past, current and future trends in the fragrance industry. “In 2011, 1,200 new fragrances were introduced, as

opposed to a total of 372 that were introduced ten years ago,” said edwards. “We are seeing a significant increase in unisex fragrances, primarily due to the rise in niche brands. Personally, I see niche as being the seed ground for the future of prestige.”

Franco continued the presentation with an overview of the U.S. consumer mindset in current economic conditions.

“With weak job growth expected for the months ahead, the current economic environment is suppressing consumer confidence and we are moving sideways as a whole,” said Franco. “There continues to be a clash between consumers’ desire and their ability to spend, but they will remain in a cautious mood heading into the holiday season.”

Liebmann discussed “The Sweet Smell of Shopping,” and the extraordinary resilience in the mind of an

American shopper post-recession.“She’s accepted a new reality, become a smarter shopper,

and has many more tools in hand,” said Liebmann. “online purchasing has become such a massive factor, and 47% of shoppers now use mobile in-store to shop, which is creating tremendous changes in retail at large. It’s stunning the innovation that has occurred in beauty over the last 12 months, and we need to dazzle her with the future, not dig up the past.”

mellage closed the presentation with her explanation of the sudden boom in the fragrance market.

“Alongside a relatively strong stock market and consumers’ frugal fatigue, foreign tourism is a big factor,” said mellage. “Tourists are spending big on luxury items—up 13% over 2010—as they are attracted by lower prices and a weak U.S. dollar. We expect this to contribute to the personal care industry’s record high sales this year of $56 billion.”

-Continued from Page 269-Continued from Page 269EDLICH SISTERS GET RADICAL WITH SKIN CARE

In their early twenties both sisters left virginia for California, where Liz and Rachel would eventually develop the idea for a direct marketing and skin care business called One world Live, Inc. In the years to follow, their access to research and desire for innovation led them on a quest to develop a skin care product that they could use themselves to solve their own personal problems, such as rosacea and fine lines.

“It started as our own little science project, but the results were so amaz-ing,” said Rachel e d l i ch . “ We knew we were compelled to deliver the results worldwide.”

And so became Radical Skincare— a seven-piece prestige skin care collection—including serums, mois-turizers, crèmes and gels—created to prevent, protect and repair aging skin using ingredients and antioxi-dants at their highest potency levels, and a proprietary technology called Trylacel.

“We knew we had created a highly potent line of products that was multi-tasking, but in order to better understand the difference between Radical Skincare and other prestige lines on the market, we conducted clinical testing and discovered our lead product, the Peptide Infused

Antioxidant Serum, is over 300% more powerful than leading brands in fighting the primary cause of aging,” said Liz edlich. “The challenge is keeping the antioxidants at their maximum potency and stable in the bottle to deliver real results, and our Trylacel technology has allowed us to do just that.”

both Liz and Rachel agree that the underpinning of the brand is “radical reality”—ordinary people

doing extraor-dinary things wo r l dw i d e —and they want to inspire others to live a “maxi-mum potency lifestyle.”

“These ‘radical’ people will start to become the faces of the brand, which will create a strong interactive feature for us,” said Liz edlich. “I wrote a booklet called ‘Radical L iv ing: 5 Dimensions beyond Positive,’ which is included with every product purchase, and I am looking to publish a book on the topic in the future. It is important that we try to advance important causes and make a profound impact on other people’s lives.”

Radical Skincare products are available at Barneys stores in New York City and Los Angeles, as well as barneys.com and radicalskincare.com. International distribution will roll out in February and march 2012.

INSIDER’S BREAKFASTcollege, I developed an interest for a global view beyond North America, and decided to accept an offer to move to New York City and work for Revlon at age 21,” said Leipman-Yale. “It entirely changed my life.”

With a desire to enter brand marketing, Leipman-Yale joined Clairol after 10 years and took the opportunity to move into the international business, where she traveled to more than 35 countries over 6-7 years. In 2001, after 19 years at Clairol, Procter & Gamble acquired the company and Leipman-Yale found herself back at Revlon as chief marketing officer.

