Rhode to riches: what Hailey’s $1B exit means for Gen Z beauty

Happy Friday! With Future+ events on the horizon, I’m gearing up for a busy June! I’ve also just had a sneak peak demo into a very exciting new fashion AI startup, still in stealth and couldn’t be more excited or blown away by what’s coming that will revolutionise how we shop online. Watch this space for more!

In this issue, Shopify’s new AI tool builds online stores from just a few keywords, the New York Times has struck an AI content deal with Amazon, and e.l.f. Beauty has acquired Hailey Bieber’s Rhode in a $1 billion move. We’re also looking at Opera’s AI browser that works while you sleep, and how the WNBA is working on fashion partnerships to fuel its cultural rise.
