🎨 The LUXURY OF TOMORROW should be the perfect BLEND OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DESIRABILITY We are witnessing a fascinating transformation in the luxury industry. While some houses struggle to innovate without losing their identity, others are redefining the codes with boldness. Among them is Matthieu Blazy. 💡 At Bottega Veneta, Matthieu Blazy reminded us of an essential truth: luxury starts with the object. -Contemporary craftsmanship: Pieces that elevate traditional skills while staying deeply modern. -Creative audacity: An aesthetic that resonates at every level – products, campaigns, stores. -Perceived value: Blazy redefined desirability, creating products that don’t follow trends but set them. 🏰 And now, on to Chanel. As Chanel navigates the turbulent waters of price increases and market saturation, Blazy might be the answer. With him, we can expect a renaissance: 1️⃣ A reinvention of the Métiers d’Art: Each piece could become a cultural masterpiece, at the crossroads of art and fashion. 2️⃣ A living and emotionally accessible luxury: More than a product, an inspiring and timeless experience. 3️⃣ A universal message: Bringing tradition and modernity together for a multigenerational clientele. 💬 Is the future of luxury a return to essentials? Matthieu Blazy showed at Bottega that craftsmanship and innovation could harmoniously coexist. Chanel, in turn, could become the standard-bearer of a new era where luxury reinvents itself without betraying its origins. What do you think about this evolution? Should luxury take inspiration from this approach to stay relevant? #Luxury #Innovation #Craftsmanship #Chanel #BottegaVeneta

📉 The Context: According to Bain & Company, 2024 marked one of the weakest years in the luxury market, with global revenues expected to decline by 2-4%, driven by economic slowdowns in key markets like China. 📈 The Opportunity: While sales of ultra-luxury items struggled, accessible luxury products like perfume are booming: In 2023, consumers in Germany spent a record €2 billion on perfume—double the 2009 figure! Perfume is now the fastest-growing sector in beauty (source: McKinsey & Company). 🌟 A Hidden Champion: The German company Symrise Cosmetic Ingredients (market cap: €14 billion) is a key player behind the scenes: - 40% of Symrise’s revenue comes from its “Scent and Care” division, which includes perfume oils and cosmetic ingredients. - Growing demand for stronger fragrance concentrations boosts the volume of raw materials sold per liter of perfume. - The company’s stock is trading at a 27x P/E ratio, making it more affordable than competitors like Givaudan. 🚀 Future Potential: With China still an underpenetrated market for perfume, there’s room for long-term growth. 🎙️ Source: "Ohne Aktien Wird's Schwer," Noah Leidinger Jan 10, 2025. https://lnkd.in/dE76rSyJ #LuxuryMarket #GrowthOpportunities #Innovation #CommercialExcellence

What drives our company?

Today, we honour the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Let's take this opportunity to learn, reflect, and celebrate the vibrant history and heritage of Indigenous communities across Canada. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate Indigenous communities' rich heritage and contributions. Recognizing and respecting the people and culture that have shaped our nation is essential.

Kering Eyewear is celebrating its tenth anniversary. This year, the company’s journey and business model transformation have been recognized with a Harvard Business School case study, an acknowledgment of their innovative approach to luxury eyewear. Kering Eyewear has moved away from traditional licensing models, opting instead to internally develop and distribute luxury eyewear. This strategic pivot initially met with skepticism but has since proven successful, positioning Kering Eyewear as a leader in the industry. Over the past decade, the company has seen a steady growth in revenue, reporting a 4.7 percent increase to 1.25 billion euros in the first nine months compared to the previous year. #Kering, #KeringEyewear

THE LUXURY INDUSTRY ENTERS A NEW ERA (?) Luxury industries are entering a new era, characterized by a greater focus on environmental and biodiversity issues, as well as new perspectives in terms of customer experience and engagement, enabled by new technologies, particularly generative artificial intelligence. Innovations implemented by luxury operators to achieve their sustainable development goals affect all stages of the value chain, from sourcing raw materials to the end of the product's life. To best support this transition, talent management remains crucial. On one hand, it is necessary to identify and attract the right profiles with the right skills, both in technology and sustainable development. On the other hand, companies must be able to support the development of employee skills on emerging issues and, at the same time, act to preserve and transmit their know-how.

The value of the personal luxury goods market is set to erode by 2% this year, despite long-term positive fundamentals, as revealed in the 23rd edition of the Bain & Company Luxury Study, released in collaboration with Italian luxury goods body Fondazione Altagamma. With the luxury market tightening, unlocking long-term growth will require brands to reimagine their purpose and prioritize craftsmanship, creativity, and distinctive brand values. In 2025, the focus will intensify on performance improvement and seamless tech integration. Read our full analysis here. https://atbain.co/40PelFz

