As a preferred footwear brand, Nike represents 52% of teen preference gaining a substantial 1,000 bps share. Nike ranks as the top trend for teens with popular responses including AirForce 1s & Jordans. It is the No. 1 preferred athletic apparel & footwear brand among upper-income teens at 60% and 74% share, respectively. LULU (+) BRAND HITS NEW SURVEY PEAK AS NO. 6 PREFERRED APPAREL BRAND lululemon is the No. 6 preferred apparel brand in our survey—moving up from No. 7 in Fall 2019. Among all females, it ranked No. 4 vs. No. 6 last year. Among upper-income females, it ranks No. 2 (behind AE) reaching 10% share. It ranked No. 8 among upper-income males vs. No. 9 last year. Leggings/lululemon are the No. 1 trend for females in school and lululemon is the No. 2 athletic apparel brand behind Nike—gaining 300 bps share Y/Y. ELF (+) REGISTERS ALL TIME HIGH IN SURVEY e.l.f. is the No. 2 preferred makeup brand for all teens—up from No. 4 last year and marks its highest ranking to-date in our survey. We believe this has been fueled by the significant success the brand has had on TikTok. While not in the top-ten, it ranks No. 17 as a preferred skincare brand (vs. 16 last year); we note skincare is only 9% of tracked channel sales but 25% of dot com sales (as of Q1). We are pleased to see its core channels (ULTA, TGT, WMT & AMZN) all in the top-five preferred beauty shopping destinations. ULTA (+/=) NO. 1 PREFERRED BEAUTY DESTINATION STRENGTHENS LEAD VS. SEPHORA ULTA continues to be in the best position to gain market share as we progress through the pandemic. It is the No. 1 beauty destination among teens at 42% share—up 400 bps from last year. Relative to No. 2 Sephora, it strengthened its lead, now 22 percentage points ahead vs. 15 percentage points last year. It took lead over Sephora among upper-income teens as well for the first time in our survey history. 86% of teens still prefer stores for beauty.

  • They, Them, and Theirs*
    ARTICLE AWARDS WINNERS They, Them, and Theirs* JESSICA A. CLARKE** Abstract Nonbinary gender identities have quickly gone from obscurity to prominence in American public life, with growing acceptance of gen- der-neutral pronouns, such as “they, them, and theirs,” and recognition of a third-gender category by U.S. states including California, Colorado, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington. People with nonbinary gender identities do not exclusively identify as men or women. Femi- nist legal reformers have long argued that discrimination on the basis of gender nonconformity—in other words, discrimination against men per- ceived as feminine or women perceived as masculine—is a harmful type of sex discrimination that the law should redress. But the idea of nonbi- nary gender as an identity itself appears only at the margins of U.S. legal scholarship. Many of the cases recognizing transgender rights involve plaintiffs who identify as men or women, rather than plaintiffs who seek * Originally published in the Harvard Law Review.

  • Russia Military Strategy
    Cover The cover illustration highlights the words Russia and military strategy. The General Staff and the Academy of Military Science continue to keep strategic thought in sync with future war scenarios and high-tech developments, such as hypersonic missiles. The subtitle informs that military reform is designed to incorporate new weaponry and organizational shifts into the force. The objects clutched by the double-headed eagle signify Russia’s reform progress from the era of Kalashnikov rifles to the era of digital input guaranteeing the “informationization” of military equipment. Geopolitical initiatives ensure that Russia looks out for its strategic interests.
