Behind the Gucci-centric headlines that greet every quarter of impressive growth at Kering, there is another brand that is fueling the French luxury group Saint Laurent because of a reboot of its women\u2019s wear offer under chief executive officer Francesca Bellettini and creative director Anthony Vaccarello.<\/p>\n
