SEPHORA
Since 1969
Sephora has always been committed to
creating a unique shopping experience, in
its boutiques around the world and on its
websites. By giving “beautystas” the chance
to test its products, Sephora has turned its
stores into distinctive spaces of freedom.
Its guiding principle remains unchanged:
o er state-of-the-art products and keep
up with new trends. With its stylish retail
locations, exceptional service and unique
approach, Sephora has become an indis-
pensable name in beauty.
KENZO
Since 1970
With its colorful prints and declaration of
freedom, Kenzo shook up the couture
codes of the time by irreverently breaking
the rules. In 2011, Humberto Leon and Carol
Lim took post as Co-Creative Directors. At
the core of their approach, travel, culture
and fashion manifest in all that they do.
Kenzo has become known for its ground-
breaking collaborations with avant-garde
artists, musicians, actors, and designers.
PARFUMS LOEWE
Since 1972
In 1972, the Madrid-based fashion Maison
Loewe launched its fi rst women’s fragrance:
L de Loewe. Forty years and ten olfactory
creations later, the Maison presented Solo
Loewe, a new men’s fragrance which refl ects
Spanish culture with audacity, modernity
and sensuality. Loewe fragrances incarnate
the Spanish spirit: elegant, refi ned, luminous,
strong and unpredictable, with fl oral, woody
and lemon-scented essences.
MONTRES DIOR
Since 1975
Like Maison Dior’s other collections, Dior
timepieces are conceived in Paris, in the
design studios on Avenue Montaigne. With
expert assistance from Dior’s watchmaking
workshop, Les Ateliers Horlogers Dior, Dior
timepiece designers create each new collec-
tion with no constraint but to remain faithful
to Mr. Dior’s spirit. Les Ateliers Horlogers
Dior, founded in 2001 and located in La
Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, then takes
over and brings the project to life.
BENEFIT COSMETICS
Since 1976
In 1976, twin sisters Jean and Jane Ford
opened a quirky San Francisco boutique
where they understood that make-up
doesn’t have to be serious to look good.
Their new feel-good approach to beauty
was a hit and the twins successfully built
Benefi t Cosmetics into the international
beauty empire that’s every gal’s best friend.
Today, the brand has catapulted into a
global beauty presence in over 45 countries
– and growing!
HUBLOT
Since 1980
Hublot, a di erent way of forging ahead,
where the future rolls forward – second by
second – at breathtaking speed. Initiated
and developed by Jean-Claude Biver with
Ricardo Guadalupe, they turned the brand
into a success story in which Big Bang,
Classic Fusion and Manufacture Pieces
represent the symbols of an evolving tra-
dition. Hublot defines itself through its
“Art of Fusion” philosophy, bringing tradi-
tion into the future.
THOMAS PINK
Since 1984
In the fi nest tradition of British tailoring,
Thomas Pink transforms shirt making into
an art form, and perpetuates the savoir-
faire of an iconic name that combines clas-
sicism and imagination.
MARC JACOBS
Since 1984
After thirty years, Marc Jacobs continues to
unabashedly shape the boundaries of
American fashion. The indefi nable charac-
teristics of his namesake label are the
result of a certain unique, uncommonly frank
and brilliantly outspoken perspective.
Marc Jacobs o ers fashion and accessories
through a broad spectrum of accessibility
without compromising fashion and crea-
tivity. One brand, one vision, one show. All
under the Marc Jacobs label.
DKNY
Since 1984
The House, founded by Donna Karan, is
synonymous with New York. Now under
the creative direction of Dao-Yi Chow and
Maxwell Osborne, DKNY delivers a universe
of products that bridges the desirable with
the practical.
