THE EVENT

On October 2nd, the 2024 Catalysts finalists travelled to Paris for a judging day and winner’s announcement hosted by Shana Randhava, Senior Vice President, The Estée Lauder Companies New Incubation Ventures, and Vanessa Craft, Global Head of Partnerships at TikTok.

Held at Le Meurice, each finalist was invited to present their brand – and their vision for beauty – to a panel of esteemed judges, including Isamaya Ffrench, Michele Lamy, Mitchell Halliday and Fabien Baron.

After an inspiring day and difficult deliberation, the winners were announced at a cocktail reception with an audience of top-tier editors, tastemakers, and beauty insiders. These brands embody the future: supported by The Catalysts, they’ll be making their plans to change the industry a reality.
