Marc Jacobs

Executives and creative leaders from brands including Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Tory Burch, Tom Ford, J. Crew, Noah and Canada Goose, among others, joined BoF President, Nick Blunden, and Lyst CEO, Emma McFerran, for a dinner in New York City.

In BoF’s latest white paper, in partnership with TikTok, brand and marketing executives, independent analysts and TikTok business leaders share their insights on the best practices to acquire and engage audiences by honing platform-relevant brand, product and paid marketing strategies, with examples from Coach, E.l.f.

Coty is preparing to relaunch the designer’s cosmetics line, which closed abruptly in 2021 to the dismay of its small but devoted fan base.

The designer’s latest outing could be read as a sullen celebration of the revolutionary impulse, writes Lynn Yaeger.
