“We are proud to be supporting Kering for the third consecutive year of this initiative dedicated to the young people who dream of working in the world of fashion. The arrival this year of new brands, in addition to those already endorsing us, demonstrates that Empower Talents is a project we can believe in for years to come. Young people are our future, and they need concrete support and opportunities to express their abilities and make their dreams come true,” said Franca Sozzani, director of Vogue Italia.
 
François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering, added: “During the past editions, the Empower Talents project has proven to be a great success. We are delighted with the promising talent identified through the partnership and the opportunity we were able to give these young people, to evolve within some of the most prestigious brands of our Group. Our collaboration with a partner as committed and legitimate as Vogue Italia reflects Kering’s core values and priority towards young talent. I am happy to offer once again talented young candidates the opportunity to learn, express their creativity and grow within our brands.”
