The KNOW Women The ONLY global female collaborative that elevates women through business to their next level

Purely Elizabeth just sold for $800 million — to Ferrero. The same company that makes Nutella and Kinder eggs.

Elizabeth Stein spent 15 years building a brand women trusted because of what was in it. That’s not an accident. That’s the whole strategy.

The acquisition is a win on paper. The question worth asking is what happens after the deal closes — because the pattern of female-founded wellness brands getting acquired and then diluted is real, and it’s documented. Seventh Generation. Sweet Earth. Honest Tea.

$800M is proof the category is real. It just doesn’t tell us what the brand will be in five years.

Worth watching.

e.l.f. Beauty and Parity surveyed 9,500 women across four countries. The single strongest predictor of career success wasn’t the school, the degree, or the industry.

It was high school sports.

Women who played organized sports for three or more years before finishing high school are 50% more likely to hold leadership positions, 37% more likely to aspire to the top — and 25% more likely to have negotiated their own salary.

90% of the ones who got promoted credited sports with getting them there.

This isn’t a sports story. It’s a leadership story. And it has serious implications for every woman building something, leading something, or raising someone who will.

We’re building two new sections of the Fashion Issue — and we’re casting now.

WHO’S DRESSING YOU. Stylists: one theme we assign, one full-page look you style. Your name, your story, and your work on the page.

COMPLETE THE LOOK. Accessory brand founders: your headshot in the grid, your best sellers in a curated half-page collage.

Limited slots available — max 12 per section.

Tag your stylist. Tag the brand you can’t leave the house without. And if that’s you — DM us to be considered.

Selections close October 5.

The best-dressed women have someone behind the look. We want to know her.
