    L’Oréal, KÉRASTASE open their flagship store in Hong Kong

    Hong Kong’s stylish hotspot Fashion Walk proudly announces the arrival of SkinCeuticals and KÉRASTASE – two of L’Oréal Hong Kong’s leading beauty brands, introducing a unique all-in-one beauty ritual that tends to your retail, cosmetic and haircare needs. With SkinCeuticals’ global first one-stop skincare flagship store and KÉRASTASE’s haircare concept store, Fashion Walk launches the beauty hub – a cosmetics mecca that is set to transform fashionistas’ beauty experience.

    Ms. Bella Chhoa, Director of Leasing & Management of Hang Lung Properties, describes the addition of SkinCeuticals and KÉRASTASE as the birth of a “Beauty Revolution”.

    “It is a real pleasure to have SkinCeuticals and KÉRASTASE – the two top beauty brands of L’Oréal Hong Kong – join us in Fashion Walk. Causeway Bay is a magnet for trendsetters, yet we all know how scarce retail spaces are right here. At its prime location in the area, Fashion Walk is obviously the hub of international fashion labels. Last year, we extended our partnerships with a number of cosmetics brands. This year, we’ll keep up with the strategic effort. Our brand new beauty hub promises to bring an unprecedented beauty experience to all stylish minds in town.”

    Ms. Eva Yu, President & Managing Director of L’Oréal Hong Kong, also envisions a new chapter in the cosmetics industry prompted by SkinCeuticals’ one-stop skincare flagship store and KÉRASTASE’s haircare concept store at beauty hub.

    “L’Oréal Hong Kong endlessly looks for retail spaces of development potential. The two stores in Fashion Walk feature an exclusive studio for customers to try out every stroke, swipe and dab, which guarantees a one-of-a-kind experience. We’ll put down a remodeling budget of almost ten million dollars to ensure that our customers will revel in the brand new stores.”

    Located in the heart of Causeway Bay, Fashion Walk boasts an occupancy rate of over 95%, housing the flagship stores and concept stores of an impressive array of international chic labels, including the two beauty trailblazers.

    Founded in the USA, SkinCeuticals is guided by its unparalleled Integrated Skincare philosophy that aims to promote and improve skin health. Its first-ever flagship store in Fashion Walk also pledges to provide customers with a range of skin health restoration plans that combine the most trusted dermatological innovations and cosmetological aids.

    French hair and scalp care expert KÉRASTASE has earned its recognition in the field thanks to its commitment to hair care since its founding in 1964. Its concept store in Fashion Walk not only offers a wide selection of cutting-edge products, but also an original mode of retail with hair treatment services in a soothing environment. The professional guidance of KÉRASTASE haircare consultants and bespoke treatments will surely satisfy customers’ desire for exceptional hair.

    Global duty free retailing to hit US$98 billion

    Global duty-free retailing is expected to reach nearly US$98 billion in revenue by 2019, according to a new study by global technology research and advisory company Technavio.

    With the expansion of low-cost airlines, many middle-class travellers are taking inexpensive holidays, a trend that has helped the Asia Pacific and Middle East emerge as the fastest-growing regions for duty-free retail marketing, says Technavio analyst Vijay Sarathi.

    He says China, India, Indonesia, South Korea and Sri Lanka were among some of the most-desired inexpensive destinations in 2014.

    “During the same period, it is estimated that international tourist inflow in APAC increased to almost 263 million travellers, and it has largely helped the market grow until 2019.”

    Just released in London, Technavio’s report, Global Duty-Free Retailing Market 2015-2019, provides an in-depth analysis of market growth in terms of revenue and emerging market trends.

    By products, the global duty-free retailing market for 2014 comprised fashion accessories and hard luxury (32.1 per cent), perfume and cosmetics (29.21 per cent), wines and spirits (16.02 per cent), tobacco (12.43 cent), and confectionery and fine food (10.25 per cent), says the report.
    It says the fashion, accessories and hard luxury segment was valued at close to $20.81 billion, with the most in-demand products including precious jewellery, briefcases, handbags and shoes. The more popular brands include Armani, Burberry, Fossil, Gucci and Michael Kors.
    Technavio researchers say Chinese travellers emerged as the largest consumers of luxury brands last year, contributing nearly 25 per cent of global revenue.
    The perfumes and cosmetics segment is one of the fastest-growing categories in the global duty-free retailing market. APAC and the Middle East are the key regions for this category, with some of the top-selling brands including Chanel, Christian Dior, Estee Lauder and Guerlain.

    With close to 21.5 per cent of revenue share in the category, L’Oreal created a division especially for duty-free stores in 2013, describing the division as “the sixth continent”. In 2014, L’Oréal launched theVichy and Kerastase brands in the duty-free retail segment in Asia, and also launched the Three-Minute Beauty program to engage with potential luxury product buyers at airports.
    The liquor category is expected to grow to $13.47 billion in 2019. In 2014, Diageo opened two Johnnie Walker Houses in duty-free shops in India and Taiwan.