“This industry gets into your blood—it’s so vital and challenging,” Leipman-Yale said. “eventually the opportunity to join Arcade presented itself, and I knew it would be a chance to use strategic muscles I hadn’t used before.”

once at Arcade, Leipman-Yale used an acronym that she had applied throughout the making of her decisions: ITCCH—Integrity, Tenacity, Curiosity, Courage and Humility.

“It is important to remember your values, stick with an idea if you believe in it, ask people why they do certain things, and make your own moves without relying on what people tell you you should do,” said Leipman-Yale. “And finally, be human and laugh at your own expense. ”

Since Leipman-Yale has taken the reigns at Arcade, the company has opened Arcade LatAm and Arcade Asia, as well as expanded its european busi-ness by over 40%. With 28 sampling technologies in the Arcade portfolio, Leipman-Yale knows consumers will have a chance to try before they buy.

“our goal is to provide tools for wherever consumers want to sample,” said Leipman-Yale. “Consumer engagement is a big piece of our work right now. We are currently working on 4-5 projects for at-the-shelf sampling solutions, and we plan to launch one in 2012. The best way to work with us is to give us a challenge, and we’ll try to give you the best sampling solution.”

CLÉ DE PEAU BEAUTÉthat skin has the ability to “think” and process information. This new information, labeled Neuro-Skin Theory, serves as the inspiration for the brand’s new generation of products, which aim to unveil the key paths for the achievement of beauty at any

age. For this season, Clé d e Pe a u i s in t roducing Intensive Eye Contour Cream

to deliver radiance and revitalization to the eye area in three precise ways to improve skin color, dimension and texture.

L ike La Crème , the brand’s overnight revitalizing cream that launched in February, the new eye cream also contains the prized Illuminating Complex—a ground-breaking ingredient that acknowledges the skin’s cells’ ability to communicate with other cells.

To control the culprits which cause stress to the delicate skin around the eyes, Clé de Peau developed a bal-anced hybrid of three factors including circulation, brightening and smoothing to deliver a bright, even tone around the eyes. Super bio-Hyaluronic Acid moisturizes and strengthens the skin, while Dermal matrix Fortifying Complex fortifies the skin’s underlying structure and delivers optimal depth, which in turn increases luminosity. The final essential element is a propri-etary Clé de Peau complex infused with a retinol derivative, along with a complex of anti-aging ingredients including chestnut rose extract, xylitol and vitamin e to create optimal skin texture.

To enhance application, the cream is accompanied by a platinum eye massager with a multi-faceted surface on the tip to create a gentle and relaxing skin care experience.

Intensive eye Contour Cream is priced at $250.00 for 0.5 oz., and is available at select Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys stores nationwide, as well as Bergdorf Goodman in New York City.

Cindi Leive, editor in chief of Glamour, and Bill wackermann, executive vice president and publishing director of Glamour, were joined by mayor Michael Bloomberg to welcome the honorees and guests to the event, which has now become a “New York institution,” as mayor bloomberg called it.

“We are here to celebrate every-thing that is excellent in the world of women,” said Leive. “I continue to learn the lessons they share with us every year about how to ‘woman up.’ Now I know you don’t have to be a president or a princess to change the world.”

Actress Jessica Alba presented designer and “superwoman” Tory Burch with her award for her entrepreneurship and investment in women, and news guru Arianna huffington received her award from Barbara walters.

This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award was given to women’s rights activist and crusader Gloria Steinem, for changing the roles of women throughout the world.

Actress Lea Michele was awarded for “staying true to her talent and being her own person amongst an industry full of people always telling her no,” and activist Esraa Abdel Fattah, or “Facebook Girl,” was recognized for her efforts in the fight for freedom for egyptian women, and for boldly using social media to help change the world.

Designer Marc Jacobs presented photographer and art superstar Cindy Sherman with her award for using her talent to break barriers and challenge female stereotypes.

withelma “T” Ortiz-Macey was honored for sharing the stories of her abusive past and using them to become one of the nation’s most effective voices against the sex trafficking of children in the United States.

The Generations Award was given to Laura Bush, and her daughters, Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush hager, for using their credibility to become driving forces behind empowerment programs across a range of issues worldwide,

including AIDS awareness and the Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon campaign.

Comedian Chelsea handler received her award from actress and friend Jennifer Aniston, and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords received special recognition for her brave climb back from the shooting that almost took her life, and for continuing to encourage women to get into politics.

