Édgar Ramirez, Sebastian Stan and the Great Tank Debate

It’s hot, and I’ve got a bit tank top on and I’m feeling good,” said “Dr. Who” star Ncuti Gatwa of hitting up Jonathan Anderson’s latest collection. Édgar Ramirez was within the pro-tank top category, sporting a fitted black Loewe-logoed version while chatting with Sebastian Stan. The latter was firmly within the “no tank” category, shrugging on the lightweight overshirt that kept his arms demurely covered. “No tank tops for me,” he exclaimed, shooting off finger guns to emphasise his point. Brian Cox answered in his own, understated way. “I’m wearing...

The ‘Shark Tank’ Effect on Beauty – WWD

The ‘Shark Tank’ Effect on Beauty – WWD
“Shark Tank” is on a beauty streak. In its first decade on air, the wonder brands that went on “Shark Tank” to pitch were homegrown mom-and-pop corporations.

Closing The Deal: These Are The Most Successful Black Shark

Closing The Deal: These Are The Most Successful Black Shark
Black founders raised only one.3% of 2021’s $330 billion value of U.S. enterprise investment. That is shocking, especially since African American women are the leading group of recent entrepreneurs either launching or running businesses. The number of companies owned by Black women jumped 50% from 2014 to 2019, representing the very best growth rate of another demographic. Despite these impressive figures, Black business owners are still at the underside rung of the VC investment hierarchy. That’s why shows like Shark Tan are so vital. The ABC hit business series offers up-an-coming founders the chance to pitch in front of seasoned entrepreneurs and investors (Mark Cuban, Daymond John and Barbara Corcoran) to secure funding for his or her brands.
