Valentino Fashion Group renews Missoni partnership

Missoni and the Valentino Fashion Group last week announced they will renew the partnership they initially established in 2005. The VFG S.p.A., home to brands like Marlboro Classics and Hugo Boss, entered into a partnership with Missoni to expand the company's secondary line, M Missoni. "This is a triumph that is perfectly in line with our global development plans, already in place for some time, that have made us continually active and determined thanks to the quality of our product, the appreciation of our international customer base, and the value of the partnership with the Valentine Fashion Group," said Vittorio Missoni. "I'm positive that together we will achieve excellent results."

"This long term renewal expresses the trust that Missoni has in the Valentino Fashion Group," said VFG's CEO, Stefano Sassi. "[It] will allow us to put more emphasis and attention on the development of the retail network and to continue with the ambitious goal of further growth of the brand at a global level."