And lastly, the All-Star of the night, Jennifer Lopez, was awarded for her successes as a mother, a singer, an actress, and a beauty and fashion icon, as well as a philanthropist.

“I’ve had an incredible couple of years, some ups and some not-so-ups,” said Lopez. “but the one thing that got me through was women, and they shaped me into the woman I am today.”

MACY’S UNVEILS PLANS TO REMODEL NYC FLAGSHIP

DIPTYQUE REMODELS AT BLEECKER STREET

CITYSCENE

Macy’s recently announced its plans for a multi-year renovation of its flagship store at Herald Square in New York City, which will begin in early spring of

2012 and continue in phases through the fall of 2015. The company will invest approximately $400 million in capital in the project, which will aim to reinvent the majority of every floor and department, as well as the exterior of the building.

“While we will be creating a modern, customer-centric shopping experience for customers at Herald Square, we also will be careful to preserve and restore the historical integrity of this landmark building,” said Terry Lundgren, chairman, president and Ceo of macy’s. “blending macy’s architectural legacy with advanced technology and contemporary design is what makes this project so special.”

The plan also includes a 100,000 square-foot expansion of the store’s selling space to a total of 1.2 million square feet by opening up space currently used for stock and offices. This will allow for expanded assortments and upgraded presentations in key merchandise categories including cosmetics and fashion brands for millennial-generation customers.

Technology and new media will be infused into the shopping experience with the addition of interactive store directories, a system to stream live video feeds of macy’s events nation-wide, digital product information, and a new mobile app to guide customers as they shop.

“our design of the new macy’s Herald Square reflects how a new generation of customers prefers to shop,” said Lundgren. “In many cases, products will be organized by lifestyle to help customers create looks and build wardrobes across categories. on every floor and across departments, our shopping envi-ronment will be new, fresh, interesting and entertaining.”

The store will remain open and operating during construction, with the location of some departments shifting temporarily as work progresses, and an estimated 1,600 construction-related positions will be created. by fall 2015, macy’s plans to add nearly 800 new positions to the store’s existing year-round workforce of approximately 4,600 employees.

Diptyque is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the introduction of a new flagship concept and the remodel of its bleecker

Street boutique. Keeping with the location’s culture, the new space has been designed by Jenner Studio to encompass diptyque’s personal identity, as well as the soul of New York City.

Influenced by diptyque’s history and passion for artistic expression, the new design captures the DNA of the brand’s creative heritage and blends it with images of culture, architecture and landscapes of New York. The quintessential “Maison de Parfums,” diptyque’s collection of fragrances, candles and body care, is uniquely displayed to offer the customer a retail experience full of discovery, creativity and distinction.

“We are thrilled to once again partner with Jenner Studio,” said Donna DiDonato, managing director of diptyque USA. “This new space strengthens our long-standing relationship with the neighborhood, and showcases French classicism with our distinctive New York City culture to create a thoroughly modern interpretation of the boutique.”

The right, back and left walls are covered with a layered graphic panorama installed into a floor-to-ceiling steel grid, which houses 270 handmade mirror panels designed to reflect the evolving story of dip-tyque and New York City. Additional design features include Native American-inspired wallpapers and craftwork, retro furniture and bespoke moulded show-cases where the secrets of scent rituals are revealed.

“our design positions diptyque as the preeminent lifestyle fragrance brand, ensuring the environment acts as the perfect storytelling device,” said Christopher Jenner, creative director for Jenner Studio UK. “In this project, we have redefined customer interaction to encourage client discovery and relationship building with an interactive journey through culture, style and sensation in order to attract a discerning global clientele.” ■CW

According to David Arbuthnot, Ceo of GANT USA, the fragrance is now rolling out to the company’s other points of sale—approximately 250 stores.

“We put the fragrance on the floor [at the New York City Fifth Avenue location] and within two hours, we had sold ten bottles,” said Arbuthnot. “First week sales at the store out- performed our forecast, and we have placed significant reorders in antici-pation of holiday sales. The message of the fragrance engages the customer from outside our windows and at the moment they enter the store where the scent is on display. Fragrance is also in the air because we have room sprays on both of our floors.”
