Passionate  
about creativity

The LVMH spirit

The LVMH Group was formed in 1987, following the merger 
between Louis Vuitton and Moët Hennessy. From the outset, 
Bernard Arnault gave the Group a clear vision: to become the 
world leader in luxury, with a philosophy summed up in its motto, 
“Passionate about creativity”. Today, the LVMH Group comprises 
75 exceptional Maisons, each of which creates products that 
embody unique craftsmanship, rooted in their rich heritage and 
their contemporary creativity. Through their creations and their 
historic values, our Maisons are the ambassadors of the culture 
and art de vivre that our Group is known for worldwide.
LVMH nurtures a family spirit underpinned by a long-term corpo-
rate vision. The Group’s vocation is to ensure the development 
of each of our Maisons while respecting their identity and 
their autonomy, by providing all the resources they need to 
design, produce and distribute their creations through carefully 
selected channels.
Our Group and Maisons put heart and soul into everything they 
do. Our core identity is based on the fundamental values that run 
through our entire Group and are shared by all of us. These values 
drive our Maisons’ performance and ensure their longevity, while 
keeping them attuned to the world around us and connected to 
society. Since its inception, the Group has made sustainable 
development one of its strategic priorities. Today, this policy 
provides a powerful response to the issues of corporate ethical 
responsibility in general, as well as the role a group like LVMH 
should play within French society and internationally.

Our philosophy: Passionate about creativity

The values of a deeply 
committed Group

Being creative and innovative
Creativity and innovation are part of LVMH’s DNA, and have always been the keys to our 

Maisons’ success and the basis of their solid reputations. These fundamental values of 

creativity and innovation are pursued in tandem by our Group’s Maisons as they focus on 

achieving the ideal balance between continually renewing their offer while resolutely 

looking to the future, always respecting their unique heritage.

Delivering excellence
Within the Group, quality can never be compromised. Because the Maisons embody 

everything that is most noble and accomplished in the world of fine craftsmanship, they 

pay extremely close attention to detail and strive for perfection: from products to 

 services, it is in this quest for excellence that the Group differentiates itself.

Cultivating an entrepreneurial spirit
The Group’s agile, decentralized structure fosters efficiency and responsiveness. It 

encourages individuals to take initiative by giving everyone a significant level of responsi-

bility. The entrepreneurial spirit promoted by the Group makes risk-taking easier and 

encourages perseverance. It requires a pragmatic approach and the ability to motivate 

staff to achieve ambitious goals.

Taking action to make a difference
Every action taken by the Group and its employees reflects our commitment to ethics, 

corporate social responsibility and respect for the environment. They drive our Maisons’ 

performance and ensure their longevity. Firmly convinced that truly desirable products 

can only come from sustainable businesses, we are committed to ensuring that our products 

and the way they are made have a positive impact on our entire ecosystem and the places 

we operate, and that our Group is actively working to build a better future for our planet.

The Fondation Louis Vuitton, which opened in 2014, is now recog-

In 2020, following the success of the Charlotte Perriand: Inventing a

Cindy Sherman at the Fondation exhibition, whose opening was post-

poned due to the pandemic, was able to open its doors to the public 

on September 23, 2020. 

Throughout 2021 and 2022, the Fondation Louis Vuitton continued to 

pursue its core missions: supporting artists and building a dialogue 

between key figures in modern art, leading lights of the international

doors to the public on September 22, 2021. It closed on April 3, 2022, 

after welcoming 1,250,000 visitors. This highly anticipated exhibition, 

which received unanimous praise from the art world, featured master-

pieces that had never been exhibited outside of Russia from the collec-

tion of European and Russian modern art assembled by the Muscovite 

brothers  Mikhail  Abramovich  Morozov  (1870-1903)  and  Ivan 

Abramovich Morozov (1871-1921). This historic presentation of The 

Morozov Collection echoed the 2016 Shchukin collection exhibition, 

which marked an unprecedented new era in the partnership between 

the Fondation Louis Vuitton and major Russian museums. 

The Hantai exhibition was held from May 18 to August 29, 2022. 

Lastly, the Monet-Mitchell exhibition and the Joan Mitchell retrospective 

opened on October 5, 2022.

The Fondation Louis Vuitton continued its international Hors-Les-Murs 

(“Beyond the Walls”) program throughout the year, with the works in 

its collection shown in a number of exhibitions held at its Espace Louis 

Vuitton locations in Tokyo, Munich, Venice, Beijing, Seoul and Osaka.

WINES & 
SPIRITS

2022

A value-enhancing strategy
for lasting success

LVMH owes its global leadership in premium wines 

and spirits to a unique group of exceptional Maisons 

based in Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy and 

other  highly  renowned  wine-growing  regions. 

Inspired by their visionary founders and drawing 

on their strong heritage – which for some goes 

back hundreds of years – they all share the key 

 values  of  excellence  and  creativity,  combining 

 tradition with innovation.

Well-balanced, worldwide presence
In the current context, Moët Hennessy continues to 

pursue a value-enhancing strategy focused on the 

highest-quality products. The balanced geographic 

expansion of its portfolio of brands continues thanks 

to a powerful and agile global distribution network 

present in over 160 countries.

