Prada, Zegna and others have started teaming up to protect their supply chains, showing a new spirit of collaboration.

Ermenegildo Zegna Group is currently seeing double-digit growth in stores after hitting €1.5 billion in sales last year. With a slowdown expected for luxury brands, chairman Gildo Zegna tells BoF the recently rebranded menswear giant is well-positioned to outperform.

The Italian menswear brand is raising $880 million by merging with a New York-listed SPAC. The funds will give the luxury firm greater financial firepower to help it bounce back from a bruising pandemic year and fend off competitors.

Ermenegildo Zegna’s Alessandro Sartori is teaming up with Fear of God’s Jerry Lorenzo on a collection that launches during Paris Fashion Week. Tim Blanks decodes the logic behind the collaboration and what it says about the state of menswear.

Ermenegildo Zegna sits down with Imran Amed at the BoF China Summit to discuss the forward-looking, “millennial mindset” approach that underpins Zegna Group’s market strategy.

The recent acquisition of Thom Browne and a more casual approach to product are keeping the menswear giant one step ahead, says chief executive Ermenegildo Zegna.

Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, the BoF China Summit is back to spark debate among global executives, Chinese fashion industry leaders and our China-based community during Shanghai Fashion Week.
