It was a very , very positive quarter , which indicates a gradual return to " normality " in daily life , with a strong desire for healthy planning . The taste that the brand represents is currently generating a strong consensus that translates into important international awards that honour our company , our culture , our land and all of us . The more than satisfying performance of spring collection sales and the sizeable quantity of orders in the portfolio for Autumn Winter , with the resulting more than loving feedback of the world press on our collections , make us envisage a year 2021 with an " excellent " growth in turnover of between 15 and 20 % . We also see a healthy increase in sales for the year 2022 , i.e. around 10 % . " 1
