Italy’s Fondo Strategico Italiano remains involved while Katjes acquires a 27% stake in the brand."],"attrs_boilerpipe_text":"After several\nrumors that circulated last year\n, which speculated about a possible takeover of\nMissoni\nby\nAuthentic Brands Group\n, a confirmation has arrived in the past few hours that changes the perspective of the deal. The brand founded by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni will not end up under the control of a U.S. group and will instead remain, at least for now, anchored to Europe and Italy, with an acquisition linked to the\nFondo Strategico Italiano\n.\nThe fund had already acquired\n41.2% of the brand\nin 2018, investing around\n€70 million\nand effectively becoming the main external shareholder of the maison. However, in the final months of 2025 several reports emerged suggesting that the investment company was considering an exit from the capital, opening the door to\nnew potential buyers\n. Among the most frequently mentioned names was that of the conglomerate led by Jamie Salter, which in recent years has built a vast portfolio of middle-market brands, from Guess to Champion and even Forever 21, and which seemed eager to finally\nenter the luxury market\n(with a\nrumored acquisition of Marc Jacobs\n).\nMissoni remains Italian (and a little German)\nReality, as often happens in the fashion system, turned out to be more complex than the rumors suggested. According to\nWWD\n, a new European player has entered the picture:\nKatjes International\n, a German group mainly known in the consumer goods sector and\nlisted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange\n, has signed an agreement to\nacquire approximately 27% of Missoni\nthrough its subsidiary Katjes Quiet Luxury.\nKatjes has also secured a\ncall option\non the shares held by the Fondo Strategico Italiano, a clause that could allow it to become the\nmajority shareholder of the brand\nin the future. The closing of the deal is expected in the second quarter of the year, pending approval from the relevant antitrust authorities. In the meantime, the company’s\ngovernance\nwill not experience immediate changes.\nLivio Proli\n, a longtime executive from the Giorgio Armani universe who has been leading Missoni since 2020, will remain chief executive officer, while\nBarnaba Ravà\n, co-founder of FSI, will retain the role of chairman. The same goes for\nAlberto Caliri\n, the creative director who joined in 2024.\nWhat is the Fondo Strategico Italiano?\nTo understand the deal, it is necessary to take a step back and look at the importance of this domestic acquisition. The\nFondo Strategico Italiano\n(FSI) is an investment company specialized in\nsupporting Italian companies considered strategic\n, with the aim of accompanying their growth without distorting their industrial identity. Founded in 2011 within\nCassa Depositi e Prestiti\n, the fund was designed to support the\nnational entrepreneurial ecosystem\nin key sectors such as fashion, food, technology and advanced manufacturing. Unlike many traditional financial funds, FSI’s approach is not that of a short-term speculative acquisition, but rather that of an\nindustrial partner\nthat supports companies through growth, internationalization and consolidation strategies, as seen in the case of\nDolce & Gabbana Beauty\n.\nMissoni’s growth over the past year\nFor Missoni, this new phase arrives at a relatively positive moment from a commercial standpoint. According to estimates cited by WWD, the latest collections designed by Caliri have contributed to a\nsales increase of around 30%\n, with revenues hovering around\n€130 million\nand an expected EBITDA of about €20 million. The result is therefore a rather rare compromise in today’s fashion landscape. Missoni will no longer be controlled by the founding family, but at the same time it avoids ending up under the umbrella of one of the\nmajor global conglomerates\n. It will remain a European brand, with governance that still gravitates around Italy for now, even if a new German presence is likely to weigh increasingly in the coming years. Could it be that\nMade in Italy\nis finally making a comeback?","attrs_markdown":"[REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODAREVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODAREVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODAREVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA REVIEW YOUR FAVOURITE FASHION SHOWS ON FUORIMODA](https:\/\/www.fuorimodafuorimoda.com\/app)\n\n[![nss magazine](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/images\/logo-w.svg)](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en)\n\n- [Fashion](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion)\n- [Culture](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/culture)\n- [Portrait](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/portrait)\n- [Beyond Fashion](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/tag\/beyondfashion)\n\n- [Sports](https:\/\/www.nss-sports.com\/en)\n- [G-Club](https:\/\/www.nssgclub.com\/en)\n- [Galleria](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/galleria)\n- [France](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/fr)\n- [Edicola](https:\/\/www.nssedicola.com\/)\n\n- Follow\n  - [Facebook](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nssmag \"Facebook\")\n  - [Instagram](https:\/\/instagram.com\/nssmagazine \"Instagram\")\n  - [Twitter](https:\/\/twitter.com\/nssmag \"Twitter\")\n  - [Tiktok](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nssmagazine \"Tiktok\")\n  - [Threads](https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nssmagazine \"Threads\")\n  - [Pinterest](https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/nssmagazine \"Pinterest\")\n  - [Youtube](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCY9k7Dsgu4J2bc1fbwGWHFw \"Youtube\")\n  - [Substack](https:\/\/nssmagazine.substack.com\/ \"Substack\")\n\n- EN\n  - French\n  - Italian\n\n[![Wylie Welling is reinventing Carhartt garments A new era for upcycling](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/47596\/ww-verticale.webp)](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/44902\/wylie-welling-carhartt-upcycling-brand)\n\n[Wylie Welling is reinventing Carhartt garments](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/44902\/wylie-welling-carhartt-upcycling-brand)\n\n[![The Wessel & Vett Fashion Prize 2026 has annlunced its four finalists A new era of creativity and commercial empowerment](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/47587\/premio-verticale.webp)](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/44893\/wessel-vett-fashion-prize-2026-finalists)\n\n[The Wessel & Vett Fashion Prize 2026 has annlunced its four finalists](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/44893\/wessel-vett-fashion-prize-2026-finalists)\n\n[![The Coachella look is a thing of the past It’s down to the weather and more](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/47577\/cover-coachella-boho.webp)](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/44883\/coachella-fashion-evolution-boho-gorpcore)\n\n[The Coachella look is a thing of the past](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/44883\/coachella-fashion-evolution-boho-gorpcore)\n\n[![Will the fashion industry get what it wants from “Euphoria”?

several [rumors that circulated last year](https:\/\/www.pambianconews.com\/2025\/10\/31\/authentic-brands-group-continua-lo-shopping-nel-mirino-marc-jacobs-e-missoni-463190\/), which speculated about a possible takeover of **Missoni** by **Authentic Brands Group**, a confirmation has arrived in the past few hours that changes the perspective of the deal. The brand founded by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni will not end up under the control of a U.S. group and will instead remain, at least for now, anchored to Europe and Italy, with an acquisition linked to the **Fondo Strategico Italiano**.\n\nThe fund had already acquired **41\\.2% of the brand** in 2018, investing around **€70 million** and effectively becoming the main external shareholder of the maison. However, in the final months of 2025 several reports emerged suggesting that the investment company was considering an exit from the capital, opening the door to **new potential buyers**. Among the most frequently mentioned names was that of the conglomerate led by Jamie Salter, which in recent years has built a vast portfolio of middle-market brands, from Guess to Champion and even Forever 21, and which seemed eager to finally **enter the luxury market** (with a [rumored acquisition of Marc Jacobs](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/it\/fashion\/36567\/lvmh-marc-jacobs)).\n\n### Missoni remains Italian (and a little German)\n\n> [View this post on Instagram](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DVYU0RJDPSC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading)\n> \n> [A post shared by Missoni (@missoni)](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DVYU0RJDPSC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading)\n\nReality, as often happens in the fashion system, turned out to be more complex than the rumors suggested. According to *[WWD](https:\/\/wwd.com\/business-news\/mergers-acquisitions\/katjes-international-buys-missoni-stake-family-exits-fsi-majority-1238645562\/)*, a new European player has entered the picture: **Katjes International**, a German group mainly known in the consumer goods sector and **listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange**, has signed an agreement to **acquire approximately 27% of Missoni** through its subsidiary Katjes Quiet Luxury.\n\nKatjes has also secured a **call option** on the shares held by the Fondo Strategico Italiano, a clause that could allow it to become the **majority shareholder of the brand** in the future. The closing of the deal is expected in the second quarter of the year, pending approval from the relevant antitrust authorities. In the meantime, the company’s **governance** will not experience immediate changes. **Livio Proli**, a longtime executive from the Giorgio Armani universe who has been leading Missoni since 2020, will remain chief executive officer, while **Barnaba Ravà**, co-founder of FSI, will retain the role of chairman. The same goes for **Alberto Caliri**, the creative director who joined in 2024.