Women who can dress well, where to win? The detailed "ever-changing" guide can be called a fashion textbook.

Text: Lowe

Hi, I’m Lowe. Let’s continue our fashion trip, and we’ll never get lost when we become beautiful.

How to play with ever-changing styles? Today, it is the protagonist.

Light is color, and light is colored; Things are shapes, and tangible things exist. Therefore, color and things are the simple features of nature bred by heaven and earth.

Our understanding of the world can be essentially classified into two points:Colors and objects. Regardless of industry, regardless of species.

Based on this,styleThe word arises spontaneously. Broadly speaking, it is the classification and division of a certain kind of things with common characteristics; In a narrow sense, it is a personality with a specific label.

For example, the character style, clothes style, collocation style, and evenBaibian modeling style. In different environments or contexts, styles can be integrated and connected without hindrance.

And,styleJust like a music conductor, facing a jumble of different colors or objects (clothes and people), he dances a harmonious stick and plays a pleasing fashion style.

Only when the style of a suit is clear can it stand the vicious aesthetic appreciation and torture.

So, where does the style come from? Lowe’s answer is: people, clothes, accessories, colors, inspiration, temperament, demeanor, words and deeds, temperament, posture. ……Everything is..

The most important thing: everyone’s style is unique. It is presented after the integration of people and clothes.Unique tonality.

If you reallyHave temperament, then the style is unique and quite charming; If you don’t, it shows everything inside: poor, poor, pale, helpless, tacky or mediocre. …

This is why people with temperament look good in everything. Because, the characters themselvesCharming gas field, has long surpassed all external things. Please note that you are good-looking and have a figure. Have temperament.

Here’s to clarify what a real temperament is: it is.From the insideA state of mental energy, which does not refer to some features of appearance or the contrast of clothes.

I still remember a customer I met in the store before. When she pushed the door in, her whole energy instantly lit up everything. That kind of elegant and decent gas field, which is strongly shocking, has never forgotten me.

Of course, for ordinary people, it is not an overnight success to want to have this temperament. But at least if you know the direction of your efforts, you have already succeeded half the time, right?

Today’s fashion sharing will focus on 【Variety style】 wear it.Focus buildingExpand. There is a lot of verbosity above, which is the core of temperament shaping and belongs to the ideological level. Next, it is the application sharing of practical exercises.

As I said before, as long as a set of clothes has a distinctive style, the whole will not be difficult to see. So, where does the style come from? How to establish a style?

This will belong to 【Focus building】 And the ever-changing shape is a game with a distinct focus. After all, we can’t get away from the style focus of condensing light.

However, where does the focus come from? Lowe defines it as: anything is possible, coveringCharacters and costumesEverything depends on personal aesthetic vision and creative inspiration.

However, from the conventional application experience, Lowe listed as follows:

Clothes tone

A piece of clothing itselfBright colorTonality often has the advantage of preemptive visual snatch. At this point, it is the king of focus. All collocation ideas should revolve around it, and the style will take the lead because of it.

Like this rose-purple coat, the color is exaggerated and the lines are neat, which is quite intellectual. The wisdom and romance that women love most are far more elegant than the fiery red.

If it is black, white, gray, rice and other basic colors, it is necessary to look at it with the help of design to distinguish its hue. In the picture below, the black stitching lines of the beige sweater are quietlySmall personalityLay the groundwork.

In line with this idea, choosing a beige gauze skirt to match is a modest luxury. The quiet momentum personality is the most shocking. Comparing the upper and lower styles, the style images are naturally wonderful.

Clothing design

Throw away the fashion tension of large-area colors, and use design lines, or decorative elements, and small-area contrast colors to show their individuality. Their styles are distinctive.

If you want to dress well, there are two ideas: follow the trend or go upstream.by taking advantage of an opportunity, that is, highlight the design tonality and focus on it;adverse current, that is, mix and match, compare the test of wearing skills.

The strength of fashion power depends onDesign sense of quantityDepending on the size. This light blue sweater, with its flared sleeves, has a definite personality. As for how to wear it and how to highlight this sense of design, everyone has his own arrangement.

People who know will build momentum, such as matching a cropped sleeve coat or a vest; If you don’t understand, you may be at a loss and become a disorderly situation.

Clothing fabric

The style of fabric, though small, cannot be ignored. Knitting, for example, is delicate, rugged and has different styles. When the fabric becomes the focus label, you have to learn to adapt.

thisTexture senseThe obvious sweater coat must be worn casually to look good. Of course, exquisiteness and femininity should be at least 20% so as not to be sloppy.

