Christian Dior Couture

The Fashion & Leather Goods business group recorded organic revenue growth of 47% in 2021 compared to 2020 and 42% compared to 2019. With organic revenue growth of 51% compared to 2019, the fourth quarter showed a sharp rise compared to previous quarters. Profit from recurring operations was up 79% compared to 2020 and 75% compared to 2019.

The end of the year has been marked by the premature passing of Virgil Abloh, Men’s Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton since March 2018. The Maison paid tribute to the life and legacy of this creative genius with the Miami fashion show, “Virgil Was Here”. Louis Vuitton, which celebrated the 200^th anniversary of the birth of its founder, enjoyed a remarkable performance, driven by the success of Nicolas Ghesquière’s creations for the feminine universe of the Maison. Christian Dior Couture had an excellent year with exceptional growth in all its product categories among local customers. The latest fashion shows in Athens and Paris, highlighting the inspiring collections of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Kim Jones, received a tremendous reception. Following its huge success in Paris, London and Shanghai, the Christian Dior, Designer of Dreams exhibition was inaugurated in New York. Celine, thanks to Hedi Slimane and to the success of his collections, and Fendi, driven by the success of Kim Jones collections, had a record year. Loewe, energized by the talent of JW Anderson, and Marc Jacobs also performed particularly well.
