Name required. Email required. Fabrice Penot, the French founder of the now Lauder-owned Le Labo , a boutique company specializing in personal scents, remembers Leonard's first visit to his downtown Manhattan store. Within minutes of sitting down with me in his office, William Lauder shares one of the principal drawbacks of running a publicly traded, family-controlled company: "When your largest shareholder has your home phone number and is not afraid to use it, it can be a life sentence if you're not careful.
At 56, William has the leading-man looks and laid-back temperament of his grandfather Joseph and his father's air of easy command; he also shares Leonard's impulse to reshape the business for the next generation. He's the one who pushed the company onto the internet MAC and Clinique now lead the beauty industry in online sales , and he insisted on stand-alone stores—temples, as he put it, where the consumer could see what the brand is about, without any intervention from department stores.
Origins, which was founded in , led the way in this subtle but fundamental transfer of power, and it resulted in greater leverage for the company. For a while his father seemed more interested in preserving what he had created than in enhancing it. Oh god. Yeah, okay. And I'm very, very good at calling him on his stuff. When William was CEO, he engineered a change that wound up capitalizing on his particular talents.
He initiated the executive search, originally for a chief operating officer, that landed Fabrizio Freda. And Fabrizio is more than happy to say, 'Please, you do that,' which is fine, because I don't have to do budget meetings anymore, all the stuff that Fabrizio does with aplomb. Such confidence and flexibility seem hard-wired into this dynasty.
They have all referred to differences of opinions, yet they seem to work out their disagreements—what William calls "food fights"—behind closed doors, long before these squabbles escalate into headline-grabbing conflicts or protracted legal struggles. You will be a good citizen. And you will have a mission in your life. You're not gonna eat bonbons and collect money. Leonard says her idea of a little something for the train ride to sleepaway camp was 15 sandwiches packed in a Bergdorf Goodman box.
In addition to regularly worrying "whether I was eating enough," says William, she partook in some helicopter grandparenting with his younger brother Gary during a spring break in Cannes. Jane finally agreed to fruit as a compromise.
But it was also part of her life. As a woman running her own company in the s, she nurtured out-of-town buyers, too, throwing sit-down lunches in her East 53rd Street office, using her own linens and silver and replacing the standard three martinis with fine wines served by white-gloved waiters.
The food was brought up from the Stork Club next door. At one point Aerin pulls a hand mirror out of her pocket that is identical to the one on display. I hope that generation four—our children—will find their own philanthropic missions, their own passions, and that they too will become happy and meaningful contributors.
That evening Aerin would win a Rising Star award from Fashion Group International for Aerin , her luxury lifestyle brand, which includes beauty, fashion accessories, and home decor.
Meanwhile, Jane—the little sister Aerin used to boss around—is now the global brand president of Clinique. I never did, because my mother said no. That kind of sums us up," Aerin says with amusement. A few days later Jane laughs at this hard-charging characterization. Ronald admits that his dual role—as chairman of Clinique and father of the current president—has its challenges, but it's a dance that "interestingly enough, I learned from my mother.
She would never impose herself.
