Christine Russo, host of What Just Happened, sits Astrid Wendlandt, founder and editor of Miss Tweed, the independent luxury and fashion media brand.Wendlandt shares her motivation for launching Miss Tweed in 2020: to offer rigorous, independent investigative journalism in a fashion and luxury industry too often shaped by corporate advertising. Drawing on her decades-long career at Reuters, the Financial Times, and The New York Times, Wendlandt argues that traditional outlets are often constrained by the influence of luxury advertisers. Miss Tweed, by contrast, is funded through subscriptions and aims to deliver exclusive, uncompromising reporting every Sunday.A central theme of the interview is the tension between journalistic integrity and luxury brand control. Wendlandt details her blacklisting from groups such as LVMH and Richemont. Despite being banned from shows and events, her work is widely read including, ironically, within the organizations that attempt to marginalize her. She recounts moments such as being barred from Watches & Wonders despite receiving direct invitations, and confronting Richemont chairman Johann Rupert at a shareholder meeting. The encounter, she says, revealed the extent to which executives resist criticism while privately acknowledging her impact.Wendlandt critiques many luxury brands for stifling creativity and relying too heavily on corporate narratives. She highlights the inconsistency and lack of coherence in Gucci's recent campaigns, contrasting it with the brand alignment and longevity of Ralph Lauren, which she credits to internal clarity, staff retention, and consistent messaging. She argues that the over-rotation of creative directors has created a confusing sameness across brands, with Gucci, Valentino, and Balenciaga appearing stylistically interchangeable. She warns that brands are losing aspirational consumers due to price inflation, risk aversion, and creative stagnation.The conversation also touches on Wendlandt's refusal to give away proprietary content, even to legacy media or analysts, in defense of her subscription model and intellectual property. She expresses frustration at the casual sharing of Miss Tweed's reporting within major luxury houses and reveals she is pursuing legal action for IP violations.Miss Tweed, she asserts, stands for transparency, editorial courage, and creative integrity qualities she believes the luxury world sorely needs.Key Takeaways:Independent Journalism, and Freedom of Information:Wendlandt explains that luxury brands often avoid engaging with her because she offers reporting that is not influenced by advertising revenue. Most mainstream media outlets are financially tied to major brands through ads, which leads them to avoid publishing anything critical that brands would not approve. Creativity:Wendlandt discusses the lack of audacity and creativity in today's luxury industry. She believes that the fear of taking risks has made top brands overly cautious. Rather than innovating or taking bold steps with new designers or ideas, brands consistently hire the same well-known figures, resulting in collections and advertising that all look very similar. Wendlandt argues that this repetitive approach leads to uninspired products and bland campaigns, which ultimately disappoints consumers and diminishes excitement around luxury brands. She insists that true creativity and a readiness to take risks are essential if luxury companies want to regain trust, stand out from the competition, and spark genuine interest among consumersJoan of Arc or Joan Crawford?We will let the listener decide

Face à la pluie de recours contre les permis d’urbanisme, les promoteurs immobiliers se couvrent: ils misent de plus en plus sur l’assurance pour maintenir leurs chantiers et éviter de perdre des sommes astronomiques avec d'éventuels retards. Ils pèsent de manière colossale sur les performances de Wall Street: les géants de la tech publient leurs résultats cette semaine. Meta et Microsoft ont fait état de solides performances hier à la clôture, boostés par l'intelligence artificielle. La crème du luxe est divisée en bourse en cette saison des résultats, avec un paradoxe: d'un côté, Hermès chute malgré des bonnes performances, de l'autre, Kering (Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga...) s'envole après un trimestre plutôt morose. L'arrivée à la tête du groupe de Luca de Meo, l'ancien patron de Renault, n'y est pas pour rien.

This week's show kicks off with Rome welcoming listeners, sharing music picks, and paying tribute to Malcolm Jamal Warner, reflecting on his impact alongside nods to Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan. From there, Jab leads a deep dive into hip-hop's evolving style, from Run-D.M.C.'s Adidas tracksuits to today's Balenciaga fits, exploring how regional trends and social media have shaped the culture. Next, the hosts debate talent vs. rapper—is lyrical skill still essential in 2025, or has branding and presence taken over? Jab then unpacks the rise of “begging music” in rap, spotlighting emotional tracks from Drake, Future, and Rod Wave, before Shan takes listeners on a nostalgic ride through TV one-hit wonders—shows like The Get Down, Lovecraft Country, and South Central that deserved more than one season. Rome brings the conversation back to the present with a breakdown of Howard University's financial aid controversy, where students face sudden debts despite holding scholarships. Shan follows up with fresh TV news: STARZ greenlighting Power: Origins, an 18-episode prequel exploring the early days of Ghost and Tommy, sparking fan casting buzz. Finally, Mill rounds things out with a timely discussion on Trump's executive order and the NIL shake-up in college sports, weighing whether student-athletes should be considered employees and what it means for HBCUs and hip-hop crossovers. The episode closes with final thoughts, a preview of what's next, and listener shout-outs—plus calls for fans to join the conversation by dropping their takes on fashion eras, emotional rap anthems, one-season shows, and dream castings.