Responsible procurement policy
To support future growth and maintain the very 

high quality that has made its Maisons a success, 

the Wines  &  Spirits  business  group  pursues  a 

dynamic, responsible procurement policy. All the 

vineyards owned by LVMH have had sustainable 

winegrowing  certification  since  2017,  and  the 

Maisons forge partnerships with winegrowers by 

helping their independent grape suppliers comply 

with these certifications. Significant work is also 

being done in the area of packaging. The Maisons 

are devoting equal effort to actively developing 

their production capacities, as seen in the responsi-

ble, innovative and efficient Pont Neuf bottling and 

logistics facility inaugurated by Hennessy in 2017, 

which reflects the Maison’s long-term vision.

2023 OUTLOOK 

The economic and geopolitical environment 
remains uncertain in key markets, due in particular 
to the effects of inflation and developments relating 
to the public health situation in China. Against 
this backdrop, the Wines & Spirits business group 
is going into 2023 with confidence and determina-
tion, mindful of the need to maintain a pragmatic, 
agile approach. Excellence, authenticity, innova-
tion and sustainability remain central to the business 
group’s value-enhancing strategy that helps fuel 
its growth, as does the diversification of Moët 
Hennessy’s portfolio. Backed by the strength of 
its highly appealing brands as well as its vibrant, 
diverse and highly committed staff, the business 
group remains resolutely optimistic about the 
medium- and long-term development prospects 
of its Maisons. In line with Moët Hennessy’s over-
arching focus on crafting experiences, the business 
group will build stronger ties with customers by 
taking a selective approach to points of sale, 
launching bold innovations and collaborations, 
crafting experiences that are ever more meaning-
ful and unique for enjoying its products, and 
stepping up its digital presence. More aware 
than ever of the value of their heritage and their 
responsibility,  all  of  the  Maisons  are  taking 
greater steps to act sustainably, protect the envi-
ronment and reduce their carbon footprint.

The Maison also celebrated the 50th anniversary of

 STORIES

A legend of Napa Valley

JOSEPH PHELPS — LVMH has added Joseph Phelps Vineyards to its portfolio of high-end wines 
and spirits. Founded in 1973 by Joseph Phelps, the winery – and notably its legendary Insignia wine,  
a Bordeaux-style blend – quickly became synonymous with Napa Valley excellence. In the early 1970s, 
Napa Valley was still a relatively small-scale farming town, but the discovery of its high-quality wines 
would soon make it a household name. Drawing on his experience in construction, Joseph Phelps 
helped lay the groundwork for excellence in the California winemaking industry. Today, Joseph Phelps 
Vineyards and its flagship Insignia wine perpetuate the founder’s legacy of exceptional quality,  
with his vision of winemaking excellence preserved, perfected and protected in each bottle, to be 
passed down to future generations.

LVMH 2022  .  Wines & SpiritsLand art  
and nature

RUINART — As part of the 
countdown to its 300th 
anniversary, Ruinart invited land 
art pioneer Nils-Udo to create  
a unique work of art in the heart 
of its Taissy vineyard. The artist 
recovered old wood grapevine 
trunks and pruned vine shoots  
to reinfuse the vineyard  
with biodiversity. Using these 
completely natural materials,  
he created three “Habitats” 
designed to provide shelter for 
birds, squirrels, bees, caterpillars 
and other creatures. With  
the help of these monumental 
sculptures, life is regenerated 
throughout the 40-hectare Taissy 
vineyard, where the Maison  
has launched a pilot project to 
promote biodiversity. Since 2021, 
Ruinart has planted over 12,000 
trees and shrubs in the vineyard, 
most of which are local species.
Ruinart will celebrate its  
300th anniversary in 2029.  
By then, ten works of art will 
have been installed on the Maison’s 
historic terroir, enriching its legacy 
and combining art, nature and 
technology.

LVMH 2022  .  Wines & SpiritsA first harvest of certified-organic grapes

DOMAINE DES LAMBRAYS — Located in Morey-Saint-Denis, Clos des Lambrays is one of Burgundy’s oldest and most 
prestigious vineyards. Its wines are renowned for their unique personality and regularly feature in the Top 100 lists of leading  
wine publications. The Côte de Nuits icon, which has been making wine for over 650 years, is modernizing yet again. In 2019,  
the Domaine reviewed all its winemaking practices and started to convert to organic winegrowing. The ensuing work  
on its vineyards has produced outstanding grapes, and to provide them with the winery equipment they deserve, Domaine  
des Lambrays has also completely refurbished its vat room and cellars. After a meticulous three-year process, the 2022 grape 
harvest is the first to be certified organic by certification specialist Ecocert.

Forest 
Destination

HENNESSY — Since it was 
founded, over 250 years ago, 
Hennessy has had deep ties  
with forests: during the crucial 
aging stage, it is the interaction 
between the casks’ oak wood 
and the eaux-de-vie that creates 
cognac. The Maison officially 
launched its “Forest Destination” 
program in 2022. The initiative, 
for which the groundwork was 
laid starting in 2020, aims  
to regenerate 50,000 hectares 
of forest worldwide by 2030.  
To meet this target, Hennessy 
has joined forces with a group of 
specialists – including the French 
Forestry Commission (ONF) – 
and is putting the program into 
action in all the regions where  
it operates. Outside France, 
Hennessy has partnered with 
Reforest’Action, using its expertise 
to take action where it is most 
needed, in the most heavily 
affected ecosystems in Africa 
(Kenya, Nigeria and South 
Africa), the United States and 
China. This long-term commitment 
will help the Maison see projects 
through to completion  
and ensure their success.

