Gucci Beauty Goes to L'Oréal

L'Oréal is entering into a 50-year exclusive license agreement for all Gucci fragrances and beauty products. The deal follows Kering's early redemption of the Gucci Beauty license from Coty, with Coty receiving roughly $400 million for the early exit and L'Oréal paying Kering about 70% of the transition costs. L'Oréal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus called the deal "a significant additional growth engine," while L'Oréal Luxe President Cyril Chapuy said the deal positions the companies to "build a new multi-billion-euro house." {L'Oréal; Kering}

De Beers Cuts Diamond Prices

Global diamond company De Beers has made its steepest price cuts on record, aligning diamond prices with the secondary market after years of propping them up. The shift follows a brutal stretch for the industry, hit by falling Chinese luxury spending, cheaper synthetic diamonds and oversupply from producers like Angola. This move also comes as De Beers restructures its buyer network and as owner Anglo American nears a sale of the company. {Bloomberg/paywalled}

Chanakya International Launches Chorus

Chanakya International, the Mumbai embroidery house behind decades of work for Dior, Prada and Fendi, has launched Chorus, a new global fashion brand founded by Creative Director Karishma Swali and her daughter Avantika, marking the atelier's shift from behind-the-scenes maker to a brand in its own right. The label's Resort 2027 collection, drawing on Indian chintz patterns as well as the sari and dhoti, debuts on Moda Operandi this week alongside Chorus' own stores in Mumbai and Delhi. {Vogue Business/paywalled}
