After promising last June at the opening of its first Lisbon store that Porto would be its next focus, Occasion2Smile — which offers more than 20 South Korean cosmetics brands — has now opened in Porto, bringing its total number of physical stores in Portugal to two in just three months. From October 10 to 12, Occasion2Smile will also participate in Beauty in Town (BiT), the beauty market held at NorteShopping.
In March 2024, siblings Inês and Rodrigo Melo Moreira launched the Occasion2Smile online store, available at Occasion2smile.com/pt, with the support of their father, a lawyer, and their mother, an accountant.
Thanks to TikTok, the brand grew rapidly, opening two brick-and-mortar stores dedicated exclusively to K-beauty this year in Portugal’s main cities: the first in June on Rua de Entrecampos in Lisbon, and the second in September on Rua da Constituição in Porto.
Among the best-selling South Korean brands at Occasion2Smile are ANUA, Haruharu Wonder and SKIN1004, alongside other highly coveted names such as Beauty of Joseon, COSRX, Round Lab and Medicube.
The retailer also offers a selection of emerging products that are still little known in the West, including the award-winning 1025 Dokdo Toner by Round Lab; donkey milk-based products from Selenus, SKYMILK and Tovegan; a line featuring integrated microneedling technology from VT Cosmetics; Dr. Althea’s 345 Relief Cream regenerating gel-cream, designed to treat blemishes; and Aromatica’s Quinoa Protein Shampoo, which helps repair hair damaged by the loss of the Cell Membrane Complex (CMC).
Some of its current bestsellers include Tirtir’s foundation and Tfit’s body-care products.
These natural formulas — known for cleansing and moisturizing the skin, providing sun protection and reducing signs of aging, wrinkles, blemishes and acne — also stand out for their sophisticated packaging and wide range of high-quality products.

PVH Corp. announced on Wednesday the appointment of Patricia Gabriel to the role of chief supply chain officer and global head of operations as the owner of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger reshuffles its leadership.
Gabriel will succeed David Savman, who will now focus on his role as global brand president, Calvin Klein. She will join the New York-based company in the fourth quarter and report directly to Stefan Larsson, CEO of PVH Corp, based out of its New York City office.
In her new role, Gabriel will oversee the fashion firm’s global operations from product to consumer, working closely with brands, regions and functions to drive PVH’s operations.
“In Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, PVH has two of the most iconic and globally beloved brands, and I’m incredibly excited to join at this important moment in the company’s growth journey,” said Gabriel. “Operational excellence and supply chain optimization will be true competitive advantages that fuel growth and innovation.”
A supply and operations veteran more than 25 years of experience leading supply, manufacturing and logistics, Gabriel joins PVH from Capri Holdings, where she most recently served as chief supply chain officer for Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, and Versace. Prior to Capri, the executive has worked at Mondelez International and AB InBev, in various role leading supply chain optimization, omnichannel fulfillment and network design across Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia.
“Patricia is a consumer-focused supply chain and operations leader with a strong track record of fueling growth through consumer-centric operational excellence,” said Stefan Larsson, CEO of PVH Corp.
“As we execute our multi-year journey to build Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger into the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world, Patricia’s deep expertise and proven ability to unlock value through demand- and data-driven solutions will create new opportunities to further accelerate our PVH+ Plan progress.”
In its most recent trading update, PVH said Calvin Klein brand revenue for the quarter ended Aug. 3 rose 5% from a year earlier to $980 million, surpassing estimates. Tommy Hilfiger revenue climbed 4% to $1.1 billion for the period — also better than expected.
Sales growth was strongest in the Americas region, surging 11%. In the region that includes Europe, PVH’s most important market, sales rose 3%. Asia Pacific revenue fell 1%, with PVH citing “a challenging consumer environment” in China and the region.

