The new 2024 Resort collection from Genny is a passport to the world.
The aesthetic idea, developed by the creative director Sara Cavazza,
goes beyond the boundaries of the seasons and physical places.
It collects along a journey, the most glamorous attitudes
that only a constantly international identity can show.

The Genny brand was first launched in 1962 by Arnaldo and Donatella Girombelli. The collection soon gained acclaim and popularity among women, claiming its place among the top names in Italian fashion, also on account of the stylistic contribution of famous designers such as Gianni Versace, who became the Creative Director at Genny in 1973.
The brand has belonged to Swinger International Group of Verona since 2011, which has chosen a new direction for Genny’s original style, focusing on aesthetics that feature flowing lines and a more feminine mood, achieved through painstaking attention to features and details. This makes for collections that combine classic elements and modern textures, the interplay of prints and transparencies, resulting in prêt à porter collections that are undoubtedly chic but remember to cater for the needs of contemporary women.
All with the guarantee of Made in Italy.
This transformation was made possible by Sara Cavazza Facchini, Artistic Director of the Maison since 2013, who has skilfully blended its heritage with a sense of timeless elegance, a genuine air of femininity and a contemporary mood achieved through the details.
With the added factor of conscientious sustainability, translating into the sustainable quality of the collections designed by Genny, and also embracing social responsibility for its employees and safeguarding the low impact of its products on the environment (responsible luxury).
Specialised press, fashion bloggers and customers have welcomed this new direction of Genny with renewed enthusiasm, whose intention for the future is to consolidate its style, expand its presence in key markets, and export the concept of Italian style at international level.
GENNY’S ART DIRECTOR
Her story is the product of the coexistence of various cultures and opposing geographical locations: intimately cosmopolitan, intensely curious and passionate for novelties and new currents, sensitive to cultural diversity, she was drawn to travel around the world and to deeply explore any context she found herself in.
In 2011 Swinger acquired Genny, a historic pret-à-porter brand, with the aim of helping the maison to regain some of the prestige that had made it famous around the world for its style and tailored cuts. Sara Cavazza Facchini was in charge of the special projects for the brand, such as licenses, as well as restyling retail and advertising.
In June 2013 she was appointed creative director of Genny.
A visionary who is full of interests, Sara Facchini loves beauty in every form, she is a woman of great talent, strongly dedicated to her work, an entrepreneur but most of all a mother, she incarnates ingenuity and depth. Her spirit is contagious and her warmth is beguiling. Her deep-rooted drive and vision make her a woman for all women: but a mother and wife, to begin with. And a creative entrepreneur to follow.

