The latter told a press conference that the family remained in control of the business, however <strong>a new vice-chairman,\u00a0Michele Norsa, the former CEO of Salvatore Ferragamo, has been appointed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FSI has said that the <strong>long-term aim would be to seek a stock-market listing for the business<\/strong> and Norsa has experience of the process having floated Ferragamo in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The news comes one day after it was revealed that <strong>Dries Van Noten<\/strong>, another of the last remaining independent luxury designers, had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/\/dries-van-noten-acquired-by-spanish-group-puig\/\">agreed to sell a majority stake in his business to Spanish fashion and fragrance group Puig<\/a>. Van Noten remains a minority shareholder in the business and will continue as creative director.<\/p>\n<p>Industry watchers say the pace of change in technology and in globalisation makes its more difficult for family-owned and independent luxury labels to compete when faced with rivals who are<strong> part of large global conglomerates such as LVMH, Richemont and Kering.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":148819,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10488,9763,10585,6],"tags":[13183,10086,10023,11163,11455,12789,13184],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Missoni says family will remain in control after sale of 41.2% stake - TheIndustry.fashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Missonis have sold a 42.1% stake in their luxury fashion business to Italian state-backed private equity house\u00a0FSI (Fondi Strategico Italiano) for\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/missoni-says-family-will-remain-in-control-after-sale-of-41-2-stake\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Missoni says family will remain in control after sale of 41.2% stake - TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Missonis have sold a 42.1% stake in their luxury fashion business to Italian state-backed private equity house\u00a0FSI (Fondi Strategico Italiano) for\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/missoni-says-family-will-remain-in-control-after-sale-of-41-2-stake\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TheIndustry.fashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theindustryfashion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-06-15T15:18:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-08-12T13:53:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Missoni-2.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"960\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"676\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@theindustryfash\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Lauretta Roberts\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/missoni-says-family-will-remain-in-control-after-sale-of-41-2-stake\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/missoni-says-family-will-remain-in-control-after-sale-of-41-2-stake\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Lauretta Roberts\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#\/schema\/person\/85b04a16eba8c6cd7a9534c5a4262b89\"},\"headline\":\"Missoni says family will remain in control after sale of 41.2% stake\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-06-15T15:18:36+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-08-12T13:53:05+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/missoni-says-family-will-remain-in-control-after-sale-of-41-2-stake\/\"},\"wordCount\":267,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.theindustry.fashion\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Angela Missoni\",\"Dries van Noten\",\"Luxury\",\"Missoni\",\"Private Equity\",\"Puig\",\"Rosita Missoni\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Brands &amp;
