Italian designer Giambattista Valli is said to have regained full control of his eponymous Paris fashion house.
He is said to have reached an agreement to buy back the shares that previously belonged to Artémis, reports the trade magazine WWD. This transaction marks the end of a financial collaboration lasting several years. It also seals the return to independence of the brand of the same name.
Artémis joined the brand in 2017 with a minority stake and became the majority owner in 2021. The holding company, which manages the assets of the Pinault family, originally aimed to support the structuring and international development of the fashion house.
However, the first signs of structural change appeared at the beginning of the year. In January 2026, Giambattista Valli canceled his participation in the Haute Couture Week just a few days before the scheduled date. The fashion house said in a statement at the time: “This decision is part of a comprehensive review of the organization and priorities of its operations.” At this point there were even reports of a possible closure of the fashion house.
