Like UNIQLO, The First Woman President In The History Of Paris L'OREAL Appointments.

L Or Or Al, France's beauty make-up giant, has officially announced that its Delphine Viguier-Hovasse, the global brand president of the beauty and skincare brand Garnier (Garnier), will replace Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou to become the president of the group's flagship beauty skin care brand L "Or al Al" (Paris L'OREAL), and she is also the first woman president in the history of the brand.

Coincidentally, just a few days ago, Fast Retailing, Japan's fast fashion giant Uniqlo (UNIQLO) parent company, also announced the appointment of Akai Tamaki, the senior vice president of the group (Maki Akaida), as the CEO of UNIQLO Japan, the first female CEO in UNIQLO history. (see "ornate ambition": UNIQLO has the first female CEO in history, aiming to increase the proportion of female executives from 36% to 50%).

This may mean that the weight of women leaders is rising steadily in the global fashion industry.

In 1972, Delphine Viguier-Hovasse was born in Perpignan, France. In 2004, she joined L'OREAL group and became Vice President of L 'Oreal Paris marketing department. In 2009, she became the general manager of LASCAD, L'OREAL's French subsidiary. In May 2014, she was appointed general manager of L'OREAL group's French skin care brand Carita and Decl e or. In November of that year, Delphine Viguier-Hovasse began to serve as the president of Garnier global brand.

After taking office, Delphine Viguier-Hovasse will report to Alexis Perakis-Valat, President of L'OREAL consumer products division. Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou has joined the French luxury goods giant LVMH flagship brand Louis Vuitton (Louis Weedon), mainly responsible for the development strategy of fashion and leather goods sector.

Previously, L'OREAL group's high-end luxury brands maintained excellent performance, but the growth of the mass consumer goods sector has been weak. The group hopes that Delphine Viguier-Hovasse's taking office will speed up the growth of L 'Or al Paris' business.

In April this year, Jean-Paul Agon, chief executive of L'OREAL group, said that although the US market continued to slump, the rise of niche brands also had a certain impact on the mass consumer goods sector. However, the growth of L 'Or al Paris business has always been higher than that of the overall beauty market. Lower consumption tax rates and rising gasoline prices will make business in the US market "more difficult" and put pressure on the mass consumer goods sector. But the group has introduced a series of measures to deal with it, which is expected to reverse the decline of the consumer goods sector this year.
