This September, BoF and TikTok co-hosted an intimate roundtable with executives from the likes of TikTok, LVMH, Calvin Klein, Fendi, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels and E.l.f. Beauty, to discuss how brands can effectively build digital intimacy with their communities and drive commercial results.

Michael Kors testified about the nature of the competitive landscape of the handbag market, as the FTC scrutinises Tapestry’s $8.5 billion acquisition of Capri Holdings.

The intense political moment found its way onto the runway, wittingly or unwittingly, reports Lynn Yaeger.

Above all, this New York Fashion Week will be remembered for floor-sweeping leather coats and ‘Queen Bey,’ writes Lynn Yaeger.

The second half of New York Fashion Week suggested the season wasn’t just about 90s influences but gossamer fabrics, trawling nets, big jackets over tiny skirts and when in doubt lace, lace, lace, reports Lynn Yaeger.

BoF Insights and Quilt.AI co-created The BoF Brand Magic Index to examine if customers see a brand the same way a brand sees itself. The Index quantifies and ranks 50 global luxury and fashion labels using AI-driven analysis of tens of thousands of social media posts by brands and their customers.

New York Fashion Week kicks off on Friday, bringing the return of Ralph Lauren and Peter Do’s first collection for Helmut Lang. Plus, what else to watch for this week.

How the American ‘accessible luxury’ group Tapestry can capitalise on its newly acquired brands and more from BoF’s Imran Amed.

By putting Coach, Michael Kors, Versace and other brands under one roof, the combined company instantly vaults to the top of US fashion groups and creates something genuinely new in the industry: an American accessible luxury giant.

The parent company of Coach is taking control of the brands, owned by Capri Holdings, to add heft to its portfolio and better compete with Europe’s luxury heavyweights.
