Kosé Corporation's Visée brand was established in 1994 and it is now being repositioned as a gender-neutral beauty brand. After launching matte eyeshadows that quickly became popular with male consumers, the brand is refocusing its efforts on genderless messaging and bringing awareness to the brand's inclusivity.
At the Japanese beauty company's latest earnings conference, director and CFO Shinichi Mochizuki remarked that the firm will be focusing on three G's going forward: global, gender and generation. These themes will see the company growing a community of customers regardless of their gender or age.
Based on the positive responses it has received, the company has also begun to promote three additional brands, SEKKISEI, Ceramiaid and Carte HD, as gender-neutral as well.