Canadian luxury outerwear and ready-to-wear brand Moose Knuckles launched on Tuesday its latest capsule collection in collaboration with the National Hockey League (NHL).
The capsule introduces exclusive sub-collections dedicated to four NHL franchises — the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, and Toronto Maple Leafs — each reimagined through Moose Knuckles’ design codes.
Blending performance luxury with a fashion-first edge, the Moose Knuckles x NHL capsule includes bombers, beanies, long sleeve shirts, as well as co-branded items like hockey bags and caps.
“Hockey is in our DNA. Partnering with the NHL lets us channel that heritage into pieces that honor the sport while pushing style forward,” said Ellen Kinney, CEO of Moose Knuckles. “This capsule celebrates the energy of the game, the passion of the fans, and the bold spirit of Moose Knuckles.”
The launch is part of the brands’ multi-year partnership established in 2024, and follows successful capsules celebrating the Winter Classic and the 2025 Four Nations Face Off.
The collection is now available online, in select Moose Knuckles retail stores, and at participating NHL arenas.

The gross profit margin expanded to 48.3 per cent, an improvement of 90 basis points (bps) compared with Q4 FY24. The adjusted EBITDA increased to €16.1 million, with margins improving to 6.5 per cent from 4.7 per cent.
LuxExperience BV has reported FY25 results with Mytheresa net sales up 11.5 per cent in Q4 to €248.9 million (~$291.2 million) and 8.9 per cent annually to €916.1 million (~$1.07 billion).
GMV rose 11.1 per cent in Q4 and 8.2 per cent for the year, while adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to €44.6 million.
The group advanced reorganisation post-YNAP acquisition and expects FY26 to be a transition year.
Customer economics were strong, with GMV per customer up 13 per cent and top customer GMV increasing 16.1 per cent compared with Q4 FY24. The average order value climbed 10 per cent to €773, while the US market contributed 20.6 per cent of total net sales following 9.7 per cent growth, LuxExperience said in a press release.
For the full fiscal, Mytheresa achieved net sales of €916.1 million (~$1.07 billion), up 8.9 per cent compared with FY24, while GMV grew 8.2 per cent to €988.5 million. The gross profit margin improved to 47 per cent, an increase of 130 basis points. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled YoY to €44.6 million from €25.8 million, with profitability rising to 4.9 per cent from 3.1 per cent in FY24.
“I am extremely pleased with the results of our Mytheresa business. We have demonstrated clear operational and financial leadership in digital luxury. We have the expertise and track-record of achieving consistently profitable growth in digital luxury at LuxExperience,” said Michael Kliger, CEO at LuxExperience.
At the group level, LuxExperience nearly completed its reorganisation into a new operating model, initiating cost reduction measures, tech migration, and transformation of finance and HR functions, alongside partial workforce cuts at YNAP.
Mytheresa launched exclusive capsule collections with brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Bottega Veneta, while hosting premium customer events worldwide. At Net-A-Porter and MR Porter, new leadership teams were appointed to strengthen strategy. Meanwhile, Yoox and The Outnet began separating their business models from luxury operations, with dedicated leadership and streamlined functions in finance, HR, operations, and technology.
Looking ahead, LuxExperience expects FY26 to be a transition year, with GMV projected between €2.5 billion and €2.9 billion and an adjusted EBITDA margin ranging between -4 per cent and +1 per cent. Mytheresa is forecast to maintain its growth trajectory, while Net-A-Porter and Mr Porter may see slight GMV declines, and Yoox and The Outnet will continue restructuring efforts.
“LuxExperience is in a remarkable position to become the one and only destination for luxury enthusiasts worldwide, bringing together some of the most iconic brands in digital luxury retail. I am very pleased with the fast start of the group transformation to leverage the scale and scope for strong growth and profitability for the whole group,” added Kligner. “Medium-term we expect to reach €4 billion in net sales and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 7 per cent to 9 per cent. LuxExperience expects to generate significant value for our customers, brand partners, and shareholders going forward.”
