Following the success of the You&ME tour in France, which welcomed over 7,500 visitors across 4 cities, the event continues its journey in Italy, making stops in Rome and Florence. For the third edition in the country, LVMH Métiers d’Excellence aims to highlight the diversity of “Made in Italy” craftsmanship to a new generation of talents who can carry forward these traditions.

HOW DOES THE YOU & ME TOUR WORK?

Thanks to its strategic central location, the event sought to engage young talents from across the country.

THE INITIATIVES OF LVMH TO VALORIZE TALENT

LVMH Métiers d’Excellence, active in Italy since 2017, keeps developing projects and initiatives with the goal of safeguarding the heritage of savoir-faire belonging to the Italian ecosystem. In this regard, the You&ME tour will involve many local high schools, which will be encouraged to continue exploring these professions and foster new vocations through other ongoing initiatives, such as Excellent!, a career orientation activity created in 2021 for middle and high school students in Italy, or the in-depth exploration of over 30 free training courses offered by the Institute of Métiers d’Excellence across the country.

At the same time, LVMH Métiers d’Excellence is committed to valorizing talent through its engagement in both internal and external initiatives. Internally, through the Virtuosos program, established in 2021, which fosters excellence within the Group’s Maisons. Externally, by creating the Maestri d’Eccellenza Prize in 2023, in collaboration with Confartigianato Imprese and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (CNMI), which celebrates and promotes the outstanding craftsmanship and heritage that define the essence of Made in Italy.
