South Coast Plaza welcomes new retailers
After welcoming nearly 40 boutiques in 2024 alone, South Coast Plaza is poised to surpass that figure this year with an impressive slate of store openings and reimagined spaces that further cement its position as the West Coast's premier luxury shopping hub.
Recent highlights include the West Coast flagship for Dior Beauty, the arrival of luxury French swimwear brand Eres, and a new Tiffany & Co. pop-up.
Later this spring and into summer, the shopping destination will welcome Ami Paris, Eleventy, and Guerlain, along with new boutiques from Gianvito Rossi, Moncler, Roger Vivier, Sandro, and See's Candies.
Fall will bring even more coveted names, including Alo, Skims, and redesigned store concepts for Bottega Veneta, Camilla, Club Monaco, Crate & Barrel, MaxMara, and Tumi.
"This spring is an exciting time of growth at South Coast Plaza," said Debra Gunn Downing, executive director of marketing.
"These vibrant, new boutiques and dining experiences continue to further elevate the experience for our shoppers and tell the story of Southern California's premier shopping destination.'

Interparfums launches Solférino Paris, its first high-end perfume brand
After building its success around brands such as Jimmy Choo, Montblanc, and Lacoste, French licensed fragrance specialist Interparfums has launched Solférino Paris, its first proprietary brand of haute parfumerie. The launch is a calculated foray into the niche perfume segment at a time when the global perfume market continues to move upmarket. Inspired by the emblematic address of its Paris headquarters, 10 rue de Solférino, a former private mansion that was long the stronghold of the French Socialist Party, the brand's name echoes the history of the city. Inaugurated in 2022 as the headquarters of Interparfums, this Haussmann building is the creative anchor for a project driven by Philippe Bénacin, the group's CEO, who as early as November 2024 expressed his desire to enable everyone to "take a piece of Paris home with them." The inaugural Solférino Paris collection consists of ten gender-neutral eaux de parfum, numbered 01 to 10, each inspired by a Parisian place or moment. They include Rêverie sur Seine 01, a woody neroli by Nathalie Lorson (DSM Firmenich), Un Baiser Place Vendôme 08, an iridescent sandalwood by Shyamala Maisondieu (Givaudan), and Coup de Foudre Quai Voltaire 09, an amber-woody composition by Anne Flipo (IFF). Already available for a week at the Drugstore Publicis in Paris, the collection will be gradually rolled out, with the opening of its first own-name boutique at 310 rue Saint-Honoré in September. The strategic location is situated on a thoroughfare where more and more high-end perfumery boutiques are emerging. At the same time, the brand plans to launch a dedicated e-commerce site in September. Positioned in the premium segment, Solférino Paris offers two formats: 75 ml at 160 euros and 125 ml at 260 euros. With this initiative, Interparfums aligns itself with a trend driven by other major groups in the sector. In early 2024, Coty inaugurated Infiniment Coty Paris, its own prestige perfumery house, also with a boutique in Paris. In the first quarter of 2025, Interparfums recorded sales of 235.5 million euros, up from 212.7 million euros the previous year. Growth was driven in particular by the performances of Jimmy Choo (+40%) and Lacoste (+34%). In March, the group also announced the acquisition of the Goutal house, founded in 1981 by Annick Goutal, further strengthening its portfolio in the premium segment. With Solférino Paris, Interparfums initiates a shift towards the ultra-selective, while capitalising on its Parisian roots and olfactory expertise. A positioning that could appeal to international markets, notably China.

L'Oréal reorganises its management in India to support growth
L'Oréal India, the subsidiary owned by global cosmetics giant L'Oréal, has reshaped its Indian governance. The change underlines the company's ambitions to expand in one of the world's most dynamic beauty markets. As of October 1, Jacques Lebel will take up the position of country manager for the Indian subsidiary, succeeding Aseem Kaushik, who will assume the role of president. This change in management comes at a time when the French cosmetics giant is aiming to more than double its business in India over the next few years. This ambition is underpinned by the rapid growth of the country's beauty market, fuelled by the emergence of an expanding middle class and increased demand for cosmetics and skincare products. Jacques Lebel was previously general manager of L'Oréal's Consumer Division in Mexico. Prior to joining L'Oréal, he held marketing and general management positions at Procter & Gamble and AB InBev. Aseem Kaushik, meanwhile, will take on the role of president of L'Oréal India, with a mandate focused on corporate reputation, public affairs, institutional relations, and CSR initiatives. Present in India since 1994, L'Oréal today boasts a varied portfolio, ranging from consumer brands such as L'Oréal Paris, Maybelline New York, and Garnier, to luxury brands such as Lancôme, Kiehl's, and Yves Saint Laurent Beauté. L'Oréal produces 95% of what it sells in India locally, at a rate of around 500 million units a year. A significant proportion of this production is exported, notably to the Gulf States. In an exchange with the press, L'Oréal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus reaffirmed the strategic importance of India for the group. "We intend to expand our factories, increase our production capacities, and strengthen our exports", he declared last June. The company has also stepped up its investments in the local ecosystem, recently acquiring stakes in two emerging Indian brands - Deconstruct (skincare) and Arata (haircare) - via its Bold investment fund dedicated to innovative start-ups in the sector. The Indian beauty market could reach $30 billion (€28.8 billion) by 2027.
