Beyoncé köper ut metoo-anklagad modemagnat
Den amerikanska sångerskan Beyoncé har köpt upp hela sitt sportklädmärke Ivy Park, skriver Reuters. Märket lanserades för två år sedan tillsammans med den brittiske modemagnaten Philip Green. Han står nu anklagad för sexuella trakasserier.
”Efter diskussioner i nästan ett år har (Beyoncés) Parkland förvärvat nästan 100 procent av Ivy Park”, lyder ett uttalande från bolaget.
bakgrund
Philip Green
Wikipedia (en)
Sir Philip Nigel Ross Green (born 15 March 1952) is a British businessman, and the chairman of Arcadia Group, a retail company that includes Topshop, Topman, Wallis, Evans, Burton, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins and Outfit. The now-defunct BHS chain was also part of the group.
Green has been involved in a number of controversies throughout his professional career, including his actions prior to the demise of BHS. In October 2016, the House of Commons approved a measure to ask the Honours Forfeiture Committee to strip Green of his knighthood for his role in the downfall of BHS. This decision was not legally binding and his knighthood was not revoked, although there were later calls to revoke it if allegations of sexual harassment, bullying and racism revealed in October 2018 are proved.
