• − The Fashion and Leather Goods business group grew despite the very high comparable period in 2014 particularly in Japan, with Louis Vuitton recording an excellent start to the year;
• − Parfums Christian Dior continued to see good momentum thanks to the ongoing success of its iconic perfumes J'adore and Miss Dior and the excellent performance of the make-up segment;
• − Bvlgari continued to deliver good growth driven by the success of its collections;
• − TAG Heuer continued to refocus on its core offering and announced a partnership with Google and Intel to launch a smartwatch;
• − DFS continued to face a complex situation in Asia and has been impacted by currency and geopolitical developments in certain tourist destinations;
• − Sephora had a remarkable performance and continued to gain market share in all regions.