VEUVE CLICQUOT — Solaire Culture – Veuve Clicquot’s first traveling exhibition, held in Tokyo, then Los Angeles, followed by an upcoming opening  
in London in May 2023 – celebrates the champagne house’s 250th anniversary. Solaire Culture offers an unprecedented immersion in “Clicquot Culture”, 
paying tribute to the Maison’s creativity and boldness, and unveils exclusive contemporary artworks. The exhibition features nearly a hundred of the Maison’s 
emblematic treasures, including a portrait of Madame Clicquot reinterpreted by artist Yayoi Kusama, and an original 1840s bottle of Veuve Clicquot –  
an incredible discovery by divers exploring a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea. Designed by French curator Camille Morineau, and scenographer and designer 
Constance Guisset, Solaire Culture is also an all-women exhibition, showcasing the works of 10 internationally renowned female artists – including  
Sheila Hicks, Monique Frydman, Tacita Dean, Olimpia Zagnoli and Pénélope Bagieu – with an original work by each one inspired by Madame Clicquot,  
the Maison’s creations or its signature Yellow Label hue.

In perfect harmony with nature

CHÂTEAU GALOUPET — The story of Château Galoupet, an estate that has been on the map since the 18th century and a Cru Classé de Provence since 1955,  
is intertwined with its unique ecosystem of 77 hectares of protected woodland and 69 hectares of vineyard. Tucked away in the Massif des Maures, next to protected  
salt marshes and overlooking the islands of Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Levant, Château Galoupet’s ambition is to craft exceptional, exemplary expressions of the unique 
Provence terroir in the most eco-friendly way – from ground to glass. The totality of Château Galoupet’s vineyard has been converting to organic winegrowing since 
August 2020, and will be fully certified in 2023. Crafted from 100% estate-grown grapes, Château Galoupet Cru Classé Rosé 2021 is presented in a 70% recycled amber 
glass bottle weighing just 499 grams – a redesign firmly focused on sustainability.

2023 OUTLOOK

With the vigilance required by an economic and 
geopolitical context that remains uncertain, the 
Fashion & Leather Goods Maisons will continue 
investing for ever more appealing designs, unique 
customer experiences and further progress in 
corporate social responsibility. Louis Vuitton will 
spur  momentum  over  the  months  ahead  by 
focusing on the quest for perfection and creativ-
ity that runs through all its professions. The 
Maison will continue to anchor its growth in the 
constant reinvention of its iconic product lines 
and the quality driven development of its retail 
network and its manufacturing sites. It will con-
tinue its dialogue with art and artists, as already 
demonstrated at the beginning of 2023 by a second 
colorful collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi 
Kusama. It will actively  pursue its commitment to 
promoting and passing on excellence in crafts-
manship, sales and design professions. Christian 
Dior will aim to maintain its remarkable pace of 
growth. To this end, the Maison will continue to 
showcase its timeless modernity and Monsieur 
Dior’s unique values, which continue to inspire 
its designers, season after season. The months 
ahead will  feature  a  number  of  exceptional 
shows, openings and events worldwide. Driven 
by its powerful creative vision, Celine will con-
tinue  enhancing  its  appeal,  guided  by  Hedi 
Slimane, and will expand its retail network with 
the opening of several flagship stores and the 
resumption of direct control over its distribution. 
All the Maisons will focus on selectively expanding 
and cultivating excellence in their retail networks.

Louis Vuitton’s global preeminence, Christian Dior’s

exceptional development, the growth of a collection 

of unique brands whose success is consolidated 

year after year, and its active support for young 

designers make LVMH a key player in the fashion 

and leather goods industry.

Inspired designers
Working with the best designers, while respecting 

the spirit of each brand, is one of our strategic pri-

orities. Our creative directors promote the Maisons’ 

distinctive identities, and are the artisans of their 

creative excellence.

Balance between iconic products 
and innovation
Since 1854, Louis Vuitton’s renown has been built on 

the flawless execution of its unique trunk-making 

expertise, its full control over distribution and its 

exceptional creative imagination: a source of per-

petual renewal and innovation. Ever since its first 

show, dubbed “New Look” by the press, Christian 

Dior has continued to redefine fashion as it has 

become an icon of French luxury throughout the 

world. Monsieur Dior’s unique vision is conveyed 

today with bold inventiveness throughout the Maison’s 

entire range. By striking the right  balance between 

new releases and iconic lines, these two Maisons 

continue to dazzle and surprise their customers, 

making their boutiques ever more inspiring.

An engaged industry leader
LVMH has always been committed to supporting 

young designers and up-and-coming talent. The 

LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers, which 

recognizes the creative talent of an outstanding 

designer every year, was created to reaffirm this 

commitment. As a fashion industry leader, LVMH 

feels that is our vocation to nurture the most prom-

ising creative talent. We also feel it is our responsi-

bility to ensure the well-being of the fashion models 

who work for our Maisons, which is why we decided 
to draw up the Charter on Working Relations with 

Fashion Models and their Well-Being.

