with no “Made in” declaration for Bags, 1/5 for Shoes and RTW Women). Once declared, it’s #MadeinItaly !, from 56% of items for #Bags up to 66% for #RTW Women and 79% for #Shoes …followed at distance from Made in Spain (5% for Bags) and Made in France (5% for RTW). #GiornataMadeInItaly2024 #Altagamma #luxury #madeinitaly #DigitalCompetitiveMap #ItalianStyle #ItalianLuxury #Teamsystem