Inspired as much by Olivier Rousteing’s most recent fashion-week offerings as by the 75-years of house runways that preceded them, Balmain Eyewear continues to meld together the Parisian house’s singular design heritage and Akoni’s impressive optical engineering expertise, relying on only the finest artisans and materials to create a singular offering for luxury eyewear. Balmain Army members will quickly spot how this latest collection clearly channels the house’s distinctive codes, with metal mesh patterns repeating the unmistakable Balmain Labyrinth motif on striking side shields, dynamic frame flourishes evoking the atelier’s impeccable house tailoring and powerful pagoda shoulders and a multitude of golden bands and finishing touches looking to the distinctive couture-like embellishments that form a part of every Balmain presentation. Color choice reflect signature tones of iconic designs, or the most recent key runway looks, while strong silhouettes evoke the unmistakable lines of “Jolie Madame,” the “New French Style” or Rousteing’s latest rock-meets-runway inspirations. But, more than anything, the Akoni team has worked closely with Rousteing to ensure that this new collection is infused with the distinctive confidence-enhancing spirit that Balmain is celebrated for—always bold, forever audacious, and consistently pushing every envelope. That empowering spirit is evident in the many eye-catching sculptural additions that are new for this season’s frames, including compelling visors and energetic extensions adding movement and verve.
Pierre Balmain founded his eponymous house as a Parisian couture address over 75 years ago—and every Balmain creation since Monsieur Balmain’s very first 1945 collection has been built upon the distinctive couture formula that pairs strict construction with the finest artisanal embellishment. Balmain Eyewear’s Brigitte makes the house’s impressive couture heritage even more clear. The frame’s unique structure—crafted from the finest featherweight Japanese titanium dense and sleek Japanese Acetate—was inspired by the classic cinematic image of a wind-whipped silk scarf worn inside an open cabriolet. The Akoni Group team’s skillful channeling of the fresh and liberating spirit that has long set apart the collections of both Pierre Balmain and Olivier Rousteing is underlined by the iconic color combinations—each based on key runway tonal pairings.
When house stylists aim to stress Balmain’s unique rock-meets-runway personality, more often than not, they accessorize the house’s models with the latest designs from Balmain Eyewear B- series of frames. The newest take on the B frame, the B-VI, continues to build upon that rebellious silhouette—and, in addition to the now-familiar flattened top and geometric cat-eye touches, this edition adds a sharp and distinctive, top-of-frame shielding visor, expertly carved from the sleek.
Look closely. This unique style captures much of the distinctive Balmain DNA. Rounded lenses reference ‘80s rock rebel styling—an important influence in almost every collection shown during the Olivier Rousteing era. Patterns expertly etched into Japanese titanium half-rims echo the striking rhythms of classic Haussmannien exteriors—the type of distinctively Parisian architectural flair that has been channeled into Balmain offerings for over 75 years. An array of striking color combinations reflects iconic Balmain tones: the always present black-and-gold pairing, the fresh blue-and-silver mix of the house’s signature marinière offerings and a rich bronze and dark-brown faux-tortoise that channels looks that Rousteing recently sent down fashion-week runways.
The Officier, the squared-off, unisex take on the iconic navigator frame, has been one of Balmain Eyewear’s most popular designs—and it’s not hard to see why. The Akoni and Balmain design teams pushed the classic silhouette to new and surprising limits, adding expert detailing that channeled Balmain’s long fascination with the regal splendor of the court at Versailles. Building upon the success of that singular design, Balmain Eyewear offers a new luxurious and exclusive re-edition of the Officier for Spring 2022. Limited globally to just 200 designs, the special-edition
spin on the Officier clearly recalls the house’s haute-couture origins, with the powerful bronze tones of the lenses created via a double color infusion and the rims and temples of the silhouette—just like Versailles’ most precious designs—coated with real gold.
in line with the singular DNA and easily recognized codes of Balmain. The eyewear collection reflects the STRONG • AUDACIOUS • CONFIDENT SPIRIT of the BALMAIN ARMY.
The gold touches recall Pierre Balmain’s signature golden medaillons and gilded buttons.
The details and high level of craftsmanship echo Balmain’s famed ateliers.

Pierre Montale had a date with destiny 20 years ago in the far reaches of the Kingdom of Arabia. Inspired by the beauty and hidden secrets of the Eastern world, between learning process and pure marvel, he composes with confidential and millennial olfactory materials such as rose, incense, amber, cedar, precious woods and a thousand other wonderful scents like happy ointments or love potions. On the range of Pierre Montale’s most popular scents rises the spirit of the oud, keeper of traditions at the gates to the east. Pierre Montale will become the first ambassador for the West. Subjugated by his infinite combinatorial properties, Pierre Montale became the first ambassador of oud for the west. Back to his homeland in 2003, he presents his first creations under the aegis of the new eponymous house. A unique olfactory immersion revealing a perfection only accessible with our eyes closed.
On the range of Pierre Montale’s most popular scents rises the spirit of the oud, keeper of traditions at the gates to the east. Fragrant Asian ointment commonly used in the gulf region and Saudi Arabia, this scent is extracted from the oud tree. A secret millennia process kept away from light during several years. Subjugated by his infinite combinatorial properties, Pierre Montale became the first exporter of oud for the west. He will then compose more than a hundred of timeless fragrances.
The aluminum bottle, commonly used by the perfumers of Grasse in larger sizes to retain their perfume concentrates, has become a bottle of niche perfumery and a luxury product. It embodies the combination of luxurious modernity and the preservation of traditions. The aluminum bottle Montale has been specially created to protect and preserve the valuable essences and contribute to their evolution.
“Inspired by our most iconic Balmain Eyewear styles, Akoni team and myself created a new type of aviator incorporating the maison’s DNA. Gendarme features a squared-off silhouette that splits the signature front shield into two separate lenses, resulting in a more angular version of the traditional tear-drop shape.”