As thin as a veil and as transparent as a cicada.Lace materialAt one time, romantic women were sought after. Wearing the right style, wearing the wrong gaudy, being measured and measured, has become cautious.

If you make friends with neat shirts, all vulgar worries can be dispelled. This personality, this focus, is the favorite of the urban workplace elite. Of course, lace should be high-grade and textured.

Color matching tone

What is color matching tone? That is, a set of collocation creates a tone tendency. It can often turn decay into magic. Looking at this beige knitted skirt alone, the highlights are insufficient.

But with a gold bag, it makes people shine.Focus tone, is the overall style label: cool, fashionable, silk does not hesitate, when it comes to it.

Color matching tones can only be understood, but not expressed. For example,White and blue matchThe refreshing classic is a French style label of a literary fan. Especially jeans with a white coat is the usual method.

Like white shirt+jeans, white sweater+jeans, who can refuse effortless fashion? Other images: red and blue, blue and brown, rice flour, red and brown … please experience it carefully.

shoe

Shoes are the focus, the easiest to get started. Decide the style, make the finishing point,shoeNever flinch. When worn, shoes still occupy a delicate and exquisite visual window.

Cool Martin boots, pointed shoes, distinctive personality, rule out the river.

Over the yearsNeutral leather shoes, far more popular than delicate loafers. Exaggerated design, bold tone and strong sense of existence contribute to a neat neutral focus for a set of collocation.

Before choosing it, weigh your free and easy ingredients.

Bag

Shoes and bags have the same status, and they are equal. Can be independent and cooperate with each other. If you are a fashion novice, please cooperate with it, and the error probability is extremely low.

A bag with weight or bright spots isIdentity and tasteThe sum of.

In addition, the bag also plays a role.Harmonic focusThe great responsibility. Big coat? Long coat? Everything loose and bloated can be solved by a delicate and lovely small bag in minutes.

A playful and lively atmosphere, a set of calm collocation.

jewels

Hehe, the focus effect of jewelry need not be said. Most of the modeling atmosphere is supported by it.Jewelry pointsThe more, the more exaggerated the effect, the more distinctive the style.

From the lapel coatwhite pearlHow appropriate, straight melody and harmony, exquisite and elegant power emerge instantly.

OrnamentalFocus buildingVery flexible, try to figure out a way that suits you, and fashion comes uninvited.

Like shoes and bags, jewelry also has a boost from brands. There is a stronger sense of existence and a more obvious style tendency, so we must pay attention to screening. cultivateluxury goodsThe ability to taste culture is also a part of clothing.

Small thing

Small accessories, such as glasses, scarves, scarves, watches, etc., although small in area, can create momentum for style. When you want to be academic, or to express dignity and intellectuality, a pairFrame glassesIt’s an artifact.

Autumn and winterglovesIt also has the effect of making the finishing point, and paying attention to women will never ignore it.

Personality beltHold up the fashion focus for the waist. With clothes, it becomes an excellent window.

Soft factor

What is a soft factor? Lowe classifies all the elements that are invisible and can only be felt as soft factors. Such as temperament, expression, words and deeds, inner strength, temperament and so on.

A set of collocation, a style, have corresponding.Wear imposing manner. According to occasions, scenes and needs, to release and express, you can naturally get what you want with the help of fashion clothes.

This level, very picky, only the master understands.

After a series of combing the focus, I believe you will get the message. However, how to combine the scene application? This link is the demonstration of the scene.

Scene 1: Low-key luxury

Low-key luxury is a gorgeous reward for dark shadows. It has texture and connotation, which can better show taste. Compared with the sheer splendor, this modelling technique lies in.mediate.

For example, a mix of personalized purple tops and jeans. Leisure and gorgeous, especially bright.

A simple but elegant color, small area.Printed silk scarfIt’s definitely the highlight. It has contributed greatly to the creation of luxury and splendor. The bold contrast of white, red and blue can’t be described in a striking way!

mix colours in proper proportionsIt is the easiest to create luxury and luxuriance. Pink-purple tweed long coat, dignified and elegant, with dark blue inside, will fully stimulate the unique advantages of the same color.

The gorgeous collar type complements each other, and the color bag echoes the beige booties, paying attention to exquisiteness.

Scene 2: Capable commuting

I am afraid that those who are deeply appreciated will be rewarded by the elite with golden collars in the workplace. It is necessary to look good and decent, but also to highlight the charm of neat and capable work. It is worth pondering and studying.

For example, an elegant suit with a big woman style. entiretyRice tone+Cut neatly to win, embellish a chic brooch, and hold all the details in place.

