Major upheaval at Kering<\/a>: the French luxury group is relying on a new management team and a focused realignment of the brand strategy in 2025. Also in focus: Gucci<\/a>, Balenciaga<\/a> and Saint Laurent<\/a>. The new CEO Jean-Marc Duplaix announces far-reaching changes – with a focus on creative quality, profitability and sustainability. By the way, alongside LVMH<\/a>, Kering is the largest luxury group in the world.<\/p>\n

Management change at the top of the Group<\/h2>\n

Jean-Marc Duplaix<\/a>, former CFO of Kering, takes the helm and replaces long-time CEO Fran\u00e7ois-Henri Pinault in the operational management. While Pinault will focus on strategic issues within the Pinault family holding Artemis<\/a> in future, Duplaix represents a phase of consolidation. His mission: to focus the Group with fewer, but clearly positioned brands.<\/p>\n

Gucci as a key brand in the restructuring process<\/h3>\n

Particular attention is being paid to Gucci<\/a>, which recently lost market share to Louis Vuitton. The new creative director Sabato De Sarno<\/a> wants to modernize the brand – with reduced silhouettes, more understatement and a clear break from the eclectic style of recent years. The first shows point to a return to craftsmanship and classic codes.<\/p>\n
