This younger generation doesn’t mind paying a little more for good quality but they want reliable and popular brands that have been recognized in the beauty community. They want good coverage but it matters to them that these brands don’t just want their money, but actually care about their customers and the world. This includes being inclusive of all kinds of people and cruelty-free to animals. This helps customers feel beautiful both inside and out. Because of their busy schedules, the target consumers are also looking for a foundation that is fast and easy to apply and will last throughout the day. D E C I S I O И M A K I И G ● Drivers: ○ Good online reviews by other customers, beauty gurus and magazines (search) ○ Effective ads (need recognition) ○ Satisfying results (post evaluation) ● Concerns: ○ No shade will match their skin tone (purchase) ○ Shade that matches skin tone is sold out or discontinued (purchase) ○ Price is not worth the utilities (purchase) ○ Have to travel far to get to store ○ Takes too long to receive online orders P H Y S I C A L V E И U E S ● Pros: ○ Customers can test products and find perfect match right there and then ○ Salespeople can guide selection and provide positive human interaction and gain trust ○ In-store promotions and discounts can attract customers that weren’t considering before ● Cons: ○ Traveling is inconvenient and time consuming ○ Customers can’t find product (maybe sold out) ○ Customers can’t get to store during open hours ○ Customers are confronted with other options and have to stop and reevaluate D I G I T A L V E И U E S ● Pros: ○ Can reach a bigger and wider audience ○ Quick and convenient to buy off website ○ Can get notifications when products are on sale or there’s a promotion going on ● Cons: ○ Don’t know for sure which shade is a match ○ Many distractions and other ads online ● Keywords: ○ “Makeup for dark skin” (or albinos) ○ “Popular/good foundations” ○ “Foundations for combination skin types” ○ “Foundation with lots of shades” I И S T A G R A M ● Pros: ○ Reaches big audience and is especially effective in reaching younger generation ○ Rihanna can use her personal account to promote the company and products ○ Real reviews from real customers in comments can encourage others to buy the product or help identify problems with the product ● Cons: ○ Hate comments and hackers ○ Have to continuously create engaging posts ○ Insensitive posts can lead to backlash and bad press - hard to take back B E A U T Y F O R A L L S U C C E S S This product is successful in attracting the younger generation of consumers (Gen Y and Gen Z) with its ads and social media posts that display young, beautiful women of all skin tones. The physical product has a clean and timeless look that allows these consumers to feel mature and sophisticated beyond their chronological age. “Shake Well” is the only instruction. This is effective because it is most likely the only step that consumers didn’t know they had to do. Any other instructions like “pump on hand” and “apply to face” are intuitive and would only crowd the bottle and packaging. Physical venues are successful for gaining new buyers that weren’t actively looking for the foundation previously. Salespeople are better at gaining trust of consumers and in store discounts attract consumers looking to get a deal. C H A N G E S ● Place text on bottom of bottle on a white sticker to provide better contrast ● More physical stores ○ But this might be difficult due to the bountiful number of shades and exclusive agreements ● Make packaging more attention-grabbing ○ White matches the clean theme better than black ○ Brand should be much bigger and take up more space on box ○ Add a “call to action” to encourage consumers ○ Add a QR code on packaging that can lead to consumers buying more Fenty products or to learn more about product C O L L E C T I N G D A T A ● Observe potential buyers at the physical makeup stores ● Interview consumers on their shopping experience and the decision making behind their choices that can help guide store layout ● Interview teenagers on their opinions on the ads by Fenty to more accurately target that segmentation ● Analyze online reviews on FentyBeauty.com and Sephora.com to identify common problems and how they could make the product better A D E L A I D E Adelaide is a 20 year old college student. She loves makeup and experimenting with different products and colors but always struggled with finding a foundation that matched her dark complexion. She noticed the Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation while scrolling through Instagram when she saw an ad with a girl of color (that looked like her!) holding a foundation bottle. She clicked on the ad and was brought to the Fenty website (and look, it’s Rihanna!). Of the 50 shades available, she saw a few that were potential matches. Adelaide texts her friends to ask if they’ve heard of Fenty Beauty and what their experiences have been. She also sees the many positive reviews online. The foundation is not cheap but she decides to try it out because there are no other foundation shades as dark as Fenty’s. Maybe this will be her match. (Finally!) S O P H I A Sophia is a 25-year-old consultant. Previously, she didn’t wear makeup but she has decided that makeup is necessary to cover her acne scars and eye bags for her clients. She drives to the closest Sephora and is greeted by a friendly saleswoman. She asks to see the most popular foundation and is quickly brought to the Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundations. Talking and laughing with the saleswoman, Sophia begins to trust her and lets her pick out a shade for her. She is impressed by the coverage and the color match and decides to buy the foundation. Her other skin care products are just as expensive so she doesn’t flinch at the price.

The appellants (collectively “Topshop”) own and operate the well known Topshop retail fashion stores. In 2012 Topshop began to sell in its stores and through its website a fashion t-shirt displaying a clearly recognisable image of Rihanna. The image was derived from a photograph of Rihanna which was taken when she was on a video shoot for a single from her “Talk That Talk” album. Rihanna is looking directly at the camera with her hair tied above her head with a headscarf. It is, as the judge thought, a striking image and similar images had been used by Rihanna in connection with the Talk That Talk album.

