This Week: Gucci and Versace Soft Launch in Milan
['Robert Williams']
The Business of Fashion
This edition of The Week Ahead is brought to you by High Margin, a newsletter from chief luxury correspondent-at-large Robert Williams that will launch soon.
Each week, Williams will bring together perspectives on creativity and commerce from fashion and watches to art, hospitality and more.
But the chances that fashion’s season of designer reshuffles will produce an aesthetic “big bang” in Milan look increasingly slim, as four major Italian brands — Gucci, Versace, Jil Sander and Bottega Veneta — prepare to reveal refreshed aesthetics this week.
What Bellotti’s Jil Sander will look like, and how it lands commercially, is a wild card.
But translating respect from fashion insiders into sales has proven trickier at Jil Sander and Marni.