\n\n### What is the Fondo Strategico Italiano?\n\n> Missoni aw26 [pic.twitter.com\/UcJrY20seE](https:\/\/t.co\/UcJrY20seE)\n> \n> — linda (@itgirlbackup) [February 25, 2026](https:\/\/twitter.com\/itgirlbackup\/status\/2026695939625242867?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)\n\nTo understand the deal, it is necessary to take a step back and look at the importance of this domestic acquisition. The **Fondo Strategico Italiano** (FSI) is an investment company specialized in **supporting Italian companies considered strategic**, with the aim of accompanying their growth without distorting their industrial identity. Founded in 2011 within **Cassa Depositi e Prestiti**, the fund was designed to support the **national entrepreneurial ecosystem** in key sectors such as fashion, food, technology and advanced manufacturing. Unlike many traditional financial funds, FSI’s approach is not that of a short-term speculative acquisition, but rather that of an **industrial partner** that supports companies through growth, internationalization and consolidation strategies, as seen in the case of **Dolce & Gabbana Beauty**.\n\n### Missoni’s growth over the past year\n\n> [@amelies\\_diaries](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@amelies_diaries?refer=embed \"@amelies_diaries\") [\\#missoni](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/missoni?refer=embed \"missoni\") [\\#fyp](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed \"fyp\") [\\#fashion](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fashion?refer=embed \"fashion\") [\\#funkychic](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/funkychic?refer=embed \"funkychic\")  [som original - Izzy シ︎](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/som-original-7575749616512158471?refer=embed \" som original - Izzy シ︎\")\n\nFor Missoni, this new phase arrives at a relatively positive moment from a commercial standpoint. According to estimates cited by WWD, the latest collections designed by Caliri have contributed to a **sales increase of around 30%**, with revenues hovering around **€130 million** and an expected EBITDA of about €20 million. The result is therefore a rather rare compromise in today’s fashion landscape. Missoni will no longer be controlled by the founding family, but at the same time it avoids ending up under the umbrella of one of the **major global conglomerates**. It will remain a European brand, with governance that still gravitates around Italy for now, even if a new German presence is likely to weigh increasingly in the coming years. Could it be that **Made in Italy** is finally making a comeback?\n\n[fondo strategico italiano](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/tag\/fondo%20strategico%20italiano)[missoni](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/tag\/missoni)\n\n### What to read next\n[![Brands too have discovered third places Fashion has learnt to meet the consumer outside the store](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/43566\/nike-ocver-1.webp) Read nowBrands too have discovered third places](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/41232\/brands-marketing-third-places-nike-alo)\n\n[![Filippo Grazioli leaves Missoni The new creative director will be, well, the old creative director](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/40509\/cover-missoni.jpg) Read nowFilippo Grazioli leaves Missoni](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/38301\/filippo-grazioli-missoni)\n\n[![Marco Bizzarri invests in Maccapani The alliance between the former Gucci CEO and Margherita Maccapani Missoni](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/40327\/maccapni-cover-nss.jpg) Read nowMarco Bizzarri invests in Maccapani](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/38135\/maccapani-margherita-missoni-marco-bizzarri-investment-fashion-brand)\n\n[![The interior design of Haute Couture All brands that have launched home decor lines](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/39877\/New-Project-71.jpg) Read nowThe interior design of Haute Couture](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/37765\/casa-loewe-seoul-fashion-luxury-home-decor)\n\n[![From gin to beach clubs, this is a Missoni summer With the opening of the Missoni Resort club e the Malfy Gin collab, the Missoni summer is all about celebrating italian heritage](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/39569\/missoni_cover_verticale.png) Read nowFrom gin to beach clubs, this is a Missoni summer](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/lifestyle\/37458\/gin-beach-club-missoni-summer)\n\n[![The conscious spontaneity of Missoni\\&apos;s SS25 menswear A collection presented in Florence in the setting of Pitti Immagine](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/39129\/cover-tall-missoni.jpg) Read