Mecca’s Jo Horgan Looks Beyond ANZ for Growth

30 Jan

Jo Horgan has spent the last 25 years constructing the business she founded, Mecca, into Australia’s largest prestige beauty retailer. But as she notches greater than 20 years of growth and success, Horgan has no real interest in taking a victory lap. As a substitute, she’s using the chance to set an enormous, daring goal — or BHAG (big hairy audacious goal) as she would say — for the following 25 years: global domination. “We wish to be the world’s most loved beauty destination,” said Horgan, during a wide-ranging interview with Beauty Inc. “We’ve learned during the last 25 years that in case your customers absolutely love what you do and the way you make them feel and look, and so they wish...

Ashley Armitage responds to body hair trolls

Mr. Know-It-All: John Waters on beauty

by Beauty Tips

Beauty, Featured

John Waters is the best. His killer movies like Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, and Cecil B. Demented will teach you all the things you could find out about art, American insanity, and the special joy that comes with revelling in your individual freakishness. He shares yet more wisdom as a filth elder in his latest book, Mr. Know-It-All, which might be the best of all his literary works (sorry, Art: A Sex Book), and never simply because it includes his ode to the long-shuttered NYC sex club, Night Shift (a fake park overrun with zonked-out tramps), that photo of him with Justin Bieber, or the story of how he tripped on LSD last summer, aged seventy-two, together with his old pal...
