Miu Miu Sales Almost Double in First Half of 2024

Miu Miu reported stellar financial results in the first half of 2024, with sales up 93% in the six-month period ending June 30, according to the Prada Group’s latest report. Amid a luxury slowdown that has negatively affected other brands’ sales figures, Miuccia Prada’s label has outdone itself once more, surpassing its already impressive first-quarter sales increase of 89% thanks to continued consumer demand for its top-ranked products.

“Miu Miu’s strong performance is a testament to the strategy and disciplined execution implemented over the past years,” said Andrea Guerra, the Prada Group’s chief executive officer. “We continue to progress in our journey towards retail excellence, enriching our product range and driving customer engagement to nurture our brands’ desirability.”

Heaven

Gigi Hadid starred in the latest edition of Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s collaboration with Heaven by Marc Jacobs. For this latest capsule, the Turkish-British designer took inspiration from pop-punk nostalgia to create a lineup of edgy, rebellious and coquettish garments that feel very much in line with the zeitgeist’s current lens.

“When I was creating this collection, I had my high school years in mind where I was listening to Avril Lavigne, Runaways, Bikini Kill, and Girlschool and trying to find my identity wearing metallic blue Marc Jacobs platforms, ‘Gothic Lolita’ dresses and band t-shirt,” Fındıkoğlu explained in a statement.

Earlier this week, the Armani Group shared its financial report for 2023, revealing that its revenue increased by 4% to reach €2.45 billion EUR (approx. $2.65 billion USD) in the period.

The company wrote that it experienced a “single-digit slowdown in the second half of 2023 and 2024,” though it still ended up reporting positive growth for the full 12 months.

Armani Group added that its sales “reflect an adjustment within the luxury market, especially in the Asia ex-Japan region and the more accessible segment of the offer, with a single-digit decline in revenues recorded in the second half of 2023 and confirmed in the first half of 2024, as compared to an excellent first half of 2023.”

In a Rolling Stone cover story this week, Ice Spice revealed that she’s working with Billionaire Boys Club on a new collaboration.

While reminiscing on her pre-famous life, Spice remembers her longtime friend and collaborator RiotUSA connecting her Billionaire Boys Club’s warehouse for a job, after she had dropped out of college. “That was a fun-ass job though, because we was able to play music off the laptop and shit. Our boss was mad cool,” she said.

When asked if she had plans to collaborate with the brand today, she confirmed, “It’s coming. WE have BBC x Ice Spice merch.”
