Specifically, the fashion house recorded a 15% increase in retail sales at current exchange rates, or 7% at constant exchange rates, boosted by the positive reception enjoyed by Creative Director Raf Simons' collections.

Christian Dior Couture is 100% owned by the Christian Dior Group, which in turn owns 40.9% of LVMH. In the press release, Christian Dior Couture stated that for the period in question "[the group] continued to record strong growth in Europe and the US, and has accelerated in Japan."
