Ewha Womans University held an honorary doctorate in business administration degree award ceremony for CEO Arno at Ewha Womans University Music Hall Kim Young-ui Hall this morning.

CEO Arnault said, “I am very honored to receive this meaningful honor from Ewha Womans University,” and added, “Korea has been a very important market for Dior for a long time and continues to be an important market today.”
