Christian Dior

The Fashion & Leather Goods business group recorded organic revenue growth of 20% in the first half of 2023. Profit from recurring operations was up 14%.

Louis Vuitton had an excellent first half, still driven by its exceptional creativity, the quality of its products and its strong links with art and culture. Nicolas Ghesquière's talent for creating a dialogue between fashion and architecture continued to elevate the strong desirability of his Women's collections to the highest level. A new chapter opened with the arrival of Pharrell Williams as Men's Creative Director. Set on the stage of the Pont-Neuf bridge in Paris, his first fashion show was met with huge enthusiasm and more than 1.1 billion views on social media reaching an all-time high. Christian Dior continued to enjoy remarkable growth in all its product categories. Whether in Mumbai, Mexico City or Paris, each of the fashion shows inspired by Maria Grazia Chiuri showcased the exceptional craftsmanship of the Maison. The Lady Dior bag, an icon of the Maison Dior, was also featured in the “Christian Dior, Designer of Dreams” Exhibition at the Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art. The exceptional Dior Homme designs by Kim Jones and the unique high jewelry creations by Victoire de Castellane elevated the superb craftsmanship of the Maison to an unprecedented new contemporary level. The success of Hedi Slimane's creations and fashion shows has continued to increase the desirability of Celine. Driven by the bold creativity of J.W. Anderson, Loewe continued to strengthen its distribution network, most notably with the opening of Casa Dubaï. Fendi opened new stores in Seoul and Tokyo. Loro Piana, Rimowa, Marc Jacobs and Berluti enjoyed an excellent start to the year.
