Bonjout Beauty Bringing French Pharmacy-inspired Skin Care to U.S.
A latest launch is seeking to capitalize on two big trends: quiet luxury and French pharmacy. “I wish to say Le Balm is sort of the ‘quiet luxury’ of the sweetness world,” said Dr. Natacha Bonjout, a French pharmacist-turned-skin care founder whose namesake brand launched last month with one product: Le Balm.

Combining Pride Month with kids going off to summer camp, Alice + Olivia created bunk bed cabins; a camp canteen stuffed with Nilla wafers, Lays potato chips, T-shirts, hoodies and Barnum’s animal crackers; an oversize canoe crammed with flowers, and camp-themed activations akin to friendship bracelet making, tetherball and cornhole. And, what you’d probably never find at a good summer camp, bars that looked like camp lifeguard stations, serving Astral Tequila cocktails.
