About this listen

In this episode we're unpacking the return of celebrity runway extravaganzas (L'Oréal's star-studded spectacle, Victoria's Secret's angel reboot, and Vogue World's increasingly wacky genre experiments). Are these shows actually about clothes anymore, or just elaborate content farms for your FYP?

Then: Kim Jones is heading to Bosideng, and suddenly we’re all pretending we knew how to pronounce it all along. We're talking about why luxury's biggest names are racing to elevate functional outerwear, and what it means when a British designer becomes the face of Chinese fashion's global ambitions.

And look, we need to talk about department stores. They're in their flop era—foot traffic's down, relevance is questionable, and the vibes are giving "desperate for tourist spending." Which brings us to BHV partnering with Shein. Yes, that Shein, now living inside a heritage Parisian department store. Bold survival strategy or the fashion equivalent of selling out to pay rent? Either way, we have feelings about it.
