Massimo Ferretti, Executive Chairman of Aeffe, said: “Despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment, we are very satisfied with FY2022 revenue performance, to which all our brands contributed, exceeding pre-pandemic levels.
“The significant progression of retail, together with the strong development of accessories, testify to the effectiveness of the investments made to further enhance our strategic positioning. Looking closely at the market evolution, we also aim to capitalise on the investment relating to the reorganisation of the Moschino brand’s retail distribution in China, the only area that has marked a slowdown due to health restrictions.”
