Hi everyone — was not able to find much information about this online or on other forums here. Is there a specific ib group that does a lot in the beauty / skincare / fashion space? It’s a huge industry, but I don’t neccesarily see it as a sub vertical in a lot of groups. Could anyone chime in about this? I’m super interested and would like to pursue opportunities to work with these types of clients. Thanks!

Financo does a lot of beauty / fashion / lifestyle M&A. PWP also has a strong beauty practice (see deals with Estee Lauder).
consumer retail. specifically, it is a subvertical within consumer.
A lot of places call the specific sector the beauty and personal care space within CRG
Look at Michel Dyens
Intrepid in LA does a lot of them.
Intrepid, Piper, Goldman, Jefferies all have dedicated beauty bankers
Thanks - helpful Bc was looking mainly at bb or eb with dedicated teams to cover
Could anyone else comment on the strength of these industries at BBs? Or GS, etc?
ayeeee same - worked at Sephora the past year just so I could observe the brands I love in real time! So happy other potential ibers are interested in this space and I’m not crazy haha but Jeffries gs (too faced, Charlotte tilbury) citi (on LVMH/Tiffany deal) financo JPM are the names I see a lot on my favorite ones
GS, JPM, PWP, and Centerview are all quite strong in the beauty and personal care sector.
Beauty is a vertical in Consumer. No clear leader in the space, all the above are strong + Lazard (did SkinBetter Science recently and deals with L'Oréal / Natura etc in the past)
Fashion is very different - GS, RTH , LAZ all strong, French & Italian angle is important here
Well, to pursue opportunities to work with clients in these industries, you may want to consider networking with professionals. Try to research investment banks or private equity firms that have worked with beauty companies in the past. Besides, there are industry conferences and events focused on beauty, skincare, and fashion that may be useful. Some examples include Cosmoprof, New York Fashion Week, and Raw Beauty Aesthetics's events. Overall, it's important to research and stay informed about the specific needs of companies in these industries. Place yourself as a valuable resource for potential clients.
