Despite CEO Luca de Meo's efforts to turn around Kering, investors worry a revamp of its star brand Gucci is still a way off and the French group will not meet full year financial targets. Kering's share price has lost 23.6 per cent since the end of July, and 11.6 per cent in the past month alone.

One year in the job, de Meo faces crises on many fronts, and it’s difficult to tackle many fires at the same time.

Balenciaga creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli is set to exit the Kering brand after just over a year in the job, industry sources said. Piccioli, who gained fame at Valentino, is a hugely talented designer, but his couture style is not selling as well as Kering CEO Luca De Meo hoped, sources said. Crucially, Balenciaga’s important menswear revenue has fallen sharply under his tenure.

Piccioli’s exit could be announced as early as after his show on Oct. 1, industry sources said.

Jil Sander provided further proof that Simone Bellotti is one of the most talented designers of his generation with a refreshing and inspiring collection. Meryll Rogge at OTB sister brand Marni seems to be still trying to find her voice. Ferragamo’s Maximilian Davis is going from strength to strength. And Demna at Gucci gave us a merchandising fest with an eclectic collection of highly shoppable looks but still no clear red thread about what Gucci stands for in 2026.
