Mytheresa Acquires Yoox Net-A-Porter From Richemont

In one of the most viral retail announcements this year, online fashion platform Mytheresa has acquired Yoox Net-A-Porter from Swiss group Richemont. According to a brand release, Richemont sold Yoox Net-a-Porter to Mytheresa for €555 million in cash (approx. $608.8 million USD). The new deal finds Mytheresa aiming to expand into a digital luxury group, which includes three storefronts for Mytheresa, Net-a-Porter, and Mr. Porter—plus an off-priced division that combines Yoox and The Outnet—according to CEO Michael Kliger. Additionally, Richemont will have the power to nominate a member and an observer to Mytheresa’s Supervisory Board. The transaction itself is set to close in the first half of 2025, leaving much to look forward to!

Jacob Elordi Hits The Road For Bottega Veneta’s New Campaign

Pack your bags! Bottega Veneta is taking a trip to the desert for its new “Going Places” campaign, with brand ambassador Jacob Elordi in tow. Inspired by the spirit of travel, the new campaign by photographer Alec Soth finds Elordi leaping through landscapes in full Bottega looks. His travel wardrobe includes a suede jacket over a plaid shirt, tie, and trousers, as well as a dark sweater and belted trousers. Core shots find him posing in a minimalist white tank top over light khakis while barefoot, accompanied by Bottega’s newest version of its Andiamo weekender bag—a heritage-inspired design by Matthieu Blazy. The campaign launch follows the success of Blazy’s Spring 2025 runway show, an industry-wide highlight at Milan Fashion Week.
