Why private equity’s fashion bet failed and what founders are doing instead (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Everyone thinking that they could become unicorns was clearly a fool’s errand,” says Lauren Santo Domingo, who co-founded fashion retail platform Moda Operandi in New York in 2010, just as venture capitalists and private-equity firms began eyeing up fashion businesses. The opportunities for quick customer acquisition and scaling up seemed endless, so investors started pouring money into the fashion sector in the same way as they had been with the tech industry and food businesses. “Private-equi
Riviera renaissance: Inside the revamped, historic Monte-Carlo Beach hotel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The legend surrounding the Monte-Carlo Beach hotel is second to none: stories of Marlene Dietrich spending her holidays here shortly after its opening in the 1920s, or late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld shooting campaigns with Helmut Newton on its premises, have kept the hotel’s myth alive. The moment you enter the sleek white lobby, you are met with a sense of gravitas that inspires you to carry yourself differently and indulge in the pleasures of the Riviera.

Smilovic didn’t al
Does the acquisition of Harvey Nichols hold Fraser Group’s key to the luxury industry? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The UK’s Frasers Group – owner of discount sportswear chain Sports Direct – has announced the acquisition of British department store Harvey Nichols from administrators. Frasers paid a measly £40m (€46.8m) for the retailer’s six shops across the UK, as well as its e-commerce platform and international franchises. Unsurprisingly, many are concerned about the acquisition, including Harvey Nichols’ some 1,000 employees, luxury brand partners and the industry at large. Frasers founder Mike Ashley ha
