If you were the same age as Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe when you watched Friends on Must-See TV Thursday in the ‘90s, hi, you’re middle-aged. I still think of myself as Winona Ryder circa Reality Bites, but the reality is that I am Stranger Things Winona, a slightly frumpy, frenzied, and occasionally unhinged mom of young teens.

But what about Gen X’ers and our ever-deepening crow’s feet? As a result, the beauty industry generally takes Gen X for granted. I took an unscientific poll of 10 Gen X friends to ask them how they buy beauty and perceive beauty marketing. "I have no brand loyalty because I have no favorites," says Mary, 45.
Genbyg's indoor garden restaurant made of recycled materials. The centrepiece of this garden-inspired Nordic restaurant in Copenhagen is an indoor greenhouse that Danish design studio Genbyg has created using recycled materials (+ slideshow).
Called Väkst, the Danish word for growth, the restaurant serves a vegetable-based menu – something Genbyg was keen to represent through its design, by including natural materials and plenty of greenery. "The overall vision was to create a space with a design that reflects the Nordic kitchen and the dual atmosphere of a city and a garden," designer Rasmus Fex told Dezeen.
How Brexit may affect the British fashion industry. Ondon has been long considered one of the world’s fashion and financial capitals, as one of the world’s most creative and vibrant cities.
But what will the Brexit vote mean globally for “Brand Britain”? While facing reputational damage in Europe following the UK’s vote to exit the European Union, London’s perception as a cosmopolitan, multicultural hub has been dealt a second blow as the spate of racially motivated hate crimes make headlines around the world. London has garnered its reputation as a cool city because it is a place where worlds constantly collide – a city where the sari silk stores of Brick Lane rub up against the Savile Row-suited bankers of Bishopsgate. It is exciting because in a city of 8.5 million people, three million are foreign born, bringing together a diverse range of world views, to create new experiences and amazing products.
For brands trading on notions of Britishness – from Savile Row to Topshop, this once solid association is now less of a good bet. Blaming Baby Boomers for Brexit Is Just Wrong. The UK has voted to leave the European Union and the ramifications of that historic decision will be felt for years to come.
The immediate aftermath has already seen the resignation of a Prime Minster, a coup against the leader of the opposition that has pushed Labour into further turmoil, and the Liberal Democrats making it their position to overturn the result of the referendum. It has been a weekend of the long knives caused by stubby pencils. Britain's Brexit: How Baby Boomers Defeated Millennials in Historic Vote. LONDON — The United Kingdom's decision to sever itself from the European Union on Friday exposed something approaching an intergenerational war of ideas.
While the "Leave" campaign won the referendum with 51.9 percent of the vote, young people — the ones who will likely grapple with the decision for decades — overwhelmingly wanted to remain part of the EU. According to data gathered by the British pollster YouGov on election day, a staggering 75 percent of people aged between 18 and 24 voted for Remain. But this youthful bloc was outweighed by an even stronger force.

Marketing Report by Ellen Wray on Prezi. Mulberry: six reasons why the handbag maker has lost its magic. Mulberry's share price has slumped 42pc in the last year to 625p. So why has the luxury handbag maker struggled? Pricing Under the direction of former chief executive Bruno Guillon, who stepped down earlier this year, prices rose as the company sought to align itself with other luxury brands.
The price of the company’s best seller, the Bayswater handbag, rose from £695 to £895. Interim chief executive Godfrey Davis has since torn up that strategy, with further price increases being scrapped, and a renewed focus on selling bags between the £500 and £700 price range. Competition While the company is u-turning on price hikes, there are now many other firms making headway in the midrange luxury leather goods space, including brands such as Michael Kors and Longchamp.
