The Business of Fashion
Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
People have been using beauty products since the dawn of civilisation, and yet the beauty industry has seen more flux in the last five years than ever before. Legacy conglomerates, like Revlon, have been challenged by indie disruptors like Milani and Bubble. The swath of strategic buyers has widened from core stakeholders like L’Oréal, Unilever and The Estée Lauder Companies to traditional consumer goods businesses like Church & Dwight and family investment vehicles such as Famille C. Celebrities and influencers are clamouring to leverage their followings and build their own beauty businesses.
To examine these changes, we created The Business of Beauty, bringing the same kind of agenda-setting coverage that has made BoF the most essential and trusted voice in the global fashion industry to the beauty and wellness space.
Today, we are doubling down on that commitment. We believe that the beauty industry needs a modern, globally-minded B2B publication that does more than simply cover the news, offering in-depth analysis and consultative-style advice to beauty and wellness professionals around the world..
To lead this initiative, we have tapped veteran beauty journalist Priya Rao as Executive Editor. In the coming months, working closely with our beauty editor-at large-Rachel Strugatz, Priya will develop an expanded offering of must-read news, analytical features, proprietary research and events all focused on the beauty space:
