Prada Group posted H1 sales growth of 9 percent to €2.74 billion, outperforming peers despite a 1.9 percent drop in core Prada retail revenues amid softer tourism in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Miu Miu remains a standout performer, topping the Lyst Q2 index and driving accessory and footwear growth among younger consumers. Meanwhile, leadership churn at Jil Sander’s OTB Group parent and DAMAC’s clear commitment to Roberto Cavalli highlight ongoing strategic recalibrations and consolidation themes across the luxury landscape.