 STORIES

Visual hyperbole as a stylistic device

LOUIS VUITTON — Nicolas Ghesquière presented his Louis Vuitton Women’s Spring/Summer 2023 
collection in Paris in the majestic surroundings of the Louvre’s Cour Carrée courtyard. For the first 
time, the Maison’s Creative Director of Womenswear invited contemporary French artist Philippe 
Parreno and American production designer James Chinlund to design the event’s spectacular set. 
The collection put femininity in the spotlight, viewing it through the prism of hyperbole, glorifying  
its complexity, exaggerating it and giving it all the limelight. The show’s looks juxtaposed the infinitely 
large and the infinitely small, inviting a different perspective. Through this interplay of proportion,  
the Maison’s hallmarks were supersized and became an integral part of the collection’s narrative, with 
the famous luggage tag and iconic key holder enlarged into real handbags. This exponential vision 
showcased Louis Vuitton’s historic roots in fine leather goods and its development into a full-fledged 
fashion house, with the same exacting approach used in leathercraft applied to clothing.

forever

DIOR — In March 2022,  
after more than two years of 
renovations, the House of Dior’s 
legendary hôtel particulier at  
30 avenue Montaigne reopened 
its doors. For seventy-six years, 
the building – whose charm 
Christian Dior fell for in 1946 – 
has witnessed the birth of the 
Maison’s collections, and become 
the emblem of Parisian elegance 
and French haute couture.
The historic birthplace of Dior’s 
revolutionary New Look has 
been transformed into a location 
like no other: the incarnation  
of endless possibilities. In a feat 
accomplished by architect Peter 
Marino, this iconic address 
celebrates excellence, exquisite 
expertise and a passion for  
the art of living, fine dining and 
culture. Indeed, this flagship is 
not just an exceptional boutique: 
it also comprises an haute 
couture salons, an exhibition 
space, three lush gardens,  
a pastry shop and a restaurant 
serving Monsieur Dior’s favorite 
dishes.

collection entitled “The Age of Indieness”, followed by concerts featuring Iggy Pop, The Strokes and Interpol. The collection continued Slimane’s tribute to 
the 2000s – a theme launched a few months earlier with the video of the Spring/Summer 2023 show – looking back at this pivotal period of his career, when 
he revolutionized the male silhouette and became the most iconic photographer and fashion designer of the indie rock scene in London, New York and Paris.

LOUIS VUITTON — Reviving the artistic exchange sparked by their first collaboration, Louis Vuitton and world-renowned 
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama have joined forces again, with their new collection of bold looks celebrated in a colorful advertising 
campaign starring international supermodels. The collection revisits the Maison’s iconic pieces with Kusama’s signature motifs, 
such as her famous painted dots, which infuse the Louis Vuitton universe in a fascinating creative dialogue with the timeless 
Monogram print. An innovative screen printing technique was used to reproduce the artist’s brushstrokes, and the resulting 3D 
hand-painted effect is strikingly realistic.

LOEWE — Loewe has joined forces once again with Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli. After Spirited Away and My Neighbor 
Totoro, the Maison’s Creative Director Jonathan Anderson has reaffirmed his fascination for the world of Hayao Miyazaki with  
a collection featuring bold, complex pieces inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle. The film’s main characters – including Sophie, Howl 
and Calcifer – enliven clothing and accessories. They are drawn as leather or shearling intarsia, turned into embroidery on leather  
or textile, and decorated with crystal and stud inlays on leather. They appear on bags – including the Puzzle, Flamenco, Hammock, 
Amazona, Luna, and Bracelet Pouch – on small leather goods, on jumpers, jackets, and shirts, with details such as appliqué, raffia  
or feathers making them stand out as if they were alive.

The fiber  
of the gods

LORO PIANA — The rarest and 
finest fiber in the world comes 
from the fleece of the vicuña,  
a small wild animal that lives  
in the Andes. Seen as a sacred 
creature by the Incas, the vicuña 
was once at risk of disappearing 
forever. Centuries of poaching 
decimated its population from  
3 million in pre-Columbian times 
to just 5,000 in 1960. This cousin 
of the alpaca, with its incredibly 
soft, golden fleece, was saved 
from extinction mainly thanks  
to conservation efforts made  
by Loro Piana in the 1990s. 
Leading an international 
consortium, the Maison built up 
a partnership with communities 
in the Andes and still today 
benefits from this special 
relationship in purchasing the 
fiber of vicuñas raised and shorn 
under conditions that respect 
animal well-being and ancestral 
traditions. In 2008, Loro Piana 
also created the Franco Loro Piana 
reserve, Peru’s first private nature 
reserve, spanning 2,500 hectares, 
and Peru’s vicuña population has 
now grown to over 500,000.

FENDI — Fendi feted its 
Baguette bag’s 25th anniversary 
with a special runway show  
at New York Fashion Week  
on September 9, 2022. The 
collection marks more than  
an anniversary – it is a tribute  
to the emblematic accessory 
and to New York, the city  
where the Baguette secured  
its place in pop culture history.
For the occasion, Kim Jones, 
Fendi’s Artistic Director of Couture 
and Womenswear, and Silvia 
Venturini Fendi, Artistic Director 
of Accessories and Menswear, 
joined forces with Marc Jacobs, 
Tiffany & Co., Sarah Jessica 
Parker, and Porter to celebrate 
the iconic bag together.
The new wardrobe offers myriad 
reinterpretations of the Baguette. 
In a play of different shapes  
and materials, each iteration of 
the Baguette is either functional 
or ornamental. It is featured  
on parkas, gaiters, gloves, hats, 
skirts, and sweaters, and there 
are also several brand-new 
versions of the bag itself.

Focusing on quality and
cultivating uniqueness

LVMH is a key player in the perfume, makeup and 

skincare sector, with a portfolio of world-famous 

Maisons as well as younger brands with a promis-

ing future. The creative momentum of LVMH’s 

Maisons is driven by growth in its iconic lines as well 

as bold new products. They are all driven by the 

same values: the pursuit of excellence, creativity, 

innovation and appeal and a highly selective distri-

bution policy.

