Hong Kong-listed Prada is looking at a dual listing on the Milan bourse, though it is not the Italian fashion group's priority, the Chief Executive said on Monday.
A dual listing in Europe would help Prada widen its investor base, as some investment funds can only put money in European or US stocks, Reuters said.
Andrea Guerra added that Prada had no need for M&A deals in the next 3-5 years, but would carry on with organic growth, "to have the role that belongs to us", speaking at a fashion conference

LVMH label Loewe said on Monday that creative director Jonathan Anderson was leaving the Spanish luxury house after 11 years in the role.

Its statement did not say who was taking over from the British designer or where he was going, though some media outlets, including Women's Wear Daily, have reported that he is moving to LVMH's Dior.

LVMH declined to comment.

The Loewe brand has experienced "exceptional growth" under Anderson's direction, the statement said.

His move is one of several recent designer changes across major brands in a luxury sector generally experiencing slowing growth.