When commuting normally, wearing a black suit under a beige coat makes you look dashing, no less than a whirlwind wherever you go. The focus of this kind of collocation often lies in the details.

The neutral wind is obvious, and the exquisiteness and femininity can all depend on it.detailWon. Like scarves, ankles, and bright spirits … all of them are big dramas.

Deep blue coatIts wisdom and intellectuality are its distinctive style labels. How to activate it? With a beige satin shirt inside, the lace-up is elegant and feminine.

Under the bright blue overskirt, echo with light blue bag, and then buckle patent leather shoes on both sides, elegant and atmospheric.

When attending some important event scenes, how to cover everything, especially test the inspiration. At this timeFocus buildingIt can be called a finishing touch weapon.

For example, a black collarless suit with a bow-tie shirt and brooch embellishment, silver shoes and white bags are a link between the preceding and the following, and the depth contrast is all hard power.

For beige, we often stay away from it, but if you choose the right style and clothes, it will definitely make you more elegant. A patterned dress, bow tie, waist, hem and printing are all exquisite.

With a camel coat, the big lapels that can’t be said hold up neutral bones and muscles. With tenderness and toughness,Distinctive style.

Scene 3: Get together with friends

Getting together with girlfriends, or meeting friends, all female counterparts must be a fashion contest. The two styles of the scene below are worn by little women and big women.Style game.

White+black; The other is beige+black, which matches their looks and temperament and pays attention to dressing demonstration.

If it is a grand meeting of elders, it is inevitable to wear a dignified suit. When you are dressed in black, you can go fromDesign profileLooking for a breakthrough, showing a lovely cocoon shape or A-shape collocation, liveliness and agility will emerge.

Make the finishing touch with beige exquisite bags, and hit it off with smart; Second, the atmosphere and formality are contrasted.

Scene 4: Social gathering

Some formal social scenes compete for comprehensive strength. Identity, status, value, image, aesthetics, temperament … all of them. How to dress decently needs to be considered.

Dark red suit, with a gray-pink dress skirt, the whole style is upgraded instantly. In order to highlight the details, the personalized tassel scarf and silver bag are embellished, emphasizing the artistic conception of color matching and highlighting the main theme.Tone style.

Scene 5: Home Leisure

A sweater, a pair of jeans and a pair of comfortable loafers are the happiness and fashion of home leisure. The comfortable and relaxing atmosphere is just like doing one’s duty.Theme style.

Reconciliation is a little delicate and feminine, so enjoy the present, ok?

Ok, the focus of the ever-changing style is over. I hope to inspire you a little!

Xiang Jun: Go all out to fight the last battle; Will not do rehearsals about football tactics.

On November 4th, the Shenzhen team will face the final match with Beijing Guoan at home. Today, the coach team leader Xiang Jun and player Hu Jiajin attended the pre-match press conference and introduced the team’s preparations.

Talk about preparing for war

I’m glad to be back at home. No matter what the team’s achievements are now, it’s very exciting to finish the last game of this year with the support of the home fans, and the team will go all out to dedicate a wonderful game to the fans.

Tomorrow is the 14th game you coached this season. The results of the first 13 games were 1 draw and 12 losses. Will it be a pity that you didn’t win the next game?

As a coach or any player, every game is prepared with the goal of winning. There may be some other objective reasons for not winning, and the result itself is regrettable, but we all go all out to prepare and hope to achieve the desired goal as much as possible.

During the preparation for this game, did you tell the players how to say goodbye to the fans after the last game of this year, and was there any special ceremony?

For the interaction between players and fans after the game, I think it should be more impromptu or temporary. We can’t do rehearsals outside of football tactics, and our attention is still focused on the game itself.

Hu Jiajin spoke.

Although the team has been relegated, tomorrow is the last Super League game of the season, and there will still be many fans supporting us. We will definitely try our best to win this game and give the fans an explanation.

Comprehensive reform+punishing corruption, so that there is nowhere to hide over-medical treatment.

In the ongoing medical anti-corruption storm, the case of the dean of a hospital in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province is impressive: the amount involved in the corruption of the dean is more than 29.8 million yuan, and the related kickbacks and inflated drug and equipment prices are included in the medical cost, which directly leads to the people’s "difficulty in seeing a doctor" and "expensive in seeing a doctor". After the dean was arrested, the average outpatient and inpatient expenses in this hospital decreased by 16.6% and 21.4% from January to May this year, and the per capita medical cost decreased by more than 1,400 yuan.

