The Group navigated through a softening market in FY2024: Amidst a dynamic global luxury landscape in 2024, Lanvin Group demonstrated strategic agility by proactively aligning its operations with evolving market conditions. While preliminary FY2024 revenues reflected broader industry trends, the Group’s decisive actions — including optimizing its retail network and enhancing operational efficiency — underscored its commitment to long-term prospects.

St. John and Caruso show resilience while other brands adapted to market shifts: The Group’s diversified brand portfolio demonstrated varying degrees of resilience in 2024. St. John and Caruso showed stability, with 12% and 7% decrease respectively, underscoring the strength of their loyal customer base and distinct market positioning while Wolford faced temporary disruptions in logistics and was affected by a macroeconomic downturn, contributing to a 31% decline in revenue. Lanvin and Sergio Rossi, despite facing industry-wide headwinds, embraced bold creative renewal, setting the stage to redefine their artistic visions and chart a course toward future growth.

Stability in Japan and North America, and EMEA and Greater China experienced softer demand: In 2024, the EMEA region experienced a decline in wholesale purchases, reflecting a cautious distributor sentiment, particularly affecting Lanvin and Sergio Rossi. In Greater China, sales continued to underperform compared to the previous year, during which the Group implemented targeted strategies to reignite growth in this key market. Japan and North American markets demonstrated greater resilience in the face of these challenges, underscoring the strength of Lanvin Group’s brand equity in these regions.

2025 Outlook

In 2025, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, the Group remains committed to its long-term vision, leveraging its unique position in the luxury fashion industry to drive innovation and growth. The Group is enhancing its management capabilities by developing a dynamic leadership team under the new Executive President, Andy Lew, and establishing a second headquarters in Europe to strengthen local presence while optimizing decision-making efficiency.

Lanvin Group has also proactively consolidated its store network, focusing on core business units and optimizing its retail footprint. The appointment of new Artistic Director and Creative Director at Lanvin and Sergio Rossi, respectively, is expected to boost sales, with Peter Copping’s debut show in January 2025 receiving widespread acclaim. Through a strengthened leadership team, strategic retail optimization, and bold creative visions, Lanvin Group is poised to drive innovation and growth, positioning itself for long-term success in the luxury fashion industry.

Tuya Smart x DeepSeek: The Revolutionary Path Empowered by Emotional Home Robots

NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tuya Smart (NYSE: TUYA, HKEX: 2391), a global AI cloud platform service provider, has integrated the DeepSeek large language model into its AIoT platform, helping global developers create a new generation of smart home management robots. With the open-source release of DeepSeek-R1, the wave of intelligence is sweeping across industries at an unprecedented speed. Among these, the transformation in the smart home sector is particularly prominent.

In the iconic Marvel movie “Iron Man,” the AI butler Jarvis, known for his independent thinking and judgment ability, as well as his personable nature, serves as a trusted confidant to the protagonist Tony Stark. As a pioneer in the smart home field, Tuya’s move brings the fantasy of “Jarvis” closer to reality, building a more ideal living space for users.

Unlocking the Potential of the Smart Home Management Market with DeepSeek

Currently, the nature of the global family structure has gradually shifted from what could traditionally be characterized as “many children and youthfulness” to “fewer children and aging,” a change that has significantly increased the pressures of daily life. To address this situation, people are increasingly relying on home management robots to handle chores, childcare, elderly care, and other tasks, which has also driven the booming development of the home management robot market. According to QYR research, the global home service robot market reached USD10.7 billion in 2023, and it is expected to reach USD14.24 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.4% from 2024 to 2030.

Despite the current massive demand in the home management robot market, the field still faces many challenges, including high technical costs and mismatches with operational habits, which significantly affect people’s home life experience.

By integrating DeepSeek, the Tuya AIoT platform will provide more intelligent upgrade solutions for global developers in the field of home management robots to address the challenges faced by the traditional robot market. These robots will be equipped with advanced features such as bio-level interaction and cognitive enhancement, accurately capturing and responding to user commands, thereby transforming into genuine “personal butlers,” offering users a highly convenient and personalized home lifestyle.

Driven by DeepSeek Large Language Model, the “Jarvis” Era is Coming

The era of universal Jarvis has quietly arrived. In this revolutionary wave, how will developers ride the tide? Regarding the future business prospects of smart homes, Tuya and DeepSeek have conducted in-depth analysis to make predictions about the direction of innovations and functions of home management robot products to help developers explore new business opportunities.

1. Virtual Nanny Goes Online, Attending to Daily Life

As people’s demand for robots increases, future robots will enhance their learning, perception, and decision-making abilities with the support of full-domain reasoning technology. They will learn user habits, including wake-up time, favorite games, or patterns unnoticed by the user. Furthermore, they will no longer be limited to working within a specific scenario or set program but will learn and observe the entire home environment and make work decisions through deep reasoning.

For example, in the morning, a robot will prepare a personalized breakfast for the user according to their preferences. After the user finishes eating and is about to leave for work, the robot will begin its daily household cleaning tasks, caring for the elderly and children at home, ensuring that users can work without any worries.

2. Transforming into a Trusted Friend, Engaging in Countless Topics

The demand for home management robots lies in finding a highly anthropomorphic family butler that possesses self-awareness and emotions to understand and respond to human emotions.

When a user tells a dry joke, a robot with emotional cognition will provide the best feedback based on the user’s personality. For example, for an introverted user, the robot might slightly squint and chuckle, “Heh, not bad at all. That one actually got me. I see what you did there.” For an outgoing and cheerful user, it might laugh heartily, “Haha, your creativity is so good that even comedians might lose their jobs!” This interaction brings the robot closer to the user, becoming an indispensable intelligent companion in their lives.

3. “Family Agent” in Action, Guarding Family Safety 24/7

In a family environment with elderly and children, the flexible adaptability of home management robots is particularly important, especially in their ability to respond instantly to various emergencies at home. Such robots can significantly reduce the burden on users in caring for the elderly and children daily and can guard family members’ safety around the clock.

For instance, when parents are out, and a child accidentally knocks over a glass, the robot will sense the change in the object, notify the parents, and clean up the broken glass itself or automatically mobilize other smart devices to handle the glass shards, ensuring the child does not get injured by the broken glass.

With the deep integration of the DeepSeek large language model and the Tuya AIoT platform, home management robots are transforming from a single functional role into an “all-around butler.” These robots will not only possess full-domain reasoning, emotional interaction, and flexible adaptability but will also deeply integrate into family life, becoming a close assistant to users. Under this trend, Tuya will continue to dive deep into the AI field, helping developers achieve more breakthroughs in home management robot innovation, ultimately creating a more efficient and warm future living environment for users.
