Live from Paris Fashion Week, Lauren is joined by Misty White Sidell from The New York Times to discuss the inception, rise, and triumph of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s The Row, arguably America’s one true luxury brand. They cover everything from the designers’ influence on American style and how they broke out of their child-actor prison to what makes The Row different from its European competitors, why fans are willing to pay such steep prices for their wares, what makes their sample sales special, and how they might expand their purview now that they’re valued at more than $1 billion, with backing from the likes of the Wertheimer and Bettencourt Meyers families, as well as Natalie Massenet and Nick Brown’s Imaginary Ventures and Lauren Santo Domingo’s St. Dominique Capital.

At the Oscars, Old Dresses and New Teeth
Lauren is joined by the brilliant Hillary Kerr of Future Publishing, Who What Wear, podcasting, and newsletter fame, for their annual unpacking of Hollywood’s most important night…of red carpet fashion. They cover it all, from the unexpected endurance of the man-brooch trend, to the rise of archival replicas, to pervasiveness of veneers. They also discuss which fashion brands hit it big on Sunday, from Timothée Chalamet’s (almost-glowing) yellow suit to Ariana Grande’s Schiaparelli twofer. Plus, they reveal how VIP publicists and celebrity stylists make it all happen, from the contracts to the dress designs.

The PR Guy
Lauren welcomes Paris-based communications guru Lucien Pagès to the pod. Lucien shares stories of precious time spent interning in Yves Saint Laurent’s studio in the 1990s, opening his agency (with Adam Kimmel as his first client!) in the 2000s, going global in the 2010s, and selling to supergroup The Independents last year. They also chat about how Americans and Europeans approach fashion and style. Plus, Lauren checks in from Milan Fashion Week with reports from Prada and more.

The Sakspocalypse and a Burberry Question Mark
Lauren and Becky Malinsky dial in from London, right after Burberry’s show at the Tate Britain. They discuss the future of that brand (with or without designer Daniel Lee), the future of London Fashion Week, shopping in London, and the tenor of its street style versus New York, Los Angeles, and Paris. They also interrogate what’s happening as Saks Global (owner of Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman) battles with its brands regarding late payments and how it may affect the customer experience. Finally, they get into the why behind the launch of Nike Skims.
