Phoebe Philo's first interview in a decade, a dive into Todd Snyder's business, what I can't wait to watch and unlock your personality by playing with the bag charm trend.
Just subscribed to the Acquired podcast! Speaking of podcast/fashion show, there was a nice Todd Snyder interview done by Recho Omondi on her Patreon that I highly recommend because she asks the questions you wouldn't see in traditional/independent fashion media. I also recommend her episode with Ana Andjelic.
For Phoebe Philo, the interview felt so contrived. It was if she was requested to do this interview. It was such a pity they didn't dive into the logistics and returns mayhem as it seems her team was ill-prepared for all the orders. I am left quite speechless because with her background and pedigree in fashion, she had the time to build a platform and a system that should sustain all this, especially as she doesn't apply the seasonality model and works by sending drops. I just think it is a little bit weird to read she is considering her platform a work in progress given all the advantages she has vs. a nameless designer who doesn't have LVMH taking a minor stake in their business.
Oh! I'm not familiar with Recho Omondi. I'll go check that out because I'm a fan of Ana Andjelic too. You make a great point about the time to build the back-end to handle logistics. Thank you for the thoughtful comments and recommendations
Going to see High and Low solo this weekend - can not wait! Also YES to Aquired podcast. I listed to the Hermes pod the week before last...long but soon good couldn't stop listening ... half way through lvmh...love Ben and David (chefs kiss)
I really enjoyed the film. Not the typical rise fall and redemption story. It was more complicated more complex than that. Loads of beautiful fashion moments from past of course as well as a peek into the couture design process, and the mystery behind exploitative industry heads. Hopefully you get a chance to see it soon!
Cost per Fit - this is so up your alley! The two hosts are fantastic. 2+ hours and I'm still totally engaged. So much detail and wonderful storytelling. Fits with your substack interests so well. Enjoy! listen to the Hermes one in addition to the LVMH.
