D’Attis’ exit is the latest in a string of high-profile leadership changes as luxury houses retool their C-suites and creative benches to regain consumer momentum amid slowing demand and rising economic pressure.

From Kering naming Renault chief Luca de Meo as its new CEO to Jonathan Anderson’s expanded role at Dior and Pierpaolo Piccioli’s return via Balenciaga, the industry is undergoing what appears to be a full-scale strategic and generational recalibration. As shoppers grow more selective and legacy maisons search for fresher relevance, the spotlight is shifting from heritage to innovation in both boardrooms and ateliers.
