Balenciaga has a new boss: Gianfranco Gianangeli, former CEO of Martin Margiela and Chief Commercial Officer of Saint Laurent. He’s got a tough task to restore the brand to its past commercial success two years after the profit destructive scandal over its use in ads of teddy bears in bondage gear which unleashed a firestorm of bad publicity. A new pitch based on solidly commercial bags, and campaign images is a reliable way forward. Still, that risks undermining its brand identity.

SUSTAINABILITY - WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN’T
Dear readers and summiteers,
Miss Tweed is excited to announce that we will be hosting the fourth edition of our Luxury at the Summit in Val d’Isère April 10-13, 2025.
Our summit next year will be around the theme: Sustainability – what works and doesn’t. In the past decade, fashion and luxury brands have invested a lot of time and money to help preserve the environment and minimize waste and pollution. It’s been a trial-and-error process. Some projects have made a difference, while others have allowed brands to simply tick the “sustainability” box. Fashion, beauty, jewelry and watch brands will come explain to us why their initiatives have had a real impact.

Nicolas Bos, who became CEO of Richemont in June, has chosen Marie-Aude Stocker as the group’s new group HR director, replacing Patricia Gandji, Richemont told the group’s teams this week, internal sources said. The Swiss group has not released any official announcement yet.
Lucien Pagès, the influential fashion PR who has the ear of many top designers, has sold his company to the acquisitive The Independents, becoming the 17th company joining the group. “I felt that my company had reached a certain maturity and after 18 years, I was tired of being alone at the top,” Pagès told Miss Tweed. Pagès, who started his PR agency Lucien Pagès Communication in 2006 advising small up-and-coming fashion brands, now works for some of the most authoritative labels including Jacquemus, Schiaparelli and Loewe. His company has offices in Paris and New York and represents more than 100 international clients in fashion, beauty, lifestyle and the arts.

MUSCAT – French cosmetics giant L’Oréal is expected to announce a minority investment in Amouage, the biggest perfume success story on the Arabian Peninsula backed by the Sultanate of Oman, senior industry sources said. In April, Bloomberg reported that L’Oréal was in talks to buy a minority stake in a transaction that could value the high-end Omani perfume maker at around €3 billion.

MILAN – Doors keep revolving at OTB, the Only the Brave international fashion group founded by Italian entrepreneur Renzo Rosso. It’s an unsustainable rotation, especially with Rosso having an eye on a listing in 2026. OTB’s Diesel, Maison Margiela and Jil Sander have all changed CEOs in the past 18 months, and the top position at Diesel and at Jil Sander is still vacant.

Richemont on Friday announced new bosses for luxury watch brands Vacheron Constantin and Jaeger-LeCoultre but more change is afoot. Not only are heads going to roll at the Swiss group’s executive committee. CEO Nicolas Bos is quietly preparing to offload badly performing brands, industry sources and fund managers said.

Giorgio Armani, the king of timeless elegance and founder of one of Italy’s last remaining independent fashion brands, denied on Friday that he was in talks to hire the French designer Hedi Slimane.
Slimane left Celine last month after more than doubling the French label’s sales to €2.5 billion – roughly the size of Armani’s fashion business.

A Year in the News 2023-2024 is a compilation of Miss Tweed's stories published during its fourth year. Like the third yearbook, it is a limited edition. Hence, it is a collector's item. It's designed to celebrate the work of illustrator Claire Laude. Each illustration runs next to the first two paragraphs of the story. It does not contain the entire story.
