Is Estée Lauder Courting Balmain?

Reports circulate that the two are in discussions about a beauty line.

Reports are circulating that The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) is in discussions with Balmain to create a beauty brand with the French luxury fashion house.

If the alliance comes to fruition, it wouldn’t be the Paris-based fashion house’s foray into the world of beauty; Balmain’s stable currently includes haircare products and accessories.

Balmain was founded in 1945.

There have been recent reports that ELC, ranked No. 2  in Happi’s 2022 Top 50 Report, may acquire Tom Ford.
