Buoyed by success at home, Shanghai-founded Icicle is setting its sights on London, Milan and the US. With backing from Gucci owner Kering, the brand is betting that Chinese luxury can find a place on the global stage.
France's luxury goods giant Kering is investing in Icicle, a Chinese luxury brand. It is headed by designer Sabato de Sarno, formerly of Kering's Gucci fashion house.
