Goop’s Editorial & Beauty Staff Is Reduced By A Second Round Of Layoffs
Ruh roh. Gwyneth Paltrow‘s lifestyle brand Goop has just cut 10 staff members from its payroll, according to a new report by Rachel Strugatz for Puck. The most recently cut include staff across the brand’s editorial and beauty teams, including executive beauty director Jean Godfrey-June—previously a top editrix at Lucky and Elle. However, Goop’s latest cuts follow its September layoffs of nearly 40 staff members—and, according to Strugatz, more layoffs are apparently on the horizon.
“As Goop continues to restructure and move toward a new organization design focused on fashion, beauty, and food, we have made a small reduction in staff headcount to optimize operational efficiency and revenue growth in our key verticals of beauty and fashion,” a Goop spokesperson tells Puck. The individual added that Goop Beauty sales are up 21%, while Paltrow’s G. Label fashion line sales are up 45 percent year-to-date. However, the brand declined to share revenue figures.
