Luxury group Kering announced on Monday that it wanted to propose the appointment of three new independent directors to its board of directors. Chinese businesswoman Rachel Duan, former Italian Minister of Culture Giovanna Melandri and the president of Eutelsat Communications Dominique D’Hinnin will be appointed.

The term of actress and activist Emma Watson, star of Harry Potter, was also coming to an end. The luxury market has suffered in recent months from a disappointing recovery in consumption in China.