The reason why this medical anti-corruption storm has received such extensive attention is because the people are worried that these corrupt funds, which are often tens of millions of yuan and hundreds of millions of yuan, will eventually be passed on to themselves through excessive medical care. Medical behavior is professional and has high barriers, so ordinary people have no ability to identify whether they have been overtreated. It is precisely because of the lack of recognition ability that ordinary people may transfer their anxiety and resentment about excessive medical care to every doctor they come into contact with, resulting in innocent doctors being implicated.

The cancer of the industry of over-medical treatment did not happen in a day, and the country’s efforts to cut this cancer did not start today. In 2017, the reporter followed the former National Health Planning Commission to investigate the local medical reform in Lufeng County, Yunnan Province. The reform in this county has enabled doctors to increase their income by saving money for patients. A deputy chief physician interviewed by the reporter at that time had a monthly salary increase of about 50%. At the same time, the average hospitalization cost in Lufeng County was 3,308 yuan, which was 446 yuan lower than the provincial average.

This reform focuses on the payment method of DRG(Diagnosis Related Groups). DRG refers to classifying patients into disease groups according to clinical similarity and resource consumption similarity, and making medical expenses standards for payment in groups.

At that time, Lufeng County People’s Hospital established 294 disease groups, covering 26,029 disease diagnoses. For example, if the cost of a certain disease group is 5,000 yuan, then the medical insurance department will pay 5,000 yuan to the hospital for this disease group. If the patient only spends 4,700 yuan on treatment, the balance of 300 yuan will be controlled by the hospital. If it costs 5,300 yuan, the excess 300 yuan will also be paid by the hospital. Under this payment mode, the hospital has become the cost controller, from the original "asking me to control fees" to "I want to control fees", avoiding excessive medical behaviors such as excessive inspection and indiscriminate use of drugs.

In addition, in order to prevent hospitals from "cutting corners" in the process of medical services in order to increase income, at that time, the medical insurance department of Lufeng County stipulated that the balance rate should not exceed 7% of the medical expenses standard, and the medical insurance department that exceeded 7% would recover it. The medical insurance department also reserves 3% of the "export", that is, the top 3% patients with the most expensive medical expenses in each disease group are reimbursed by project, which is not limited by the DRG payment standard, so as to dispel the doubts of doctors in treating incurable patients.

DRG payment method originated in the United States. In 2019, shortly after the establishment of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, it began to promote the reform of DRG payment method in more than 30 cities across the country. Due to the complexity of China’s national conditions, while promoting DRG, China has developed an original DIP payment method reform, which was piloted in 71 cities across the country in 2021. Although the two are different in specific operation, the underlying logical thinking is the same: let the hospital become the cost controller and control the excessive medical treatment from the root.

According to relevant documents, from 2022 to 2024, China has fully completed the reform of DRG/DIP payment methods. By the end of 2024, all medical insurance co-ordination areas in China will carry out the reform of DRG/DIP payment methods, and start the pilot areas in advance to continuously consolidate the reform results; By the end of 2025, DRG/DIP payment will cover all eligible medical institutions that provide hospitalization services, and basically achieve full coverage of diseases and medical insurance funds.

The reform will certainly touch the interests of some people. At present, the ongoing medical anti-corruption storm is precisely the severe rectification of illegal interests. While focusing on "key minority" and key positions, the anti-corruption storm also covers the whole chain of production, circulation, sales, use and reimbursement of the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the entire pharmaceutical field. It is expected that with the comprehensive promotion of reform and the crackdown on corruption, there will be no hiding place for over-medical treatment. Only in this way can we really protect angels in white and make the doctor-patient relationship return to purity.

Domestic beauty cosmetics have found a new "high sense"

Title map | vision china

In 2018, a set of lipstick in the Forbidden City became a hot topic. It makes Chinese people realize that our taste in beauty products is not necessarily defined by international brands. Domestic beauty brands have opened a golden age in the domestic beauty market by promoting China’s aesthetics, and teaching young people in China the secret of "becoming beautiful" with more efficient and accurate channels and closer to consumers.

However, the business model that relies solely on "aesthetic dividend" to form competitiveness is fading.The next question is, how to take the road of sustainable business of domestic beauty products?

"Sustainability" is both a mystery and a mystery. All along, we all know that we should improve the sustainable development ability of domestic beauty companies, but few companies really realize this ability into the product value that consumers can really feel.

At the end of 2022, MSCI upgraded the ESG rating of Yixian E-commerce to Grade A, which was the first domestic beauty company to get an A in the MSCI ESG rating, and its sustainable development potential was recognized by the ESG community. Perhaps there is a road for domestic beauty to cross the cycle?

