Prada Orders Exceeds Expectations By 10 Percent – 2/11/09

Last week, Versace announced a quarter of their workforce will be axed (see the MO Down for 30 October). But it’s a different (much happier) story at Prada where the luxury brand is experiencing “a speedy return to full production.”

According to Reuters, Prada is shortening temporary suspensions* for some workers by three weeks after orders for its Spring/Summer 2010 clothing collection exceeded expectations by 10 percent.

*The Milan fashion group signed an agreement with union workers a few weeks ago to put 250 from a plant of 3,000 into "cassa integrazione" (temporary suspensions where workers receive reduced pay).
