Our Legacy WORK SHOP x Magniberg Explore Downtime in 'Natura'
Summary TheOur Legacy Work ShopxMagniberg'Natura' collection marks a creative meeting point between two design houses with distinct yet complementary visions. Conceived as an exploration of 'downtime,' the capsule draws inspiration from the liminal space between sleep and the shoreline. This thematic approach informs both the mood and the tactile qualities of the garments, resulting in pieces that feel as relaxed as the moments they're meant to inhabit. At the heart of 'Natura' lies a commitment to natural dyeing, with all colorants derived exclusively from plants and minerals. This artisanal process imparts each piece with a unique, sun‑faded patina and a softened hand, evoking the gentle wear of well‑loved textiles. The muted tones and lived‑in textures not only serve an aesthetic purpose but also reflect a slower, more mindful approach to production — one that embraces organic variation over uniformity. Spanning organic jersey pyjamas, bathrobes and heavyweight organic cotton terry towels, the range is offered in orange and gray, with a brown option available exclusively for the bath towel. Prices range from €85 – €250 EUR (approx. $99 – $240 USD).Our Legacy Work ShopandMagniberg's 'Natura' collection is currently available via their online stores and select physical locations.

Natura swings to profit in Q2; Avon International 'held for sale'
SAO PAULO, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Brazilian cosmetics maker Natura ( opens new tab on Monday posted a second quarter net profit swung back into the black, in an earnings report that excluded Avon International, a major business arm that Natura is looking to sell off. Net profit for the three months through the end of June landed at 195 million reais ($35.8 million), reversing the 859 million real net loss it logged from the same period last year. Natura said in its earnings report it had decided to reclassify its Avon International unit, which aggregates its Avon businesses outside Latin America, as an asset "held for sale". Natura has been "weighing alternatives" for Avon International, which generated about 20% of Natura's total net revenue in the first quarter and had been posting lower margins than the group's Latin American operations. Due to the reclassification, the unit was not included in the second-quarter earnings report. Avon businesses in the Dominican Republic and Central America were also reclassified under this label, Natura said. Excluding the reclassified business, Natura's core earnings - as measured by recurring earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) - stood at 795.6 million reais in the second quarter, up 4.5% year-on-year. Revenues nevertheless dipped 1.7% to 5.7 billion reais, below the 7.5 billion reais predicted by analysts polled by LSEG. It was not immediately clear if the numbers were comparable, due to the reclassification. ($1 = 5.4421 reais)

Confessions of a Jury President at Cannes Lions 2025
I had a strange realisation at Cannes Lions 2025. I'm not an expert. I've never been one. Experts come with definitions. Boundaries. Templates. They arrive with answers. But the world is asking new questions, too fast. Certainty is shrinking. Expertise is under siege. And that's when it hit me. I'm not here because I know. I'm here because I feel. I'm a lover. I'm madly, unapologetically in love with this business of creativity. A lover is not limited by knowledge. A lover is led by wonder. Curiosity. Intuition. Emotion. As a lover, I could feel the work. I could feel the intent. I could feel the jury too - their thoughts, their pauses, their excitement. In the very first hour, we found our rhythm. We didn't just judge the work. We lived with it. We gave it time. We let it speak to us. There was an easy energy in the room. Gentle, deep, and generous. There was grace. There was listening. There was love. Expertise has posture. Love has presence. Expertise wants control. Love allows. Love doesn't interrupt - it leans in. And that made all the difference. There was debate, but not resistance. Disagreement, but never disconnection. We weren't trying to be right. We were trying to be real. And maybe that's what the world needs right now - more sincerity. Less expertise, more empathy. More lovers. We judged for 11 hours on the first day. Eleven hours of fierce focus and honest conversation. But no one felt tired. Because love doesn't tire you out. It lifts you. Expertise can be exhausting. Love is effortless. As Jury President for the SDG Lions , I had to lead a brilliant team of highly respected and accomplished industry talent from around the world . But instead, I followed. I followed the work. I followed the jury. I followed the love. And in letting go, I found something more. The Grand Prix went to ' Amazon Greenventory' by Natura. This groundbreaking initiative challenged the belief that profit in the Amazon must come at the cost of deforestation. By leveraging artificial intelligence and drone technology, Natura conducted the largest tree inventory in Amazon history - 400 km² mapped in six months, a task that would've taken 25 years traditionally. It empowered local communities, improving harvesting methods, boosting incomes and deepening their connection to the land. A powerful demonstration that sustainable profit can come from innovation, not destruction. Our other discovery was the 'Sounds Right' initiative which made NATURE an official artist - using music to raise funds for conservation. It is a global music and conservation movement developed by the Museum for the United Nations – UN Live, in partnership with Spotify , EarthPercent and a coalition of cross-sector partners. 'Sounds Right' made history by officially launching NATURE as an artist on music streaming platforms for the first time. We witnessed many more transformational ideas that had measurable impact at scale. At the award ceremony on Friday evening, I stood on the giant stage before the expectant audience and made my confession - I did not judge the work, the work judged me. It made me aware of my biases and limitations. And when we finally gave away the awards, I felt one with the receivers. Many of them wanted me in their photograph, hugging me tight like I was one of them. I realised experts stand on the outside. Love is an inside job. At the end of the week, as I stepped onto the flight back home, I felt an overwhelming sense of becoming, of having found something, of being born again. And the lyrics of an old Donna Summer song came to me - the soundtrack of my Cannes Lions experience: Ooh, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good, it's so good Ooh, heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows, heaven knows Ooh, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love, I feel love Because in the end, it's not about being the expert. It's about being a lover. (Jo
