As the industry anticipates Farfetch's first-quarter earnings report on May 26, Business of Fashion asks whether the company can shift the narrative around fashion tech. "Farfetch is a master at reinventing itself to ride the latest trends in online retail. But it's having a tough time convincing investors it's not just another pandemic stock," writes Brian Baskin. "Like most other e-commerce companies, the luxury marketplace benefitted hugely from the boom in online retail in 2020 and 2021. Now, with consumers reverting to their pre-Covid shopping habits, Farfetch must make the case that it has a plan B." {Business


This is the question posed by Rachel Brown of Beauty Independent, who turns a critical eye toward the paradoxical concept of "sustainable beauty." Brown enlists 15 beauty entrepreneurs, executives and experts — including KraveBeauty's Liah Yoo, Wldkat's Amy Zunzunegui and Formula Botanica's Lorraine Dallmeier — to share their thoughts on the matter, aiming to determine "whether the beauty industry can reconcile those contrary aims." {Beauty Independent}

It's probably because it’s more of a fantasy: a super-high, super-low fantasy, and I’m trying to understand it now exactly and be more realistic. More practical. More useful. I don’t know why, but I think it’s a moment where you can be somehow serious in your work. I feel it’s not the moment for fantasies though—of course, we’ll always have fantasy—but because it’s so difficult to understand what’s happening… the metaverse, NFTs, all that kind of world that is run in parallel.

The opening night on Tuesday set the tone. During a celebrity-strewn black-tie gala in the Palais des Festival’s Grand Théâtre Lumière, festival president Pierre Lescure bestowed upon the American actor Forest Whitaker an honorary Palme d’Or, the festival’s most prestigious award.