nowThe conscious spontaneity of Missoni's SS25 menswear](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion\/37034\/missoni-ss25)\n\n[![](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/banners\/320\/newsletter-gif-600x1200.gif%202000w)](https:\/\/api.nssmag.com\/en\/b.banners.click.320)\n\n[![](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/44679\/05_1230-1.webp)![nss factory](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/44679\/logo-w.webp)](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/p\/nss-factory)\n\n[![](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/44685\/cover-edicola-1.webp)![nss edicola](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/44685\/nss-edicola-logo_43h.webp)](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/p\/nss-edicola)\n\n[![](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/44686\/001567450029-copia-2.webp)![nss events](https:\/\/data2.nssmag.com\/images\/galleries\/44686\/logo-w-events.webp)](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/p\/nss-events)\n\n[![nss magazine](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/images\/logo-w.svg)](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en)\n\n- ##### Company\n- [About](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/p\/about)\n- [Contacts](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/p\/contacts)\n- [Work with us](http:\/\/www.nssfactory.com\/p\/careers)\n- [nss factory](http:\/\/www.nssfactory.com\/)\n\n- ##### Legal\n- [Privacy policy](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/p\/privacy-policy)\n- [Manage Cookies](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/p\/manage-cookies)\n\n- ##### Magazine\n- [Fashion](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/fashion)\n- [Culture](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/culture)\n- [Portrait](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/portrait)\n- [Beyond Fashion](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/tag\/beyondfashion)\n\n- ##### Network\n- [nss magazine](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en)\n- [nss sports](https:\/\/www.nss-sports.com\/en)\n- [nss G-Club](https:\/\/www.nssgclub.com\/en)\n- [nss galleria](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/galleria)\n- [nss france](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/fr)\n- [nss edicola](https:\/\/www.nssedicola.com\/)\n\n- ##### Newsletter\n- [Sign up to our substack](https:\/\/nssmagazine.substack.com\/ \"Substack\")\n\n- ##### Contacts\n- [Drop us a line](https:\/\/www.nssmag.com\/en\/p\/contacts)\n\n- ##### SOCIAL\n- [Facebook](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nssmag)\n- [Instagram](https:\/\/instagram.com\/nssmagazine)\n- [Twitter](https:\/\/twitter.com\/nssmag)\n- [Tiktok](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@nssmagazine)\n- [Threads](https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nssmagazine)\n- [Pinterest](https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/nssmagazine)\n- [Youtube](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCY9k7Dsgu4J2bc1fbwGWHFw)\n\n**Copyright ©2026 nss magazine srls** - All rights reserved\n\nnss magazine srls - P.IVA 12275110968\n\n©2026 nss magazine newspaper registered with the Court of Milan.

[![Missoni will no longer belong to the founding family, but will remain Italian The Italian Strategic Fund has confirmed the

After several [rumors that circulated last year](https://www.pambianconews.com/2025/10/31/authentic-brands-group-continua-lo-shopping-nel-mirino-marc-jacobs-e-missoni-463190/), which speculated about a possible takeover of Missoni by Authentic Brands Group, a confirmation has arrived in the past few hours that changes the perspective of the deal. The brand founded by Ottavio and Rosita Missoni will not end up under the control of a U.S. group and will instead remain, at least for now, anchored to Europe and Italy, with an acquisition linked to the Fondo Strategico Italiano. The fund had already acquired 41\.2% of the brand in 2018, investing around €70 million and effectively becoming the main external shareholder of the maison. However, in the final months of 2025 several reports emerged suggesting that the investment company was considering an exit from the capital, opening the door to new potential buyers. Among the most frequently mentioned names was that of the conglomerate led by Jamie Salter, which in recent years has built a vast portfolio of middle-market brands, from Guess to Champion and even Forever 21, and which seemed eager to finally enter the luxury market (with a [rumored acquisition of Marc Jacobs](https://www.nssmag.com/it/fashion/36567/lvmh-marc-jacobs)). ### Missoni remains Italian (and a little German) > [View this post on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVYU0RJDPSC/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) > > [A post shared by Missoni (@missoni)](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVYU0RJDPSC/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading) Reality, as