WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: TUESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2023 Coty is preparing to bring back Marc Jacobs Beauty, two years after its Velvet Noir mascara and other cult products were discontinued. A proliferation of corporate sustainability reporting hasn't translated into environmental improvements. BoF columnist Kenneth Pucker unpacks why. Luxury watches worth more than £1 billion ($1.3 billion) have been reported as stolen or missing. Walmart and Centric Brands are investigating allegations their supply chains illegally sourced garments from a Cambodian women's prison. Plus, revisit BoF's case study on how some DTC brands are still growing both their top and bottom lines.
