A new luxury group is in the making.

Authentic Brands Group, known so far mostly for its Marilyn Monroe business, has bought the brands  Judith Leiber, Adrienne Vittadini and Taryn Rose reports WWD.
Through its shareholder Leonard, Green & Partners, Autentic Brands Group is connected to luxury retailers like Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Tourneau.

In Europe, two newer groups are competing with the established LVMH, Richemont, and PPR in the luxury arena: Labelux Group and Ridigier & Partners.

Yet brand groups – even in luxury – are no certain way to success.  
This was proven by Egana Group out of Hong Kong. Beginning in the 90s it built a large portfolio of owned and licensed brands. It failed in 2008 and was rescued by retailer Lifestyle International Holdings.  

Wie bei WWD zu lesen, hat Kenneth Cole seine Parfum-Lizenz neu vergeben.

Bisher war Coty Lizenznehmer, nun ist es Parlux.
Innerhalb des deutlich kleineren Marken-Portfolios von Parlux dürfte Kenneth Cole eine größere Rolle spielen als beim Marktführer Coty.

As reported by WWD,the fragrance license of Kenneth Cole has moved from Coty to Parlux.

Within the much smaller portfolio of Parlux, Kenneth Cole might enjoy a better position than with market leader Coty.

Laut WWD, hat Jean Paul Gaultier eine Lizenz an Ittierre SpA vergeben.

Die neuen Streetwear Kollektionen, für Männer und für Frauen, soll im Juni präsentiert werden, Auslieferung soll im Frühjahr 2014 erfolgen.

Ittierre hält bereits Markenlizenzen von John Galliano, Aquascutum und Guy Laroche.