What is also rare is that Yixian E-commerce owns Perfect Diary, Little Odin, Pico Bear and Darfur Skin.(Chinese mainland business)There are many brands of cosmetics and skin care, such as France Colanli, EVE LOM, Yi ‘an State, etc.-the brands are diverse and the strategies are different, so what should the holding companies hold on to in terms of sustainability? This further tests Yixian Group’s essential understanding of sustainable development.

Yixian found the complementarity between the brand and the brand matrix while striving to improve ESG performance.

Looking for the link between products and nature, Yixian is persistent.

In 2022, the eye shadow disc jointly launched by Perfect Diary and chinese national geography was awarded the cross-border joint track award in "Top Ten National IP of 2021". The color design of eye shadow tray seeks inspiration from Danxia landform, plateau, salt lake and terraced fields in China, explores the modern expression of China beauty, and defines the new fashion attitude of domestic beauty cosmetics with the original and pure feeling of nature.

E-commerce in Yixian, which attaches so much importance to natural value, cannot ignore the sustainable trend in the field of consumption. The green values that products can carry are varied, and which values can really impress consumers and bring competitiveness to products is a process of continuous exploration by brands.

Since 2022, Yixian Group has made a more comprehensive exploration on the sustainable elements of products.

"Sustainable packaging" is one of the focuses of the Group. Cosmetics are a special kind of consumer goods, and the quality of its packaging is often greater than the quality of its contents. So they will produce a considerable amount of solid waste. In this regard, Yixian Group has adopted two strategies: on the one hand, it has simplified unnecessary packaging, especially oversized outer packaging boxes and plastics in packaging; On the other hand, it increases the sustainable materials and recyclability of product packaging.

Not surprisingly, among all packaging materials, plastic has the greatest negative impact on the environment.Yixian e-commerce has continuously reduced the use strength of plastics by replacing plastics with degradable materials and reducing some unnecessary plastic mulching measures. The overall use intensity of the group’s packaging materials has also increased from 0.08 in 2021.(ton/ten thousand yuan revenue), reduced to 0.04 in 2022.(ton/ten thousand yuan revenue).

Yixian first turned the high-end skin care brand into a brand with high-level green packaging. EVE LOM’s product packaging is 100% recyclable, and it has won The Green Dot logo, which has become the sustainable packaging benchmark in Yixian’s brand matrix.

MSCI believes that the sustainable packaging work of Yixian e-commerce has reached the leading level in the global industry. This has also helped Yixian significantly improve its MSCI ESG rating to a considerable extent.

Sustainable packaging will also urge cosmetic enterprises to change their own product aesthetics. At this point, Yixian can be said to have won at the starting line. The design of Yixian’s brand is permeated with the brand’s insight into product use and applicable people, which is intuitive and surprising.

Sustainable packaging can’t be without sustainable contents. Some raw materials of cosmetics will pollute or destroy the ecological environment. Beauty must be at the expense of the ecological environment-this is definitely what consumers don’t want to see.

Therefore, Yixian formulated and disclosed the Requirements for the Control of Raw Materials, explicitly prohibiting the use of raw materials that are carcinogenic, reproductive toxic, skin irritating and harmful to the environment, and strictly controlling the use of regulated raw materials to ensure the safety of products to the human body and the environment. At the same time, the group strictly abides by the "Regulations on the Management of Cosmetic Labeling" and fully displays the product ingredients to consumers.

"Sustainable raw materials" can also become the core tonality of the brand. For example, the core product of Wan Zi, a young skin care brand owned by Yixian, pursues botanical ingredients, without pigment, alcohol and preservatives, and makes "sustainability" a value that consumers really feel.

All consumer goods interpret what is "product responsibility" in their own ways, so that consumers can feel that their needs are fully respected while using the products.

For domestic beauty products, the topic of "responsible products" in ESG has a different meaning.In the initial development stage of "the rise of new domestic products", domestic beauty products left consumers with a heavy impression of value and marketing. Enriching R&D and doing a good job of product inclusion have become the most practical embodiment of "responsible products" of domestic beauty products.

The research and development system of Yixian e-commerce is an open research and development system called Open Lab. The "openness" of the system lies in that Yixian E-commerce integrates the R&D capabilities of itself and cooperative research institutions, and includes the world’s top partners in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, such as raw materials, R&D and production.

In 2022, the improvement of Yixian’s R&D capability will make the Group more confident to carry out high-quality transformation.In June 2022, Yixian’s R&D center in Guangzhou was officially recognized by China National Accreditation Committee for Conformity Assessment.(CNAS)Laboratory accreditation certificate issued by. At the same time, the group began to build a large-scale new R&D center in Shanghai, and has jointly organized the Yixian-Ruijin Medical Skin Care Joint Laboratory with Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. On the whole, the Group will build another R&D center in Shanghai.

