Latest Business Models Cause Industry-wide Shift

17 Apr

There may be barely time for planning at nine-month-old fast-beauty start-up Be for Beauty. The business, which has already attracted major backing from Unilever Ventures (sources said it owns 25 percent), is plotting to launch 25 brands over the subsequent three years.

Layoffs have ensued at Glossier because it refocuses its distribution strategy.

PARIS — With Pharrell Williams’ celebrity extravaganza at Louis Vuitton, the Fête de la Musique and the Pride parade, Paris was in feel-good mode through the recent men’s collections and the trade shows were no exception, with buyers and types largely upbeat for spring 2024. Tranoï took place on the Gaïté Lyrique, a former concert hall on the sting of the Marais that just reopened as a cultural center aiming to bridge creative industries, where the trade show has signed for 3 seasons through 2024, when pressure on venues can be particularly tight because of the Paris Olympics.