  • Savage X Fenty, Rihanna's Disruptive Lingerie Brand, Secures $115 Million in Series B Funding Led by L Catterton's Growth Fu
    SAVAGE X FENTY, RIHANNA’S DISRUPTIVE LINGERIE BRAND, SECURES $115 MILLION IN SERIES B FUNDING LED BY L CATTERTON’S GROWTH FUND Investment Round Will Accelerate Next Phase of Growth and Expansion into Retail EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Feb. 10, 2021 – Savage X Fenty (the “Company”) today announced that it has completed a $115 million Series B fundraising round to support the Company’s rapid growth and upcoming expansion into retail. The heavily oversubscribed round was led by the Growth Fund of L Catterton, the largest global consumer-focused private equity firm, with significant participation from existing investors such as Marcy Venture Partners and Avenir, along with a number of new investors, including Sunley House Capital, Advent International’s crossover fund. Savage X Fenty was launched in 2018 by Rihanna to celebrate fearless individuality and broaden the definition of what is beautiful. The Series B financing follows an exceptional year for Savage X Fenty in which it experienced explosive revenue growth of over 200 percent, while increasing its active VIP member base by over 150 percent. With the Series B funding, the Company plans to further invest behind customer acquisition and expand into retail. “Lingerie is about celebrating your body and that’s what Savage is all about,” explained Rihanna. “Savage to me is such a powerful word. It’s about being confident, in charge, and taking ownership of our choices. This brand is a home, a hub and a safe space for everyone – regardless of shape, size, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation. It is a representation of all and a validation that everyone is beautiful no matter what.” “As we continue to grow the brand at a remarkable pace, it is imperative that we move forward with partners who not only have a deep understanding of our business and customer base, but share our ambitious vision for Savage X Fenty and have the operational know-how to work with us to achieve it,” said Natalie Guzman and Christiane Pendarvis, Co-Presidents of Savage X Fenty.

  • LVMH Files Countersuit Against Tiffany the Conditions to Close the Acquisition Are Not Met
    LVMH files countersuit against Tiffany The conditions to close the acquisition are not met September 29th, 2020 LVMH filed yesterday its countersuit against Tiffany in Delaware Chancery Court. LVMH continues to have full confidence in its position that the conditions necessary to close the acquisition of Tiffany have not been met and that the spurious arguments put forward by Tiffany are completely unfounded. LVMH’s filing details the Company’s position on these matters and, among other things, outlines: • A Material Adverse Effect has occurred. The notable absence of a pandemic carveout in the definition of a Material Adverse Effect in the Tiffany Merger Agreement is clear. It was common before COVID-19 for transactions to contain a pandemic carveout. In the course of the negotiation, Tiffany sought and received carveouts for highly specific events, such as “cyberattacks”, the “Yellow Vest” movement and the “Hong-Kong Protests”. Yet Tiffany did not obtain a carveout for public health crises or pandemics. In contrast, hundreds of other merger agreements executed in the decade preceding the Merger Agreement contained express pandemic or epidemic carveouts. The pandemic, whose effects are devastating and lasting on Tiffany, has irrefutably caused a Material Adverse Effect. This clause alone would be enough to prevent the closing, but there are other arguments included below that reinforce LVMH’s position. • Tiffany breached its covenants to operate in the Ordinary Course of Business and to preserve its business organizations substantially intact. Tiffany’s mismanagement of its business constitutes a blatant breach of its obligation to operate in the ordinary course. For instance, Tiffany paid the highest possible dividends while the company was burning cash and reporting losses.

  • Philip Martin Gallery 2712 S. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA
    Philip Martin Gallery 2712 S. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90034 philipmartingallery.com 310 559 0100 Philip Martin Gallery Rihanna is ready. First she moved our interview from Thursday to Wednesday. Then from evening to afternoon. When I get word of this latest change, on a slick and humid August day in Los Angeles, I have just enough time to shower and get to the Hotel Bel-Air. Waiting for Rihanna is practically a journalistic genre all its own. That the Barbadian superstar is now running ahead of schedule seems evidence of her new life as global fashion mogul. Only three and a half years have passed since she presented her first Fenty x Puma collection at New York Fashion Week, a vision of gothleisure delivered to a clamoring world (“if the Addams Family went to the gym” was how she put it). At the time, design was something she was trying on; over the following year, Puma’s profits rose by 92 percent. Since then the 31-year-old has done nothing less than upend the beauty and lingerie industries. In 2017 Fenty Beauty introduced 40 shades of foundation in a business where a dozen was the norm—making a reported $100 million in the first 40 days and nearly $600 million in the first year. Dior, CoverGirl, and Revlon quickly followed, establishing a 40-shade standard now known as “the Fenty effect.” (Rihanna upped the ante again this summer with a hydrating foundation in 50 shades, writing on Instagram, “When the foundation takeova ain’t ova!”) In 2018 she unveiled Savage X Fenty, an intimates line available in many sizes and shades of “nude.” (The brand just secured a reported $50 million in new funding.) Now Rihanna is reimagining fashion at the highest levels.