In 2022, the R&D investment of Yixian E-commerce exceeded 130 million, accounting for 3.4% of the revenue, and its expense ratio ranked first in the industry. By December 31, 2022, Yixian e-commerce had applied for 174 patents worldwide, of which 43 were invention patents.(Some are in the process of transfer).

The research and development achievements of Open Lab continuously support the brand of the Group to launch new potential products. For example, the targeted red repairing technology developed by Yixian and the National Nano-drug Engineering Technology Research Center, Jandard Skin successfully launched the triple repairing essence of Darskin in 2022, and achieved good performance during the Double Eleven last year.

At the end of 2022, Yixian cooperated with Sun Yat-sen University to establish a joint laboratory for accurate research on skin health, which is expected to help Yixian expand its territory on new tracks such as anti-aging and probiotics.

R&D efforts will help the group to climb new technological peaks from the real needs of consumers. The persistence of "responsible products" not only reshapes the research and development of enterprises, but also reshapes the marketing of enterprises at the other end.

In order to implement the principle of responsible marketing, Yixian has set up a strict internal audit mechanism for advertising. The advertising information of products needs to go through four audits to ensure the truthfulness, accuracy, legality and compliance of advertisements.

Also from the standpoint of product responsibility, Yixian also started consumer education on safe makeup and scientific skin care, and added the functions of beauty cosmetics and skin care consultants to the highly sophisticated customer service work, so that the customer service team can scientifically recommend the most suitable products according to the needs of consumers.

On the other hand, the era of seizing the market only by product aesthetics and marketing is gone forever.

In addition to some improvements that can be intuitively seen by the market, the corporate behavior level of Yixian E-commerce has also been evaluated as industry-leading by MSCI. This essentially requires the Group to control risks, comply with regulations, and maintain the integrity of employees in a huge supply chain system and customer service system.

But these are still the "technical" aspects of corporate governance. On the "Dao" level, Yixian E-commerce has launched a new five-year strategy since 2022, cultivating brand matrix, creating a second curve on skin care brands, and building the Group’s R&D and value creation capabilities.

ESG is an effective reference for enterprises to think about their own development motivation and quality. Yixian e-commerce has obtained an A rating in MSCI ESG, and has been well received in some key tasks-But this rating is not an end in itself.The transformation of the Group has just started, so we need to think about the focus of sustainable development in the dynamic.

After the initial exploration in 2021 and 2022, the Group became more aware of the priorities of different sustainable issues and began to put forward some new priorities. For example, in Yixian’s ESG, the emphasis on labor management, data protection, diversity and tolerance has been strengthened, while the core concern on chemical safety has been retained, reflecting Yixian’s strategic judgment on product responsibility and team building.

As we have seen before, every ESG and sustainable development issue, if enterprises think thoroughly enough and have positive value propositions, can often fall into specific development and product strategies. Just as Yixian’s persistence in sustainable products means that the group will be guided by "clean beauty"(Clean Beauty)The concept continues to create environmentally friendly and skin-friendly products, and thus enrich the image of its brands.

So what is the relationship between ESG and brand value building? ESG topic is a set of sustainable development requirements based on industry commonness. Based on these requirements, enterprises can still put forward their own unique ideas and strategies. Then, what really touches customers,It may also come from a flash of inspiration from R&D personnel, a sincere sharing by Xiao Wanzi, a story behind a sustainable component, and so on.

Why is it more and more difficult for beauty brands to be "new"?

Source: bof

The beauty industry has always relied on a steady stream of products to attract consumers. However, the epidemic is causing the supply chain and product testing to lag, which makes it more difficult for them to launch new products.

New york, USA-The "latest products" area on the shelves in the beauty shop may soon be empty.

Beauty brands and retailers have been relying on a steady stream of products to attract consumers to shop in stores and e-commerce platforms. However, many so-called "new products" were actually put into production before the epidemic. Experts believe that once these products are exhausted, the negative impact of the epidemic will be highlighted, and every link in the supply chain of the beauty industry will have different chaotic problems such as shortage of key raw materials, insufficient packaging and even blocked research and development process.

Therefore, although major brands may be eager to launch new products suitable for the epidemic situation, such as moisturizing cream for "mask skin" and skin care products that can soothe the face or reduce blue light damage, it is not easy to ensure that the supply chain can keep up. Many companies are focusing on maintaining the inventory of existing products.