Unique creative momentum
With strong growth in fragrances and the recovery 

in makeup, the global perfumes and cosmetics 

market is highly competitive, with increasingly 

compact innovation cycles. In this context, all of 

LVMH’s Maisons continue to pursue their objective 

of gaining market share, which depends more than 

ever before on quality, product performance and a 

robust innovation policy. In the heart of France’s 

Cosmetic Valley business cluster, researchers at 

LVMH’s Hélios R&D facility play a crucial role in 

helping the Maisons meet these requirements. The 

Maisons also uphold their commitment to biodiver-

sity and sustainable design.

Excellence and innovation in retailing
All the brands are accelerating the implementation 

of their online sales platforms and stepping up their 

digital content initiatives. Excellence in retailing is 

key. It requires expertise and attentiveness from 

beauty consultants, as well as innovation in sales, 

both in stores and online. Our brands are actively 

incorporating digital tools to enhance the customer 

experience and attract new consumers. The Group’s 

refusal to engage in excessive special offers and 

parallel sales helps ensure the powerful appeal of 

LVMH’s Maisons.

2023 OUTLOOK

While remaining vigilant, as called for by the 
uncertainty of the current environment, the 
Perfumes & Cosmetics Maisons will continue to 
invest selectively in their strengths: brand appeal, 
accelerated innovation and digital initiatives, and 
a selective approach to retail networks. Christian 
Dior, building on the brand’s excellent momen-
tum, has set ambitious leadership targets that 
will  draw  on  innovation  to  enrich  its  iconic 
lines, Sauvage, Miss Dior, Rouge Dior, J’adore, 
La Collection Privée, Capture and Prestige, in 
 particular. Reflecting its desire to connect more 
directly with its customers, the Maison will con-
tinue expanding its network of directly operated 
stores, while increasing the share of digital in its 
sales and marketing. Lastly, Dior will maintain its 
commitment to corporate social responsibility 
through its holistic “Beauty as a Legacy” program. 
Guerlain will see a flurry of exciting develop-
ments, with the reinvention of its star product, 
the Micro-Lift Concentrate version of Orchidée 
Impériale, and large-scale initiatives including a 
collaboration  with  the  prestigious  Maison 
Matisse, founded by the family of the renowned 
French painter, for the L’Art et la Matière collection, 
as well as the launch of a natural, no-transfer 
matte foundation in the iconic Terracotta range. 
Parfums Givenchy will launch a major initiative 
in men’s fragrances and move its skincare lines 
further upmarket. While implementing a plan 
focused on major innovations and boosting its 
flagship products, Maison Francis Kurkdjian will 
roll out the new store concept it revealed in 2022. 
Acqua di Parma will unveil an exceptional collab-
oration with designer Samuel Ross.

A new approach to fragrance

PARFUMS CHRISTIAN DIOR — In 2022, Dior unveiled J’adore Parfum d’Eau, a new fragrance made 
with an innovative, highly concentrated, water-based formula. A feat of perfumery, it has a floral bouquet 
that is fresh, immediate and distinctly natural. The new fragrance, a concentrate of water and flowers, 
reinvents the promise of pleasure encapsulated by J’adore since 1999. The pleasure of a revisited 
bouquet – neroli from Vallauris injects full freshness, while sunny notes of jasmine sambac blend with 
velvety notes of Chinese magnolia. The pleasure of a patented, alcohol-free, exclusive Dior formula 
that is as intense and long-lasting as an eau de parfum.

GUERLAIN — The Aqua

celebrates the wonders of the 
world. Each creation unbottles 
beautiful raw materials and 
unique notes – bright florals, 
vibrant citruses, and sunny fruits 
– masterfully enhanced by 
Guerlain’s perfumer-explorers. 
The new collection takes  
the Maison’s environmental 
commitment to another level, 
uniting luxury and sustainability 
in the name of nature and for  
the love of bees. Aqua Allegoria 
has been reinvented as an allegory 
of the Maison’s values of beauty 
and sustainable innovation. The 
collection continues to trailblaze 
with two revolutionary new 
features: a new formula made 
with organic alcohol and up  
to 95% natural ingredients, and  
a new eco-designed bottle that 
is unscrewable, refillable and 
recyclable, and made in France 
from recycled glass. To mark the 
launch, French environmentalist, 
photographer and filmmaker 
Yann Arthus-Bertrand created a 
video clip that reflects the values 
he shares with Guerlain.

Leaving beauty as a legacy

PARFUMS CHRISTIAN DIOR — At the very core of Parfums Christian Dior’s identity is Monsieur Dior’s boundless love of flowers. Flowers are the source of every 
fragrance, skincare and makeup product the Maison creates, and it endeavors to harness their power to regenerate biodiversity and take action to preserve and promote 
their vital role in ecosystems. Echoing this calling, Parfums Christian Dior presented its Beauty as a Legacy 2030 strategy: an action plan to improve the impact  
of its activities on biodiversity and local communities by 2030. The strategy is based on five key priorities: harnessing the potential of flowers to regenerate ecosystems 
and preserve biodiversity; responding to the climate emergency; defining the concept of “responsible beauty”; ramping up the Maison’s innovations in sustainable design; 
and promoting a more inclusive society. The Maison’s initiatives include aiming to have 100% of its gardens and partner gardens operated using organic or regenerative

MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN — Maison Francis Kurkdjian has become a patron of the Palace of Versailles and is funding the creation of a 
Perfumer’s Garden. The garden, located in the Châteauneuf Orangery on the Trianon estate, features hundreds of types of flowers and opens its doors 
to the public in spring 2023. It is the fruit of an exceptional partnership between the Trianon gardeners and Francis Kurkdjian – a bucolic promenade 
showcasing hundreds of historic plants, including some with surprising scents, like chocolate and apple, and even “mute” flowers like hyacinths, peonies 
and violets. Visitors can also learn all about the history of fragrance at the court of Versailles. The Palace of Versailles holds special significance  
for Francis Kurkdjian: just a few years after graduating from Versailles’ perfumery school, he recreated Marie-Antoinette’s fragrance, Sillage de la Reine, 
using historic archive documents and designed a range of scented features for the pools and fountains of the gardens of Versailles.

of the 
adventure

OFFICINE UNIVERSELLE 
BULY — In downtown Tokyo’s 
Marunouchi district, Officine 
Universelle Buly’s new shop  
has a retro-futuristic interior  
that reflects the brand identity 
crafted by Ramdane Touhami, 
the Maison’s founder and 
creative director. Contrasts are 
the rule: the ceiling’s brushed 
stainless-steel panels are slyly 
juxtaposed with the walls’  
ornate regency wood paneling, 
featuring shells and friezes 
sculpted by the Maison’s French 
master cabinetmaker. The sleek 
diagonal lines of the tilted display 
cabinets and long bench leading 
into the store inject an angular 
modernity that diverges from 
the Travertine tile floor and  
its specially designed round 
cabochons.
Symbolically, the dispensary’s 
imperial green walls are imbued 
with a patina that brings us back 
in time while inviting us to  
seize the moment – an apt way  
to celebrate the opening of  
the Maison’s 15th store in Japan.

2022

Creativity and
in-depth expertise

The LVMH Watches & Jewelry business group is 

one of the most dynamic players in its sector. It 

continues to gain market share with a successful 

strategy that is driven by jewelry Maisons that carry 

on exceptional creative legacies and expertise, and 

by leading watchmaking Maisons that are always on 

the cutting edge of innovation. 2021 saw the arrival 

of the prestigious American jewelry house Tiffany & 

Co., which has substantially bolstered the business 

group’s standing in a very dynamic, highly promis-

ing market segment.

Creativity, brand awareness  
and in-depth expertise
The growth of these Maisons is driven by their cre-

ativity. They enrich leading product ranges with 

well-established designs and identities, such as 

Tiffany’s Blue Book high jewelry collection, Bulgari’s 

iconic Serpenti range and TAG Heuer and Hublot’s 

famous Carrera and Big Bang lines. They continually 

explore new horizons with innovations combining 

audacity with excellence, as illustrated by TAG Heuer’s 

next-generation smartwatch. Harnessing expertise 

is a key priority, which the Maisons address by opti-

mizing their manufacturing processes, implementing 

synergies and boosting their production capacity. 

Developing brand awareness with target audiences 

and increasing their social media presence are also 

crucial to gaining new market share.

Quality and productivity in retailing
Lastly, the business group is focusing on the qual-

ity and productivity of its retail networks and on 

developing its online sales. Multi-brand retailers are 

selected with great care, making sure the most 

exacting standards are met. In an equally selective 

approach, the Maisons also continue to refurbish 

and open their own directly operated stores in 

buoyant markets in key cities.

2023 OUTLOOK

In 2023, the Watches & Jewelry business group 
will aim to continue gaining market share and 
boosting its production chains. Given the challenges 
that may arise in the months ahead, the Maisons 
will continue to manage costs and remain selective 
in their investments. They will continue to prioritize 
innovation, targeted expansion of their networks of 
directly operated stores and e-commerce, and their 
capacity to seize opportunities unlocked by their 
rapidly expanding digital presence. Their strategies 
will continue to focus on sustainability and respon-
sibility, particularly in terms of traceability for gems 
and precious metals. Tiffany will add new designs 
to its unisex Lock collection, which it will roll out to 
all its markets. The Maison will also ramp up the 
redesign of its retail network. One of the highlights 
of this program will be the reopening of its land-
mark New York flagship store following a four-year 
transformation, which will offer an unparalleled 
customer experience and a new vision of Tiffany. 
Bulgari will bolster its positions in high-end lines, 
celebrate the 75th anniversary of its iconic Serpenti 
collection and open two new hotels, including one 
in Rome. The Maison will start construction on its 
new jewelry manufacturing facility in Valenza, 
which, once completed, will double its production 
capacity at this site, where it has operated since 2017, 
creating 750 new jobs for jewelry artisans trained at 
its own academy. The site also aims to become the 
world’s first jewelry manufacturing facility powered 
entirely by renewable energy, 40% of which will be 
generated internally. Chaumet will continue expand-
ing and renovating its store network, and will launch 
a number of corporate giving initiatives, in particular 
its new Echo Culture Award, which will recognize 
women-led projects that promote access to culture 
for as many people as possible. TAG Heuer will cel-
ebrate the 60th anniversary of its Carrera collection 
and continue its slate of events relating to its smart-
watches and its partnership with Porsche. In 2023, 
Hublot will begin construction on its new manu-
facturing facility, built to the highest environmen-
tal standards, which will help accommodate the 
Maison’s growth.

