A Sofia Coppola Appreciation Pod
The Ringer’s Amanda Dobbins joins Lauren on the pod to discuss one of their shared interests: Sofia Coppola. Together, the duo interrogate Coppola’s relationship with fashion, on- and off-screen: her incredible influence on modern aesthetics, her impact on the industry, and why she’s personally important to them. (As true professionals, they also tried their best not to be too sycophantic. They may or may not have failed.)

Tariffs & The Art of Retail Maintenance
Lauren is joined by retail real estate guru Jonathan Schley to discuss some of the biggest fashion news of the week, including the Prada Group’s $1.4 billion acquisition of Versace (is this an opportunity for more Miu Miu stores?) and how Trump’s tariffs might shake out across the retail landscape. They also dig into Glossier’s disappointing financials and the challenges of maintaining brand momentum post-Covid. Finally, Jonathan shares some advice for founder-led brands.

Department Store Wars
In the never-ending saga of American department stores, Saks Global’s acquisition of the Neiman Marcus Group for $2.7 billion will go down in history as one of the most complicated—and consequential—plot points. Lauren and Saks Global C.E.O. Marc Metrick run through the list of complaints against the luxury department store super group, which includes Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman—from issues paying vendors to customer return snafus. And then, Marc outlines why he believes the deal was inevitable, and why it’ll be better for the customer in the long run.

Flip-flopgate and Vanity Fair Guessing Games
Lauren is joined by watch expert and Dimepiece founder Brynn Wallner, who just spent a week in Geneva at Watches & Wonders, the Swiss watch industry’s largest and most important trade show. Brynn shares what she saw in the context of what’s happening in the watch market more broadly. They also discuss the big T (as it tariffs) and what they could mean for watch collectors. To round things out, they contemplate the merits (or lack thereof) of The Row’s $690 flip-flops and discuss who should be the next editor in chief of Vanity Fair.
