Third-quarter net revenues for Prada rose 17.7% at constant exchange rates, driven by double-digit retail sales growth in Asia and Europe and by the doubling of sales at the smaller Miu Miu brand, the Italian luxury group said on Wednesday.

The main brand Prada reported a 1.7% increase in retail sales in the period, slowing down compared to the previous quarter, Reuters reported.

"We progressed through the year with another quarter of high-quality, like-for-like growth, supporting our positive trajectory in both revenue and margins," Prada Chief Executive Officer Andrea Guerra said in a statement, adding that the group's main brand showed resilience against sector headwinds.

The luxury sector is suffering a slowdown.

Earlier this month Kering reported that its revenues fell 16% on an organic basis and luxury bellwether LVMH missed expectations, flagging a drop in Chinese consumer confidence.

Prada's brand CEO Gianfranco D'Attis will leave the Italian luxury firm at the end of the month by "mutual agreement", Prada said on Sunday.

Prada Group's CEO Andrea Guerra will take on the role of brand CEO on an interim basis, the company told Reuters.

The news was first reported by fashion trade publication WWD.

Luxury fashion has seen several changes in senior leadership and creative directors.

Luxury goods giant Kering, which owns Gucci, last week named Renault boss Luca de Meo as its new CEO, replacing Francois-Henri Pinault, who has led the heavily indebted family firm since 2005.

Top luxury houses are also betting on a new design direction to help rekindle interest from shoppers, who have pulled back on fashion as prices rise.

Earlier in June, LVMH-owned Dior appointed its menswear designer, Jonathan Anderson, to also head womenswear designs and haute couture, replacing Maria Grazia Chiuri.

Kering in May appointed former Valentino designer Pierpaolo Piccioli as creative director of Balenciaga, replacing Demna, who was taking up the chief design job at Gucci.

Designer changes have also taken place at Chanel, Versace, Valentino and LVMH-owned Celine among others.
