Patrick Demarchelier, best known for creating celebrity imagery with a high-fashion touch, has died at 78. Hugo Comte is set to launch Nikita World, a virtual realm where fans can earn tokens and buy NFTs and digital clothing. Beauty brands are increasingly looking outside the industry to fill in-demand roles focused on brand building, data and more.
