L’Oréal may not stay the world’s No. 1 cosmetics group forever. LVMH could eventually gobble up all or parts of the Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) even though the French luxury giant has denied any interest – for now, as Miss Tweed reported last week. Competition from rival groups Coty, Shiseido, Interparfums and Puig is set to intensify and new challengers are emerging such as Cartier owner Richemont and French luxury group Kering.

The Estée Lauder Companies has come under the spotlight. Its share price has collapsed since January after a series of profit warnings, but it’s been rising steadily in the past three weeks. It is up 18 percent since Nov. 1. LVMH has denied any interest in acquiring the company, but investors are speculating that it could buy a stake or eventually make a bid. Some insiders also think an activist investor could build a position in order to put pressure on the company to nominate a new CEO and change its strategy.

Farfetch CEO José Neves is living dark hours. The online fashion marketplace and e-commerce technology provider canceled the publication of its third-quarter results this week and said its guidance was no longer valid. The move comes after Britain’s Daily Telegraph reported that Neves could take the company private. Where would he find the money? Who would lend it to him? Neves’ friends say he is a phoenix who will rise from his ashes. But for now, the situation looks dire.
American designer Matthew Williams is leaving Givenchy after three years as the French brand’s creative director. A year ago, Miss Tweed predicted that Williams was going to leave in 2023 as his contract ended. He leaves the brand on Jan. 1.

Complacency, poor performance and a series of profit warnings have made the Estée Lauder Companies lose two thirds of its value in two years. America’s biggest beauty group is perceived as a sitting duck waiting to be taken on, stock market investors say.

What would Estée Lauder, the doyenne of the modern cosmetic industry, say? The Estée Lauder Companies, her namesake multinational, appears to be stuck in a downward spiral. The $41bn group has missed expectations nearly every quarter this year. Then last week, it again cut growth targets. America’s biggest beauty group keeps losing market share to rivals such as France’s L’Oréal and Spain’s Puig.

LVMH has been in on-and-off-talks with Farfetch over the past few months about acquiring the license to manufacture and distribute the fashion brand Off-White, several industry sources said. Founded by former Louis Vuitton menswear creative director Virgil Abloh in 2013, Off-White suffers from underinvestment by Farfetch, which owns the license through its New Guards Group (NGG) unit.
