William Blair A Word on Lifestyle In this first Issue of William Blair’s dedicated coverage of the Global Apparel and Lifestyle Accessories Sector, we provide an overview of market activity and valuation data across the worldwide sector leaders. We have classified the public comparable companies into seven major groups: Global Leaders, Modern Lifestyle, Performance Apparel, Traditional Apparel and Accessories, Youth/Teen, and eCommerce. In addition to the established sector leaders, we will also focus on the cohort of rapidly emerging next- generation global brands, who are going public earlier and getting funded in the private markets today. Our consumption choices, particularly in apparel and accessories, have long communicated our personal affiliations and aspirations. Today, the consumption experience extends beyond the moment of purchase, often selling an experience, or communicating a value set. This has broadened the remit for brands, invoking themes of greater social responsibility, seen by the growing prevalence of B Corps, and community, including content-driven websites and entertainment-driven retail venues. These changing consumer values have given rise to new sector leaders, including emergent brands Bonobos and Harrys of London, lifestyle visionaries like Hunter Original, new marketplaces such as Gilt Groupe, and Vide Dressing, and radical new models such as Warby Parker. In turn, M&A activity is driven by buyers keeping pace with these shortening cycles of innovation. Examples of such activity includes the acquisition of Trunk Club by Nordstrom, and announced acquisition of Mytheresa.com by Neiman Marcus. Lifestyle-driven consumption is an increasingly prevalent concept, making it a rare moment in time for valuations in this exciting space. We look forward to exploring the sector with you.
