Kate Moss' Cosmoss Enters Liquidation
According to corporate filings, the company appointed liquidators on June 24, and filed to close its operations via the winding up process on June 25.
In its liquidation filing, the company declared it owed $4 million to creditors, including more than $3 million to Moss' talent agency, Kate Moss Agency. It last filed company accounts in 2023 with the UK's Companies House; it has never disclosed its revenue.
Originally founded in 2022, Cosmoss offered a range of perfumes, skincare and teas, ranging from $25 for tea to $155 for its Sacred Mist perfume. While Moss is a cultural icon and has been an ambassador for major brands including Calvin Klein and Diet Coke, she is famously private, rarely granting interviews – to some commentators, her public image was at odds with the brand's wellness aims.

The brand was marketed with homeopathic and spiritual claims, and was carried in Liberty London and Fenwick department stores.
Moss is the company's largest shareholder, alongside Warsaw Labs, a business incubator, the homeopath Victoria Young and other business partners.
Representatives for Moss did not respond to a request for comment.

Why Kate Moss Can Sell Diet Coke and Wellness
The model is better known for her hard living past than her taste in beauty products. But Moss's past aversion to self-promotion is potentially setting her new brand Cosmoss up for success, argues BoF beauty editor-at-large Rachel Strugatz.

7 major midlife diet mistakes that are 'sabotaging' your metabolism
Along with some suspect fashion trends (visible thongs and low-rise jeans), the nineties and noughties gave a lot of us questionable eating habits. In an effort to emulate the bodies of Kate Moss (skinny) and then Gisele (skinny with big boobs), lots of us adopted nutritionally inadvisable diets (cabbage soup) and embraced a world of rice cakes, calorie counting, zero-sugar sodas and low-fat everything. You may also like 15 minutes of walking a day will 'massively' help you lose weight How to restore strength and muscle in your 40s, 50s and 60s Why it really doesn't matter if you skipped your workout today – according to a PT Recently, I was on a health retreat with wellness influencers and journalists, women who have "glow with health" in their job description, and I was struck by how many of us were fighting against ingrained eating patterns, ones we have always believed are "good" and "slimming" but are actually unhealthy and can trigger weight gain. In reality In an illuminating one-to-one session with the nutritionist Rhian Stephenson, the founder of the supplement brand Artah and host of the retreat, she helped me see how many of my own habits were counterintuitive. And misery-making. She said: "Midlife women often adopt strategies that sabotage metabolism – using excessive artificial sweeteners, focusing on low-calorie, ultra-processed foods and remaining fearful of healthy fats." Here, Rhian shares seven mistakes that midlifers (OK, many of us) often make in our diets. Midlife diet mistakes 1. Skipping breakfast "If you allow yourself to get chronically hungry, this can elevate cortisol, which directly drives fat storage. Deprivation can also disrupt the signalling of ghrelin [the hunger hormone] and leptin [the satiety hormone], making it harder for you to recognise fullness and increasing cravings for high-sugar or high-fat foods. Getting ravenous can also activate a 'binge-restrict' loop, where extreme hunger post-fasting leads to loss of control around food and repeated overconsumption." 2. Crash dieting "Long-term chronic undereating can impede muscle mass, creating the opposite of the desired effect, because maintaining muscle mass is one of the most impactful things we can do to help with weight management or loss. Prolonged fasting also signals 'starvation mode' to the body, so it will reduce your metabolic rate and promote fat storage." 3. Eating fruit for breakfast "Fruit is a great source of micronutrients and fibre, but relying solely on it for breakfast can be counterproductive for weight loss in the long term. It can cause blood-sugar spikes that affect focus, energy and metabolism, creating energy crashes within hours and amplifying cravings and overeating later in the day. It also lacks protein, and over time, this habit could accelerate muscle loss." 4. Saving your calorie 'allowance' for the evening "Eating heavily late at night impairs fat metabolism and causes higher glucose spikes and lower insulin sensitivity than identical meals eaten earlier. It disrupts sleep, thanks to delayed melatonin release, which in turn elevates cortisol and the hunger hormone." 5. Believing "everything in moderation" "This statement discounts the fact that so many ultra-processed foods are designed specifically to be over-consumed, so it's impossible to be moderate. This also leads to binging and the idea that it's your will power that failed." 6. Double down on your diet when it doesn't work "We're unprepared for how much our metabolism changes over our lifetime, so we tend to overreact and try to be too restrictive or hardcore when what's worked previously doesn't anymore. This then leads to a cycle of imbalance." 7. Think alcohol doesn't count "I see a lot of women who are drinking too much alcohol in midlife – ten-plus units per week. This is counterproductive for weight management, and for every other aspect of long-term health when it comes to women."

