Why do we go to trade shows? My thoughts after Pitti Uomo: I think what people are coming for is the luxury of the physical encounter. The chance meetings at the fair, the endless inspiration of a beautiful city, the camaraderie of the menswear community. I hear brands talk about not needing the business so much as the PR opportunity and brand value of a good trade show location. For some retailers, it’s not so much a buying event as a way to treat key employees with a boost of inspiration and free dinners courtesy of their clients. For the show itself, the a need to lean into soft values like the enabling of social meetings, industry insights (and gossip), as well as high-profile fashion experiences.

Who is working with whom in the beauty licensing space? The attached image shows the licensing relationships between the biggest brands groups (in black) and the main beauty partners (in blue) they work with. The most interconnected beauty partners are Coty and Interparfums with six and five different relationships respectively. This does not mean that the other beaty partners have less licensees but many of them are either with single-brand companies or with smaller brands groups. On the other hand, we see Kering still depending on four different beauty partners despite having opened up an internal beauty division in 2023. We do expect this picture to change for both Kering and Richemont in the near future though (not necessarily for LVMH). Once we add the single-brand companies and smaller beauty partners this picture gets even more complicated and especially fluid over time. #brandlicensing #beautylicense #beautyindustry #beauty #beautycompanies Give Back Beauty PARLUX LTD.

Would you confuse the trade mark NKD with a NAKED range of L'Oreal products? A Salon in Leicester is in a trade mark dispute with L'Oreal over the registration of NKD. She had registered the mark in 2009, but it expired after 10 years and was not renewed in time. It highlights the importance of trade mark portfolio management, even for small businesses with a limited number of marks. Looking after renewals and having watch notices in place can save a lot of financial pain (reportedly £30,000 in this case). https://lnkd.in/eGnJnBcy #IP #Intellectualproperty #trademarks #brands Brandsmiths