 STORIES

Lock: The bonds that bring us together

TIFFANY & CO. — No rules. All welcome. The iconic new Tiffany Lock collection is a symbol  
of connection and togetherness. Its bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants in rose gold come in 
multiple colorways and introduce an innovative swiveling mechanism that echoes the functionality 
of a padlock – a hallmark motif from the Tiffany & Co. archives. The unique clasp on each Lock 
bracelet is a feat of Tiffany & Co. craftsmanship and was one year in the making. Supporting  
the worldwide launch, the Tiffany Lock campaign features superstar Rosé of the K-pop girl group 
Blackpink. The Maison’s ambassador wears sparkling diamond Lock bangles, which highlight  
the powerful style statement made by each design. Rosé embodies the modern “Tiffany woman” 
and brings an energy that matches the Tiffany Lock ethos. Rosé, and the male talent featured  
in the campaign, capture the inclusive spirit of Tiffany & Co.’s first all-gender jewelry collection.

TAG HEUER — TAG Heuer unveiled the new TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma, marking its entry into the world of lab-grown diamonds 
and the beginning of a new era for the luxury watchmaker, focused on avant-garde design, versatility and the aesthetic codes 
that make a watch absolutely unique. By adding the cutting-edge characteristics of lab-grown diamonds to its product universe, 
TAG Heuer opens up a whole new world of unbounded creativity and endless possibilities for diamond design. Equipped  
with the Heuer 02 Tourbillon Nanograph movement, the TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma’s case is set with Diamant d’Avant-Garde 
lab-grown diamonds, as well as embellished indexes. The shimmering polycrystalline diamond dial is just one of the exceptional 
features of this unique timepiece.

BULGARI— Bulgari’s latest high jewelry collection, Bulgari Eden: The Garden of Wonders, invites you to enter a wondrous world, 
featuring over 140 high jewelry pieces and exceptionally creative watch designs. One of its masterpieces, the Emerald Glory necklace, 
is adorned with the most exquisite natural treasures: a set of eleven magnificent pear-shaped emeralds from Colombia, patiently 
assembled by Bulgari’s gem hunters and weighing in at 42.02 carats. The collection’s Tribute to Paris necklace celebrates the City 
of Light with a spectacular 35.53-carat emerald set off by a distinctive Eiffel Tower motif. Celebrating the idea of metamorphosis, 
the Serpenti Ocean Treasure platinum and diamond necklace: two snakes fuse into one, featuring a twisting movement that holds

LVMH 2022  .  Watches & JewelryForce 10: 
Jewelry  
for every day 
and every 
whim

FRED — “One day, my eldest 
son had the fun idea of braiding 
sailing cables, fixed with rivets  
at either end, to make a bracelet 
for his wife. Then, for her birthday, 
he reimagined the same design 
but added a gold carabiner-
shaped clasp. To enhance its 
value, he added links all along 
the bracelet. That’s how the first 
piece in the Force 10 collection 
came into being in 1966.”  
The Force 10 bracelet epitomizes 
Fred Samuel’s and his family’s 
passion for the sea and sailing, 
and is now one of the Maison’s 
most iconic pieces. More than  
a jewel, it has become a symbol 
of courage, perseverance  
and self-confidence. By daring  
to engineer this unexpected 
combination of a braided steel 
sailing cable and a gold buckle – 
two materials that until then 
were considered polar opposites 
– Fred made its mark on the 
history of jewelry. This strikingly 
avant-garde bracelet has since 
inspired a collection that is both 
casual and precious.

CHAUMET — During the summer of 2022, Chaumet’s Botanical – Observing Beauty exhibition connected its own exceptional 
jewelry creations and botanical perspective with all forms of art. It immersed visitors in the story of how plants have inspired art  
for over 7,000 years, celebrating nature in art with close to 400 works – graphic art, paintings, sculptures, textiles and furniture,  
as well as some one hundred jewelry pieces by Chaumet and other designers. Works by scientists, botanists and artists revealed  
the extraordinary beauty of plants – a central theme of Chaumet’s designs throughout its history. Against the exceptional backdrop 
of the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Paris, the exhibition showcased the Maison’s fine craftsmanship in jewelry design and contextualized 
it within art history as a whole.

2023 OUTLOOK

Offering customers the best shopping experience 
possible across all distribution channels remains 
the goal shared by all the Maisons. In an uncertain 
and volatile global environment, Sephora is opti-
mistic but cautious for 2023, and will clearly focus 
on differentiating further and continuing to build 
“the world’s  most  loved  beauty  community”. 
Sephora will continue to develop its omnichannel 
capabilities and will open over 100 new points of 
sale to win in its key markets of the United States, 
Canada,  the  Middle  East,  France  and  China. 
Sephora will continue to drive preference through 
product differentiation, with its carefully selected 
assortment of brands and products tailored to 
each unique customer profile, all while pursuing 
the Diversity & Inclusion initiatives that bring 
Sephora’s purpose to life. DFS should benefit from 
the upturn in business and the return of travelers 
to Hong Kong and Macao. Operations will begin at 
China’s Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport 
in the first quarter, and its new T Galleria store is 
set to open in Brisbane, Australia towards the end 
of the year. The Maison will also continue to focus 
on opportunities to grow and diversify its cus-
tomer  base.  Le  Bon  Marché will  continue  to 
enhance the quality of its exclusive selection and 
its customer experience, while capitalizing on its 
innovative approach and unique cultural dimen-
sion. The highlight of the beginning of the year will 
be the Sangam exhibition by artist Subodh Gupta. 
In light of the success of the immersive theater 
experience that debuted in 2022, further perfor-
mances will be held in March and April 2023.

With locations all around the world, our Selective 

Retailing Maisons make sure that customers are the 

number-one priority for their strategies and their 

staff. Sephora, DFS and Le Bon Marché are all pio-

neers in their fields and continue to innovate and 

imagine the shopping experience of the future for 

their customers.

An increasingly innovative 
and personalized experience
For over half a century, Sephora has been revolu-

tionizing the beauty industry, elevating the shopping 

experience into a moment of pure pleasure and 

freedom, developing new in-store services and 

hunting out rare finds to add to its unique range 

of brands and products. Combining the best of 

in-store and online shopping, Sephora’s omnichan-

nel beauty experience offers an interactive, person-

alized, seamless customer journey. Le Bon Marché 

is a department store like no other: striking archi-

tecture enhanced by tasteful updates; an exclusive, 

elegant selection of products; and an expansive 

program of exhibitions all make Le Bon Marché 

truly unique and a treasure trove for both local and 

international customers. Our 24S digital platform, 

which was launched in 2017, also reflects this quest 

for excellence and aims to offer a whole new online 

shopping experience.

Staying particularly agile
DFS – which has been pioneering travel retail since 

the early days of the air travel boom – constantly 

updates its boutiques and its T Galleria luxury 

department stores to continually enhance the trav-

eler’s experience. In addition to its major presence 

in Asia and in the United States, DFS has started to 

expand its geographic coverage, opening its first 

European location in Venice in 2016, followed by 

Paris in 2021. DFS will continue its expansion in 

Asia, prioritizing recovery in flagship destinations 

Hong Kong and Macao.

An immersive theater experience

LE BON MARCHÉ — The history of Paris’ most famous department store is inextricably linked  
to Émile Zola’s masterpiece Au Bonheur des Dames (The Ladies’ Paradise), which was modeled  
on Le Bon Marché. To celebrate its 170th anniversary, Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche invited theater 
lovers to a first-of-its-kind immersive experience inspired by Zola’s characters. From September 2022 
to April 2023, after closing time, Le Bon Marché raised the curtain and invited visitors in for a brand-
new adventure. For two hours, spectators could follow in Émile Zola’s footsteps with an immersive 
play that was a far cry from traditional theater. With the actual store founded by Aristide and 
Marguerite Boucicaut as their stage, the thirty characters in Au Bonheur des Dames came to life  
in a memorable performance. The audience followed them through the store on an imaginary 
journey back in time and also tried to solve an enigma.

LA SAMARITAINE — La Samaritaine was already alive with the spirit of Christmas on November 8! As night fell, stars lit up the store’s windows – and the faces  
of prestigious guests invited to kick off the festive season. On a pop-up stage, dancers put on glittering performances in a show all about reverie and movement. 
Highlights included a classical ballet routine – grace and elegance epitomized – by Paris Opera Ballet dancers Letizia Galloni and étoile (principal dancer)  
Germain Louvet; an infectiously upbeat samba and pop display by young dancers from the Sabrina Lonis school of dance; and a riveting voguing performance.  
For just one evening, La Samaritaine aligned the stars – Christmas twinkles and dance celebrities – to produce the most dazzling show in Paris.

 STORIES

Plénitude, Absolues and Michelin stars

CHEVAL BLANC — Inside the historic Samaritaine building, at the Cheval Blanc Paris restaurant Plénitude, chef 
Arnaud Donckele’s cuisine is an ode to the senses, and especially scent, taking what some might call a master 
perfumer’s approach to cooking. Here, in this intimate setting where time stands still, he celebrates sauces – usually 
relegated to the background – elevating them to an art form and giving them the starring role. He calls them his 
“Absolues”, and they blossom like bouquets. Fantastic in their complexity, his precious elixirs have head, heart  
and base notes and up to twelve ingredients – no blind taster would ever find them all. They are an experience  
that must be lived to the full and savored in the chef’s quintessential jus, consommés, velours, veloutés and soups. 
Sauces are the backbone of Arnaud Donckele’s Parisian cuisine and have now earned him the highest distinction  
for the second time: already a three-starred chef at the Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez restaurant, Donckele was awarded 
another three Michelin stars for Plénitude as soon as it opened.

Their works of art, respectively 
Cooking, Viewing, Loving, and

CAC 40 rebased

Trading volume (right-hand scale)

In 2022, after the first week of January, when the CAC 40 reached an all-time record high, stock markets had a particularly 
volatile year, marked by the war in Ukraine and its repercussions on the global economy, which led to both shortages and 
surging inflation fueled by the energy crisis.
Faced with these headwinds, central banks took decisive action, launching an unprecedented series of interest rate hikes 
after nearly ten years of falling rates. In this more challenging environment, which was also weighed down by extended 
lockdowns in China as well as political and economic uncertainty in the United Kingdom, stock markets nevertheless saw  
a slight upturn in the second half of the year.
The CAC 40 and Euro Stoxx 50 indices finished 2022 down 9.5% and 11.7%, respectively, dropping less than US growth 
stocks, with the Nasdaq plunging 33%. The geopolitical and macroeconomic context also weighed on the performance 
of luxury stocks. The LVMH share saw a rebound in the fall, recouping part of its full-year drop and allowing it to finish 
off the year down 6.5%, at €679.90. LVMH’s market capitalization was €342 billion as of December 31, 2022, making  
the Group the most valuable company in Europe.