Kai Trump teases the president in video promoting Accelerator energy drink: ‘Sorry grandpa'
First granddaughter and golf sensation Kai Trump teased her grandfather over his preferred caffeinated beverage in a video promoting her NIL deal with Accelerator Active Energy. In the ad, the 18-year-old rising high school senior and University of Miami golf commit slaps a wicked drive off a tee and then makes her way to the cart where a crispy looking can of Diet Coke — President Trump's go-to drink — and a can of the energy drink sit. 'Sorry grandpa,' Kai Trump said while choosing to sip from the Accelerator Active Energy drink. Advertisement 4 Kai Trump, 18, landed her first NIL sponsorship deal while still a rising high school senior. YouTube/Accelerator Active Energy Kai Trump announced her NIL deal with Accelerator earlier this month. 4 The advertisement pokes fun at President Trump's noted favorite beverage Diet Coke. YouTube/Accelerator Active Energy Advertisement The energy drink brand also has sponsorship deals with college gymnast and social media influencer Livvy Dune and Taylor Swift's boyfriend and Superbowl winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. 'It's pretty cool, especially being partners with such great athletes and being up there with them,' Kai Trump told Fox Business about the deal. The daughter of first son Donald Trump Jr. became a breakout star of the Republican National Convention last summer where she delivered a well-prepared speech to throngs of adoring GOPers. 4 'Sorry grandpa,' Kai jokes while taking a slug of the energy drink. YouTube/Accelerator Active Energy Advertisement Commenting on his daughter's popularity after the speech, Donald Trump Jr. said to Fox News last year, 'Get away, you little b-stards, and stay away.' Earlier this year, the teen opened up about life with a Secret Service detail. 'It's tough because you're in high school and you want to have your privacy,' the golf phenom said in a video posted to her YouTube page. Advertisement 'But I feel on matter what I'll probably never have the privacy as other kids my age so I kinda just have to deal with it,' she told her dad in the video. 4 President Trump was an inspiration for Kai Trump to pick up the golf clubs. AFP via Getty Images Last month, Secret Service agents arrested 23-year-old Anthony Thomas Reyes as he scaled the wall surrounding Mar-a-Lago — who told cops he was there because he wanted to marry Kai Trump.

5 things to know before the Wednesday open: Trade deal, egg prices, new member of memeland
Investors are turning their attention to earnings reports from Tesla and Alphabet due after the bell. They are the first megacap tech companies — a group that's been closely watched due to its market leadership in recent years — to release results this quarter. Tesla's report comes as traders continue assessing the business ramifications of CEO Elon Musk's political involvement. For those keeping score, it's the worst-performing "Magnificent Seven" stock so far this year. Meanwhile, investors are wondering what Google parent Alphabet will have to say, as the search and advertising landscape continues to shift amid the artificial intelligence boom. Big news on the tariff front: President Donald Trump announced what he called a "massive" trade deal with Japan on Tuesday. As part of the agreement, Trump said in a Truth Social post that there will be 15% "reciprocal" duties on Japan's goods, and that Japan will invest $550 billion into the U.S. The president said in the post that it was "perhaps the largest Deal ever made." The news comes ahead of the White House's Aug. 1 deadline for U.S. trading partners to start paying Trump's steep tariffs. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed before the bell on Wednesday, following the announcement. Follow live market updates here. Egg lovers who were left scrambling from shortages earlier this year should be able keep calm and carry on. Producer Cal-Maine said in its earnings report on Tuesday that its average number of laying hens in its fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 climbed 18% compared with the same period a year prior. What's more, Cal-Maine saw breeder flocks grow 48% at the end of the quarter versus a year ago, and the total number of chickens hatched during the three-month period jumped 56% year over year. While the Mississippi-based company acknowledged that future bird flu outbreaks — like the one that recently roiled supply — cannot be predicted, Cal-Maine said the data bodes well for shoppers hoping to see the staple food item on grocery store shelves. Over the last few days, the biggest companies in the soft drink industry have announced new offerings to woo increasingly health-conscious shoppers. The first headline came from PepsiCo, which on Monday shared plans to launch a prebiotic version of its namesake cola this fall. Pepsi's beverage will contain three grams of prebiotic fiber and five grams of cane sugar. Meanwhile, Coca-Cola said Tuesday that it will release a version of its titular soda made with cane sugar in the U.S. — also set for a fall debut. Coke has sweetened its soda in the U.S. with high-fructose corn syrup since the 1980s, but cane sugar is a familiar product for the company as it's already used for soft drinks in markets like Mexico. Believe it or not, there's a political angle here: Coca-Cola's announcement came nearly a week after Trump — an avid fan of the Diet Coke brand — said he was talking with the company about using cane sugar in its U.S. products. In Tuesday's edition of this newsletter, you learned about Opendoor Technologies, the real estate e-commerce company that fit the profile of a meme stock. The latest name to join the meme stock ranks is one you're likely much more familiar with: Kohl's. (Yes, Kohl's.) The stock soared more than 37% in Tuesday's session with no clear catalyst, to use Wall Street lingo. However, as CNBC's Gabrielle Fonrouge pointed out, the stock has become a topic du jour on the popular Wall Street Bets Reddit page, given its high level of shorting interest and status as a household name. Opendoor investors, on the other hand, had a bad day, with shares finishing Tuesday's session down more than 10%. —
