We are pleased with the positive performance of all our brands in all regions, with the only exception of Hong Kong… We are working hard to strengthen more and more the lifestyle of the brand and its inspiration, linked to Italian style and quality of the product, which are loved by our international clientele. We believe that this, combined with strong attention to costs, to the great enhancement of the digital and the good acceptance obtained by the summer collections now in stores, will allow us to achieve good results also this year”.