often happens in the fashion system, turned out to be more complex than the rumors suggested. According to [WWD](https://wwd.com/business-news/mergers-acquisitions/katjes-international-buys-missoni-stake-family-exits-fsi-majority-1238645562/), a new European player has entered the picture: Katjes International, a German group mainly known in the consumer goods sector and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has signed an agreement to acquire approximately 27% of Missoni through its subsidiary Katjes Quiet Luxury. Katjes has also secured a call option on the shares held by the Fondo Strategico Italiano, a clause that could allow it to become the majority shareholder of the brand in the future. The closing of the deal is expected in the second quarter of the year, pending approval from the relevant antitrust authorities. In the meantime, the company’s governance will not experience immediate changes. Livio Proli, a longtime executive from the Giorgio Armani universe who has been leading Missoni since 2020, will remain chief executive officer, while Barnaba Ravà, co-founder of FSI, will retain the role of chairman. The same goes for Alberto Caliri, the creative director who joined in 2024. ### What is the Fondo Strategico Italiano? > Missoni aw26 [pic.twitter.com/UcJrY20seE](https://t.co/UcJrY20seE) > > — linda (@itgirlbackup) [February 25, 2026](https://twitter.com/itgirlbackup/status/2026695939625242867?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) To understand the deal, it is necessary to take a step back and look at the importance of this domestic acquisition. The Fondo Strategico Italiano (FSI) is an investment company specialized in supporting Italian companies considered strategic, with the aim of accompanying their growth without distorting their industrial identity. Founded in 2011 within Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, the fund was designed to support the national entrepreneurial ecosystem in key sectors such as fashion, food, technology and advanced manufacturing. Unlike many traditional financial funds, FSI’s approach is not that of a short-term speculative acquisition, but rather that of an industrial partner that supports companies through growth, internationalization and consolidation strategies, as seen in the case of Dolce & Gabbana Beauty. ### Missoni’s growth over the past year > [@amelies\_diaries](https://www.tiktok.com/@amelies_diaries?refer=embed "@amelies_diaries") [\#missoni](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/missoni?refer=embed "missoni") [\#fyp](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fyp?refer=embed "fyp") [\#fashion](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fashion?refer=embed "fashion") [\#funkychic](https://www.tiktok.com/tag/funkychic?refer=embed "funkychic") [som original - Izzy シ︎](https://www.tiktok.com/music/som-original-7575749616512158471?refer=embed " som original - Izzy シ︎") For Missoni, this new phase arrives at a relatively positive moment from a commercial standpoint. According to estimates cited by WWD, the latest collections designed by Caliri have contributed to a sales increase of around 30%, with revenues hovering around €130 million and an expected EBITDA of about €20 million. The result is therefore a rather rare compromise in today’s fashion landscape. Missoni will no longer be controlled by the founding family, but at the same time it avoids ending up under the umbrella of one of the major global conglomerates. It will remain a European brand, with governance that still gravitates around Italy for now, even if a new German presence is likely to weigh increasingly in the coming years. Could it be that Made in Italy is finally making a comeback?

Founded in 2011 within Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, the fund was designed to support the national entrepreneurial ecosystem in key sectors such as fashion, food, technology and advanced manufacturing. Unlike many traditional financial funds, FSI’s approach is not that of a short-term speculative acquisition, but rather that of an industrial partner that supports companies through growth, internationalization and consolidation strategies, as seen in the case of Dolce & Gabbana Beauty. ### Missoni’s growth over the past year For Missoni, this new phase arrives at a relatively positive moment from a commercial standpoint. According to estimates cited by WWD, the latest collections designed by Caliri have contributed to a sales increase of around 30%, with revenues hovering around €130 million and an expected EBITDA of about €20 million. The result is therefore a rather rare compromise in today’s fashion landscape. Missoni will no longer be controlled by the founding family, but at the same time it avoids ending up under the umbrella of one of the major global conglomerates. It will remain a European brand, with governance that still gravitates around Italy for now, even if a new German presence is likely to weigh increasingly in the coming years. Could it be that Made in Italy is finally making a comeback?