"From the perspective of product development and release, the growth momentum of beauty cosmetics has definitely weakened compared with the past few years," said Daniel Granatell, managing director of Grant Industries, which develops and produces personal care products.Most brands are still producing core or popular products, and their focus is on continuing existing products rather than developing new products or innovating growth models.. "

Many beauty companies have postponed the launch of new products until 2021, which means that the most eye-catching new product launch will miss the key year-end shopping season. Jessica Richards, founder of Shen Beauty, a retailer focusing on emerging luxury brands, said that most of the press conferences she had hoped to hold had been cancelled.

During the epidemic, brands that want to introduce new products to consumers have to be creative. Researchers are looking for new ways to use raw materials from traditional formulas, such as adding a new fragrance full of "tropical flavor" to the existing shower gel series to help realize the creativity of new products. It is also one of the ways to introduce "new" products without purchasing new raw materials, updating product formulas or expanding products in existing series.

Other companies are changing the way they produce and package their products. Retrouvé, a skin care brand, chose to break away from convention. When Dermal Defense hand cream was launched, the cumbersome outer packaging was cancelled and the inner packaging was streamlined. "My new slogan is,’ Get things done,’" said Jami Morse Heidegger, co-founder of the brand.

Problems in the supply chain

Forced isolation and consumer demand for sterilization products have had an unparalleled impact on the beauty supply chain. Take packaging containers as an example: Charlene Valledor, chairman and product development director of SOS Beauty, a beauty brand incubation company, said that when all retailers are rushing to put hand sanitizer into production, there will be a shortage of containers such as pressing pumps and bottles for other products.

The epidemic also affected the growth and cultivation of many raw materials.

The COVID-19 outbreak this spring disrupted the cultivation of many special raw materials for high-performance beauty products., "said Jared Reynolds, a beauty chemist who is also the founder of Zenagen and Actiiv, the anti-hair loss brands. He explained that this has had a domino effect on companies that now find themselves forced to strive for a stable supply chain, especially those suppliers from China and Europe, who are facing a longer delivery cycle due to travel restrictions and related import and export agreements.

For example, some of Zenagen’s products use a green tea extract from Asia. "Because the supplier was forced to stop production, it could not continue production. When the factory resumed processing and manufacturing, its production cycle was tripled, "Reynolds said.

Other links in the manufacturing industry have also been affected. Earlier this year, Joanna Vargas had trouble purchasing accessories for her face massager under the skin care brand of the same name. She had to postpone the product release for three months to avoid looking for a new supplier.

"Relationships with manufacturers, suppliers and partners are very important to us," she said. "We don’t want to turn to new business partners just to speed up profits for a month or two."

Try to get through it

Big brands have certain advantages in today’s supply chain shortage. They have a better ability to pay higher raw material prices, and they can jump to the forefront of manufacturers’ cooperation teams by placing a large number of orders.

In addition, they usually have more opportunities for cooperation. Christine Hall, vice president of R&D department of Estée lauder, said that Aveda, a subsidiary of the group, has arranged a new product release plan for the next 12 months, which also gives the brand more room for manoeuvre. She said, "We are also striving for more time to finish the work", so that Aveda can ensure the orderly development of new products.

But small brands are also more flexible to some extent. When Seen, a hair care brand, couldn’t get enough press pumps for its shampoo and conditioner, it temporarily decided to switch to a different color press pump. A larger company may not be able to make this change so soon.

Brands that have completed their purchases at home have also gained the upper hand. Bradley Ryan, founder of men’s beauty brand Undercover Man, attributed his recent success to the use of pomegranate oil and beeswax purchased locally.

Credo also doesn’t think its new product launch activities will decrease in the next few months. This is partly because this retailer only sells "clean" and sustainable beauty brands, which Annie Jackson, its founder and chief operating officer, calls "flexible" because these brands don’t rely on fancy packaging design, and they "tend to purchase in China, without considering long-term transportation delivery and other constraints from the epidemic".

The number of tests is reduced.

Product testing is another obstacle that needs to be overcome. Products must meet the safety standards before they are officially listed. For example, the slogan "90% of product users think their fine lines have decreased" requires clinical trials, but the efficiency of these tests has slowed down due to the outbreak of the epidemic.

This means that brands will have to wait longer to publicize the benefits of their new products, which is particularly difficult for the skin care industry.Because many brands take the commitment to quality innovation as their key selling point.

"Most third-party testing institutions have been closed, and the testing institutions that are still operating in the United States need to queue up for a long time to make an appointment," said Tamerri Ater, product development director of Versed Skin Care. "We have found a spare testing institution and tried our best to shorten the testing cycle accordingly."

