Kering’s Post

As a partner of Les Rencontres d'Arles since 2019, Kering is proud to continue and amplify its support for women photographers through its Women In Motion program.   For the 55th edition, celebrating Japan, Kering and Les Rencontres d'Arles are proud to award the 2024 Women In Motion Award for photography to esteemed Japanese photographer Ishiuchi Miyako. You can find her work at Salle Henri-Comte through Belongings, the first monographic exhibition devoted to the artist in France.   Ishiuchi Miyako will also be featured in ‘I'm So Happy You Are Here’, a group exhibition co-produced by Aperture and Les Rencontres and supported by Kering as part of the Women In Motion LAB.   This first-ever exhibition dedicated to the history of women's photography in Japan is accompanied by the first-ever book on the subject, published in English by Aperture and in French by Textuel, also supported by Kering as part of the Women In Motion LAB.   To complete this spotlight on Japanese women photographers, Kering is joining forces with the Japanese photography festival Kyotographie as part of the Arles Associé program to present Transcendance, an exhibition of six artists co-produced by SIGMA. This exhibition is part of the 10/10 project, Celebrating Contemporary Japanese Women Photographers, supported by Kering as part of the Arles Associé program.

PRIDE MONTH AT KERING: REFLECT, EMPOWER, UNITE. This Pride Month, we celebrated the vibrant LGBTQIA+ community and its journey towards equality.

This year, our team members from both Kering and its Houses came together with enthusiasm to join Pride parades in iconic cities worldwide, including New York City, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Milan and London.

Kering est fier de soutenir le Festival Sœurs Jumelles à travers le programme Women In Motion. Crée en 2021, le festival célèbre la musique et l’image et favorise le dialogue entre les acteurs de ces deux filières. Cette année, nous avons eu la chance de remettre le premier Prix Women In Motion Talent Emergent pour la Musique et l’Image avec la complicité de Madame Figaro, à la talentueuse Solann. Depuis 2015, le programme Women In Motion offre une tribune à la réflexion sur la place des femmes dans les arts et la culture. Il récompense, à travers ses Prix, des figures inspirantes; et offre un lieu d’expression à des personnalités qui partagent leur regard sur la représentation des femmes au sein de leur profession. Plongez en musique et en image, dans les temps fort de cette édition. #WomenInMotion

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting the Kering picnic, an enchanting gathering that brought together people - from both retail and offices - from all our Houses, in the beautiful gardens of Laennec, the Kering HQ, in the heart of Paris.  This annual picnic is more than just an event; it's a moment that binds us as a family under the Kering name. Such gatherings are a cornerstone of our culture, underlining the passion, commitment, and the strong sense of community that our people bring into every facet of life at Kering. We are excited to continue fostering these moments of connection and look forward to many more celebrations of our collective accomplishments. #KeringPeople Photo: Philippe Dureuil

Kering unveils a selection of looks from Gucci’s Spring Summer 2025 Men’s Fashion Show. The Spring Summer 2025 men’s fashion show by Sabato De Sarno was presented at Triennale Milano, which has long been a forum where innovators come together and interact, promoting culture as a place of encounter – a notion reflected in the new collection. The looks reveal combinations of precision and playfulness within textures and hues while new eyewear is worn backwards on vivid straps and the molded sole of the Gucci cub3d sneaker presents the Interlocking G with a three-dimensional effect. #GucciSS25 #MFW
