Kering SA is in talks to sell its beauty business to L’Oréal SA in a deal worth about $4 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The deal could be announced as soon as next week, the newspaper added, citing people familiar with the matter.
The potential sale comes as Kering’s new Chief Executive Luca de Meo seeks to turn around the luxury house’s fortunes, following a slump in Chinese demand and the threat of higher US tariffs.
The owner of fashion brands including Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga launched its beauty division in 2023. The company declined to comment on the report when contacted by Bloomberg News.
L’Oréal offers a range of beauty products, including L’Oréal, Garnier and Maybelline New York, and the deal could add cologne maker Creed to the mix.
The initiative lays out a robust project pipeline exceeding ₹1,800 billion (~$21.6 billion) for the period 2026-2047.
India’s Gujarat state has unveiled its Integrated Logistics Master Plan, along with logistics plans for four cities.
The initiative lays out a project pipeline exceeding $21.6 billion for the period 2026-2047.
The priority areas include logistics parks, multimodal hubs and freight terminals; enhanced port-led and industrial corridor connectivity; streamlined urban freight and last-mile delivery systems.
The plans were officially launched during the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conclave (VGRC) held in Rajkot, the Gujarat Infrastructure Development Board announced on LinkedIn.
The Integrated Logistics Master Plan provides a long-term, multimodal framework aimed at enhancing efficiency across road, rail, port, air and warehousing networks.
The initiative is designed to reduce logistics costs, strengthen supply chain resilience and support the state’s growing industrial and export ecosystem, in line with national logistics reforms and the PM Gati Shakti initiative.
The CLPs aim at tackling urban freight challenges, including congestion, last-mile connectivity, land use optimisation and environmental sustainability.
City-specific interventions are planned to improve freight movement within municipal limits while ensuring smooth economic activity and better quality of life for residents.
The priority areas of the ILMP and CLPs include development of logistics parks, multimodal hubs and freight terminals; enhanced port-led and industrial corridor connectivity; streamlined urban freight and last-mile delivery systems; digital integration and data-driven logistics planning; and promotion of sustainable and low-emission logistics solutions.

Wales Bonner has launched its lookbook for Autumn Winter 2026, shot by Malick Bodian. Exploring the romance of harmony, Wales Bonner reimagines classic uniforms through a sensuous, poetic lens.
Inspired by an elemental simplicity, Wales Bonner presents design classics including suits, polo silhouettes, top coats, and chore jackets, reimagined through the label’s signature European heritage meets Afro Atlantic lens, for its Autumn Winter 2026 collection ‘Morning Raga.’ Driven by the pursuit of harmony in modernist architectural traditions, both men’s and women’s looks feature nostalgic tailoring and a subtle blend of textures, from Italian wool and satin to leather and metal studs.
“From early design ideals of purity to the bold vision of figures like Indian architect Balkrishna Doshi, the collection presents a wardrobe between the practical and the sensual,” the brand announced in a press release.
The almost liminal set was designed by Jabez Bartlett and looks were styled by Tom Guinness. Jonny Lu Studio’s art direction continued the dreamy atmosphere of the campaign as models cast by Rachel Chandler pose in contemplative stances.
Grace Wales Bonner launched her eponymous label in 2014, following her graduation from Central Saint Martins in London, and she won the LVMH Young Designer Prize in 2016. Wales Bonner was named as Hermès’ creative director of menswear in October last year.

LA’s garment industry enters 2026 amid disruption and cautious revival.
Immigration raids, rising costs and sustainability rules continue to strain factories, while tariffs and supply-chain risks are driving limited reshoring.
Any rebound is likely to be selective, centred on specialised and higher-value production rather than a return to mass manufacturing.
