“Prada Group delivered excellent results in 2022, underpinned by brand momentum, greater client engagement and rigorous strategy execution. The Retail channel drove our performance, achieving strong and broad-based organic growth at both Prada and Miu Miu. We performed well across all product categories and geographies, more than offsetting weakness in China due to Covid-19. We continued to develop our sustainability capabilities and activities, ensuring they remained linked to the identities of our brands and relevant to our clients. The recent changes to our governance structure mark a fundamental evolution for the Group. In 2022, we further strengthened our positioning and our organisation, and in the current year we will accelerate the execution of our strategy. We intend to stay on a path of steady and sustainable growth as we work towards the full potential of our brands.”


Andrea Guerra, Group Chief Executive Officer, added:
“I have joined the Prada Group at an exciting time of evolution, and I have found great energy. The Group’s growth potential is large, thanks to its extraordinary creative vision and industrial strength. We will further invest in the desirability of our brands, in the renovation of our retail network and in manufacturing capabilities. Execution will remain critical in the coming years, and we shall continue to build retail excellence, developing more frequent and stronger connections with our clients. In 2023, we expect revenue growth to remain solid and above market average. China has restarted to be an engine of growth; however, in this ever-changing scenario, we will remain vigilant and maintain a disciplined approach to costs and capital allocation.”

Prada and Miu Miu: bold brand heat

In Q4 2022, the Prada Group was the only luxury company to feature its two main brands within the top five of the Lyst Index: Prada ranked first, and Miu Miu fourth.
Lyst also nominated Miu Miu “Brand of the Year”.
Over the year, successful product launches for both brands, effective talent strategy and lively event formats, contributed to the dialogue with growing audiences and strengthened brand awareness.
