Zadig & Voltaire keeps widening its product range. Headed by Thierry Gillier, it already has an eyewear license and has also recently signed a fragrance agreement with Clarins. This time, the French brand decided to expand into children’s wear by signing a license with a group from Hong Kong and Macao, specialised in this market and headed by Howard Yiu. But the latter is not just anybody: Mr Yiu is the owner of French store chain Compagnie des Petits.

As for its new fragrance and the cosmetics line that goes with it, its launch date has been delayed from September to January. Zadig & Voltaire’s president, Thierry Gillier, expects the line to make a big hit with its two perfumes: one for men and the other for women. The brand’s current fragrance, made by the company with the help of Labo in New York, is unisex.
