“We are thrilled to launch our coveted DECORTÉ brand exclusively in Saks Fifth Avenue, an entity known for luxury, taste and elegance,” said Kazutoshi Kobayashi, President and CEO, KOSÉ Corporation. “Being a skin care leader in Asia for so many years, we are excited to finally introduce American women to our revolutionary products which combine nature, wisdom and advanced science to reinvigorate skin and enhance natural beauty.”

Emphasizing this partnership, Kate Oldham, Senior Vice President/GMM, Beauty, Saks Fifth Avenue adds, “At Saks, we have built a solid reputation as the preeminent leader in best-in-class skincare. DECORTÉ is a perfect complement to Saks, bringing the best of Japan’s technology and the industries’ highest standards of quality.”

Ms. Moss became an instant fan and stated, “I can really see a difference in my skin since I started using DECORTÉ. These products are amazing – I want more!”

Considered one of Asia’s best-kept secrets, DECORTÉ skin care is widely popular for combining the ancient practice of Eastern Medicine with techno-innovation science. With over ten years of product development and partnership with Nobel Prize winning laboratories, each DECORTÉ skincare formula will include Vi-Fusion™ – a radical new approach that works to holistically strengthen, regenerate and empower skin on multiple levels to unleash its natural life-force from within.

Ms. Oldham will join Mr. Kobayashi for the announcement today at a media event with a special meal created personally by renowned Chefs Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Cédric Vongerichten at the Perry St restaurant in New York City.
