Recently, Andrea Bonomi, the founder of Italian private equity fund Investindustrial, delivered a speech entitled "Finance Helps Fashion and Design" at Milano Parigi Capital2022, and illustrated that Italians are experts in managing complex market situations.
Andrea Bonomi believes that even if inflation and other risk factors still exist in the current market, it is a good time for Italian entrepreneurs with financial strength to increase their investment.
Milan is the capital of industry, fashion, university, design, research, banking and finance. MilanoCapitali was first launched in 2019, and was organized by Italy’s Class Editori. In this Milano Parigi Capital2022 event, experts from various industries will discuss and learn about Italian and French fashions for three days (from September 13th to September 15th).
As the head of an enterprise group with more than 11 billion euros of available resources, Andrea Bonomi said: "In order for investment to continue to grow, it is important to have capital or economic strength. Over the years, our business in Italy has been subject to many restrictions, because most of the companies are run by individual entrepreneurs. Nowadays, our enthusiasm for investment in the fashion industry has not been seen for many years. "
Andrea Bonomi said that the Italian luxury goods group Ermenegildo Zegna (Dzheniya) showed a positive attitude in this regard. Dzheniya Group merged with Invest Industrial Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) under Investindustrial VII LP, and was listed on the new york Stock Exchange in December 2021.
Bonomi also said: "Our only goal is to make our partners stronger, and we will never misinterpret any wishes of the brand. This distinguishes us from the French, who are more like a financial machine, although they respect brand identity very much. Our nature is different. "
In fact, Bonomi’s scope of dabbling includes not only fashion.
The entrepreneur also controls the high-end home furnishing group Design Holding. In addition to Danish lighting brand Louis Poulsen, Design holding also owns well-known home brands such as Flos, B&B Italia, Arclinea, Maxalto, Azucena and YDesign. Design Holding has also set up a joint venture with luxury brand Fendi to develop Fendi Casa home business on a global scale.
Bonomi said: "Fendi is a French (LVMH Group) company that runs Italian fashion. They are very good at consolidating their position in the world. Now we will bring our experience from the perspective of product design. "
