Leonard Lauder to Receive John B. Fairchild Honor

Leonard Lauder, chairman emeritus of the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc., will receive the 2018 John B. Fairchild Honor at the WWD Apparel & Retail CEO Summit in New York on Oct. 30. The John B. Fairchild Honor was named after WWD’s late chairman and editorial director. The award, chosen by WWD’s current editors, was introduced in 2016 as an annual celebration of creative vision, performance and leadership in the fashion and beauty industries. Lauder is the third recipient, following Ralph Lauren and Karl Lagerfeld, who were honored in 2016 and 2017, respectively. “I’m so proud to receive the John B. Fairchild Award, named after my greatest hero of the 20th century,” Lauder said. “John was a dear friend, and the great transformer of fashion and people news. No one can match John’s wit, character and vision.” James Fallon, editorial director of WWD, said, “Leonard Lauder’s leadership has impacted not just the beauty world, but everything from retail to brand building to art. He is a true visionary whose passion, drive and insight are legendary. He likes to say, ‘Stay in the game’ and that is exactly what he continues to do — and serves as an inspiration to us all.” Leonard A. Lauder  Aurora Rose For
