At VivaTech 2025, Europe’s largest start-up and tech event, Bvlgari reaffirms its pioneering role in the luxury industry by unveiling the next chapter in its digital innovation journey: the Bvlgari Digital Passport. Developed in collaboration with Italian software boutique Dev4Side and seamlessly integrated into the Bvlgari Touch application, the Digital Passport offers a comprehensive digital identity for each jewel. By scanning the jewel’s discreetly engraved serial number, clients can access detailed insights into the origin and rarity of materials, the craftsmanship behind the creation, and available aftercare services. Part of the broader Connected Jewels ecosystem — a patented, AI-powered solution capable of recognizing jewelry through advanced OCR technology — this platform exemplifies Bvlgari’s commitment to enhancing transparency, enriching client experience, and setting a new benchmark for innovation in High Jewelry. With this initiative, Bvlgari continues to blend heritage and technology, beauty and functionality — shaping a transformative vision of luxury where every creation becomes a gateway to a deeper, more meaningful connection.

THE PRADA POWER SHIFT. WHAT IT MEANS FOR LUXURY STRATEGY Prada has just announced a major leadership change. CEO Gianfranco D’Attis will leave the group by June 30, 2025, and Andrea Guerra, the former group CEO, will step in as interim leader. This move comes at a crucial time for the brand and for luxury retail overall. During his tenure, D’Attis delivered strong numbers. Prada reported a revenue increase for the group of over 17% in 2024, outpacing much of the sector and earning praise for his focus on product elevation and retail excellence. He also oversaw the revitalization of Miu Miu, which achieved remarkable 93 percent growth, and helped steer Prada through early stages of the Versace integration. However, recent results have not matched the group’s high expectations. Q1 performance this year was flat, and the luxury market is facing headwinds in both China and the US. So, is this the right move? Prada’s decision reflects both the pressure to maintain momentum and the need for agility in a changing market. Andrea Guerra is known for bold decisions and operational discipline. The timing signals Prada’s intent to adapt quickly, refine its global playbook, and leverage Versace’s potential as part of its long-term strategy. Luxury brands can no longer rely on legacy and past performance. Success now depends on strategic leadership, brand relevance, and the ability to move with speed. In our region, this should be a reminder: the Gulf is looking for brands that lead with purpose and fresh thinking, not just headline expansion. What lessons can regional leaders draw from this change? Is the time right to push for sharper differentiation and deeper customer connection? #luxurybusiness #Prada #leadership #MergersAndAcquisitions #brandstrategy #GCCretail #markettrends #versace #retailinnovation
