PEOPLE
Dynamic people are one of our Company’s most important assets. This year, we
added several exciting new faces to our team. Liya Kebede became the first
spokesmodel of African descent to represent the Estée Lauder brand, underscoring
its commitment to global beauty. Aramis signed a multi-year contract with tennis
superstar Andre Agassi to endorse its new fragrance, Aramis Life, which launches
this fall. William P. Lauder became Chief Operating Officer, and Leonard A. Lauder
continued his role as the Company’s ambassador, with appearances at the U.S.
Naval Academy and many other important sites.
BRANDS
The Estée Lauder Companies made two strategic investments in the prestige arena.
We acquired Darphin, the Paris-based maker of products incorporating natural
ingredients and essential oils. The Company entered into a license agreement
with Michael Kors L.L.C. for their award-winning fragrance, bath and body line.
Among our existing brands, M.A.C opened its first freestanding store in Berlin,
bringing the total number of M.A.C doors in Germany to 13, and Aveda sponsored
its bi-annual Congress for 6,000 customers.
