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.
