By offering to pay \u20ac25 million for La Perla through Luxury Holding LLC, Peter Kern was not the highest bidder<\/b> in financial terms among the candidates for the takeover, according to the Italian daily Il Messaggero, which included Italian lingerie brand Calzedonia. The latter had already been an unsuccessful candidate for the takeover during a previous receivership of the brand in 2013.<\/p>\n