The above problems also caused Ron Robinson, a cosmetics chemist and founder of BeautyStat, to feel "frustrated" when he launched a new product in early June and failed to conduct clinical trials to prove its efficacy.

"Before the release of the product, we have completed the safety test and internal performance test, so we know that the product is safe and effective ….. but we also hope to be verified by a third party," said Robinson, who completed a four-week test for 31 subjects at the end of July, and wrote in the information description of the product: "90% of crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles seem to have improved."

A turning point is coming.

Experts believe that with the epidemic under control, most of these problems can be solved. The sales boom of some products may also stimulate investment in resources needed to accelerate supply chain development.

Dan Langer, chairman of the hair care brand R+Co, said: "People’s interest in health, personal care and sustainability is rising again, and I think we will see real innovation in this industry next year."

Vargas predicts that the slowdown in R&D business will eventually recover, and before that, the whole industry can barely survive. "Now is not the time to introduce new products on a large scale for marketing," she said. "I think products with good quality, high efficiency and simple use will eventually stand out."

Beauty cosmetics or become the next dark horse of Russian e-commerce

According to YooKassa data, in 2022, the sales of Russian beauty cosmetics e-commerce reached 38.35 billion rubles (about 3.9 million US dollars), and the share of beauty and health products in the Russian e-commerce market accounted for 7.7%, ranking the top five in sales.

Prior to this, Russia’s beauty market was mainly occupied by some European and American brands, including Estée Lauder, Fa, Palmolive, Lush, NYX, Kiehl’s, Wella, Guerlain, Dior and so on. As we all know, since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2022, the West has imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia, and a large number of companies have withdrawn.

This phenomenon has led to a large number of gaps in the beauty market, providing opportunities for other brands and emerging enterprises to enter the market. For example, China’s beauty brand Perfect Diary has emerged in the Russian market, and its market share is growing. In addition, Russian local brands such as Henney and Svoboda have also gained some recognition in the domestic market.

The Russian beauty market is in a reshuffle period, with new and old brands alternating. Russia did not encounter the economic avalanche as expected by the west, but lived well. The Russian beauty market is expected to expand further. If you are a cross-border e-commerce company doing beauty categories, you can consider it.

Table tennis World Cup: The schedule will be announced on December 5th! The list of the top 8 was born, and Japan faced a strong enemy.

On December 5th, Beijing time, the Chengdu Table Tennis Team World Cup is about to usher in the second competition day, and the first stage of the competition will also end on this day. The list of the top eight will be ready, and the competition will be more intense!

At present, the China team swept Sweden with an 8-0 victory in the first game, and the next day it will play against the remaining China and Puerto Rico teams in Group A, so it is unlikely to be upset. And next, Japan will encounter an opponent with good strength, that is, the French team with lebrun brothers, Yuan Jianan and others as the backbone, or a fierce battle will break out. Wonderful is worthy of attention! See below for more details.

On the first day of the World Cup, all teams were gradually adapting to the latest 8-win system in 15 games, and most of the top teams won the final victory. The four top seed teams-China, German, Japanese and Korean-all passed the test smoothly, and Guoping even scored a disparity of 8-0. The only surprise was that the Hong Kong team in China lost 7-8 to Puerto Ricans.

Next, Guoping will play against China at 13:00 p.m. and Puerto Rico at 19:00 p.m. on December 5, among which Huang Zhen Ting, Du Kaiyu and A Diaz are undoubtedly the most difficult to deal with, but the main players of Guoping are in an advantage after all, and the probability of winning is obviously higher.

A duel that also started at 13:00 is even more noteworthy, that is, Japan VS France. Friends who are concerned about table tennis know that the French team has made great progress in recent years. A pair of brothers Alex lebrun and Felix lebrun, born after 00, have reached the world-class level, and Yuan Jianan, a woman, has also won Manyu Wang and Ito Meicheng.

Although the French team suffered some losses in the women’s line in this competition, the strength of the men’s line is even worse than that of Japan. If we can break through Zhang Benzhihe and Yukosuke, and the women’s extraordinary performance, we may not be able to bring this formidable enemy down, which is worth looking forward to!

In addition to France, Japan will also play against the United States at 19:00 pm, and the pressure of this game will be much less. However, Zhang An on the other side is in full swing, and he has won Hirano Miwoo before, so it may not be impossible to break through the defense line of the island country again.

There are too many table tennis masters who have not signed up for this competition, so the gold content has declined slightly. However, most of the main players from China, Japan and South Korea have already participated in the war, and the French, China and Hongkong teams are also the best. Generally speaking, there is still some competition. So which eight teams can reach the second stage? Suspense still exists, let’s wait and see: Come on, China!
