There’s no one thing that makes a brand or product a hit, but Carolyn Bojanowski said a key throughline in many of SEPHORA’s top performers is a strong brand founder. And Sephora is looking to incubate future generations of founder-led brands through its Accelerate program. “The idea behind it is, sort of: How do you get into the Sephora ecosystem with a little bit more support? And we actually pivoted the [Accelerate] program to be brand founder-led only about five years ago,” she said. “We literally do a curriculum. It’s everything from branding to how do you hook into Sephora’s EDI system, like the non-sexy operation stuff.”

Burberry’s new strategy, “Burberry Forward,” revealed by CEO Joshua Schulman on November 14, is a return to the brand’s roots after recent years of testing new directions and losing revenue. Schulman took the helm of the company in July after working for Coach. Schulman’s approach aims to reconnect the brand to its origins while adapting to a new luxury landscape. The new plan is a bold attempt to correct years of underperformance, with the latest figures showing a 20% year-over-year drop in comparable store sales and an adjusted operating loss of £41 million ($52 million) for the first half of fiscal year 2025. In this piece by Zofia Zwieglinska, we speak to Ana Andjelic.

Tapestry’s attempt to acquire Capri Holdings Limited is officially dead. Tapestry, which owns Coach, kate spade new york and Stuart Weitzman, announced its intention to acquire Capri, the owner of brands like Michael Kors, Versace and Jimmy Choo, in August of last year. But a legal challenge from the FTC, led by chair Lina Khan, put up barriers to the acquisition. This month, the acquisition was officially blocked according to a court ruling, and on Thursday, Tapestry formally announced the termination of the deal. Announced alongside the end of the deal is a $2 billion share repurchase program financed by a combination of cash on hand and future debt. In this piece by Danny Parisi, we speak to Brian Yarbrough of Edward Jones.
