Combined with a firm??regarding ethics, standards for raw materials, and sourcing,?Kering?is well on its way toward its goal of making?Gucci’s garment production process 100% sustainable.
One question arises: Shouldn’t?Gucci?make it easier for its consumers to quickly find out which articles are sustainable and which ones aren’t?

Conclusion
2020 has revealed the weaknesses in?骋耻肠肠颈’s strategy, relying too much on non-local customers. As Fran?ois-Henri Pinault stated during Kering’s annual meeting, the brand continually works on being relevant for its local target market. A good example is the collaboration capsule between?Gucci?and Detroit vs. Everybody — only available for the US market.
Still, if one were to only look at annual reports and raw numbers, one could come to an incorrect conclusion about assortment. Indeed, the ready-to-wear division only generates 18% of?Gucci’s revenue but accounts for 30% of its assortment. Could there be an opportunity to optimize?Gucci’s assortment? Perhaps — but fashion isn’t all about numbers.?
Fashion is about style, self-expression, and — as??said — “Fashion is the aphrodisiac of consumption.”
Gucci?is not going to stop us from wanting more.
