François-Henri Pinault’s Fashion Empire & Cannes Sponsor Kering Sees Shares Plunge Following Gucci Appointment
Shares in François-Henri Pinault’s luxury fashion empire Kering fell sharply on Friday following his decision to appoint in-house talent Demna as artistic director of the group’s flagging Gucci label.
The group’s share price fell as much as 13.5% in early trading on the Paris Stock Exchange, representing a three-month low.