HERE WE ARE This morning, I was asked what I foresee for the Fashion industry in 2025. The article published by #MilanoFinanza highlights a possible recovery starting from the second half of next year, focusing on the financial aspects of the sector. From my perspective, which is nourished daily by feedback from professionals in the creative, production, and distribution sectors, the outlook appears less optimistic. The ongoing crisis has already been decimating important brands and companies for months. However, what I foresee with certainty is an acceleration in the adoption of new Artificial Intelligence tools. These tools, while posing challenges for those who fail to update and adapt, will also bring enormous opportunities: cost reductions in various areas of the supply chain, coupled with a significant qualitative improvement in results across multiple fields. As #MarcoBizzarri asserts, and as valuable entrepreneurs have taught me over the years, it is precisely during the most challenging times that great successes can be achieved. This revolution, now irreversible, will radically transform the Fashion and Luxury sectors. Personally, I hope this change will also lead to a recovery in terms of image and quality, regaining what has been lost in recent times. One thing is certain: whether by 2025 or 2026, there is no turning back! #fashionnews #fashionluxury #fashionrevolution

Four years ago when Camilla and I launched Made IT Podcast, we were driven by a mission: to inspire the next generation of Italian entrepreneurs and innovators. How where we going to achieve this? We decided to interview the most brilliant Italian founders and break down the steps it took to build their companies, from making the decision to quit their full-time jobs to facing and overcoming the toughest obstacles. Our mission remains the same, but we realized that to truly grow the Italian startup ecosystem, we needed to expand our reach beyond borders 🇮🇹 Recognizing that no international news outlet consistently covers Italian tech in-depth, we felt compelled to act. Enter Amy O'Brien, a passionate journalist who has been reporting on Italian tech for years. Together, we created Il Digestivo, the most comprehensive monthly newsletter on the Italian new economy. Every month, we bring you the latest news, exclusive scoops, insightful interviews, and so much more. Stay ahead of the curve with the latest innovations from Italy. Subscribe to our newsletter – it's free, but you can also choose to donate if you want support independent journalism. The second edition comes out tomorrow. Don’t miss it 👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/epYwy5Bd

Attending the FT Live Luxury Summit in Venice was like reading the financial times, but with a hyper-focus on our sector and with the benefit of curation, discussion and perspective. Sure, you can get all the information by reading the sheets. But here, all the topics that impact our sector most are shared and discussed in a room full of the CEOs, whose opinions about the topics you would like to hear, challenge, debate and learn from. The audience and the panelists is where the most value lies in an event like this that, by the way, was delivered with precision and excellence at every turn, as luxurious as its focus market. Top 3 takeaways: 1) Become a member of the community you serve. Authenticity and integrity are integral to luxury success. It is everything. You cannot fake it. And you must be able to communicate clearly to your audience - which means always staying close to and learning from your core customers, consuming what and where they consume and contributing there. 2) ‘Slobalization’ is what you see in those decreasing numbers. Global markets are normalizing not receding after the post-pandemic buying frenzy. Japan and US are still the strongest and most appealing markets for luxury. China is slowing but it is still one of largest markets with the most growth potential. 3) AI is a tool for humans to use. Not a threat. like most technology, reactions are alarmist at first. To leverage it efficiently, you must learn new skills and methods to optimize the efficiencies it can create. If you don’t learn how to use it, it may make you less qualified than another candidate for your role. #FTLuxury

The global luxury business is likely to post flat growth at $1.6 trillion for 2024, compounded by the loss of 50 million customers – many of them millennials and Gen Z – over the past two years. Add to that top customers questioning the exclusivity of luxury brands, forcing a rethink of the value proposition. Luxury Roundtable has the full article, so please visit the site and read and accordingly adjust your strategy for next year. We'll also host our #LuxuryOutlookSummit2025 on Jan. 15 next year in New York with more insights and strategic help on how to navigate one of the most pivotal periods in the luxury business, so please save the date. #luxury #luxuryoutlook #outlook2025 #luxurymarketing #luxuryretail #luxuryprofessionals https://lnkd.in/ezsehg8f

💡 What makes a luxury brand truly desirable in 2024? Recent report on luxury branding from Accenture #LuxeEternal makes a deep dive into this subject. A few points that I would keep on my radar: 🔖 It’s no longer just about exclusivity. To captivate today’s consumers, luxury brands must embrace a bold, future-focused strategy seeking genuine relevance to changing nature of brand desirability 🔖 Build a digital backbone of your brand that amplifies creativity and leverages data-driven insights for personalization of customer experiences 🔖 Champion sustainability where ethical practices, durable design, and transparent supply chains are non-negotiable 🔖  Select and hire talent based on the promise of your brand DNA   And how's your brand reshaping desirability for the future? #LuxeEternal #Accenture #LuxuryBranding #luxury #desirability

I gained by devoting at least one hour each day to physical exercise, including activities such as slow jogging, brisk walking, and swimming. As an entrepreneur engaged in daily work, I have to highlight the importance of maintaining optimal physical health while honing the entrepreneurial mindset for business growth. Empirical evidence on adult subjects indicates that 41.9% of men in their forties who exercise for at least one hour three days a week or more report experiencing a sense of fulfilment in their lives. #andrewtanatomisingapore #theatomiway #actushause #atomi https://lnkd.in/eXvhmRHj
