Alessandro Michele
Le designer de Gucci, Alessandro Michele, a enfin quitté la maison de mode italienne. Pour de nombreux investisseurs, il était temps. C’est pourquoi l’action de sa maison mère, Kering, a bondi mercredi lorsque la nouvelle est tombée. Depuis plus de deux ans, Gucci sous-performe et perd des parts de marché face à ses concurrents comme Dior et Louis Vuitton, surtout en Chine, où la maison a investi des sommes considérables. Les investisseurs appellent au changement depuis un certain temps mais Kering ne voulait rien entendre. Le groupe de luxe français n'a cessé de rejeter la responsabilité du ralentissement de Gucci sur la Chine, sans s'attaquer au problème de fond : les consommateurs, en particulier chinois, se sont lassés des créations geek chic d’Alessandro Michele. François-Henri Pinault, PDG de Kering, avait donné au créateur une nouvelle chance de relancer les ventes et de proposer un nouveau concept.