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. You might not be able to afford a Balenciaga coat, a Prada bag or a Chanel suit, but you could probably stretch to a branded baseball cap, pair of socks or some other small accessory. According to blogger Venkatesh Rao this is the definition of ‘premium mediocre' a term he came up with to describe the illusion of luxury without the price tag. Is premium mediocre just for fashion? What is the problem with premium mediocre? Why do people purchase premium mediocre products? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos la salida de Luca de Meo de Renault. El italiano deja el grupo francés después de cinco años. Lo deja de forma voluntaria y desempeñará el cargo hasta el próximo 15 de julio. De Meo asegura que “busca nuevos retos fuera del sector de la automoción". Y es que ante todo, el empresario siempre ha sido un amante del motor, con experiencia en marcas como Toyota, Fiat o Seat. Solo hace un mes presentó su libro Diccionario sentimental del automóvil. Esos nuevos retos podrían llevarle hasta Kering, según Le Figaro. La marca de lujo francesa, que engloba firmas de renombre como Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent o Balenciaga se ha fijado en el buen hacer del ejecutivo en Renault, donde cogió las riendas en un momento muy pero que muy difícil. El 1 de julio de 2020 asumió el cargo de CEO de Renault. El fabricante automovilístico registró una pérdida neta de más de 8 mil millones de euros ese mismo año. Sus ingresos cayeron entonces casi la mitad. Fue entonces cuando De Meo se puso manos a la obra y presentó el plan “Renaulution”: Resurrección, Renovación y Revolución. En la primera fase la marca pretendía hacer un plan de recortes ambicioso en tres años: ya en 2022, la compañía logró reducir estas pérdidas en más de 2.000 millones de euros. En las fases de Renovación y Revolución la marca iba a apostar por la innovación tecnológica, la reestructuración de la marca y la incorporación de nuevos modelos. En noviembre de 2022 la marca crea las marcas Ampere y Power para desarrollar hardware y así reducir su dependencia de China. Además, lanza al mercado los modelos Twingo eléctrico de 20.000 euros y el Renault 5 E-Tech. Otra de las misiones que tenía el ejecutivo italiano era cambiar la alianza con Nissan. De las múltiples tensiones que muchas veces amenazaron con romper dicha alianza se pasó a una relación más calmada. De hecho, la salida de De Meo ha provocado que la marca japonesa vaya a reducir su participación en Renault, como ha asegurado su CEO, Iván Espinosa. Hasta aquí llega la influencia de De Meo, que ahora tiene la difícil tarea de devolver los días de gloria a Kering, después de que sus acciones hayan perdido el 80% de su valor desde 2021. Sabemos que De Meo se va a Kering pero ¿quién le sustituirá en Renault? Parece que el mercado mira a dos muy posibles: Wayne Griffiths, que dejó el cargo de director ejecutivo de Seat en marzo y que ya negoció con el presidente de Stellantis, John Elkann, para ser el CEO del grupo y Josep Maria Recasens, actual CEO de Ampere, filial de coches eléctricos de Renault, división que le ha dado grandes resultados al fabricante automovilístico.

Luca de Meo dimite como CEO de Renault tras 5 años marcados por la reestructuración de la empresa; todo apunta a que se pondrá al frente del grupo de lujo Kering (Gucci, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent)

On today's show, it turns out blokes do like each other’s outfits – they’re just silently complimenting you with a nod and a high five instead of using actual words. Joel gives his expert (and emotional) take on the brand-new Wicked trailer, while Miley signs a vinyl for a Liam and we all collectively raise an eyebrow. Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have called it quits, Meghan’s dancing in hospital throwbacks, and Katy Perry’s been spotted shopping in Lidcombe before tearing up the stage. Plus, Balenciaga’s latest “shoe” is basically a flip-flop’s weird cousin with a toe hole and no dignity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Shocking Look Inside Diddy's Closet of Secrets... & Baby Oil In today's explosive developments from the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, we break down everything revealed inside his Miami mansion—straight from the courtroom. Federal Agent Gerard Gannon took the stand and physically presented the evidence seized in the 2024 raid: loaded firearms with defaced serial numbers, cocaine and MDMA tucked into designer bags, stacks of baby oil and lubricants, and cell phones hidden inside Balenciaga boots. Prosecutors argue that this wasn't just bizarre—this was infrastructure for a larger pattern of coercion and sex trafficking. We'll walk you through exactly what was found, where it was found, and why prosecutors believe it paints a picture of calculated control. From sex paraphernalia to drug paraphernalia, this wasn't just a party—it was allegedly a power mechanism. Then we examine the counterpunch from the defense, which focused not on denying the existence of these items, but on criticizing the raid itself—its SWAT-like tactics, its militarized optics, and the absence of weapons on Combs's staff. Whether you're following the case as a legal junkie, a fan of forensic psychology, or just want to understand the shocking level of detail involved in this investigation, this is a breakdown you don't want to miss. #truecrime #SeanCombs #DiddyTrial #federaltrial #forensicevidence #cassieventura #georgekaplan #diddyevidence #traumabonding #celebrityjustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When the Liberty Basketball team won the WNBA national championship last year, Breanna Stewart wasn't sure anyone would really come to the “Canyon of Heroes” ticker tape parade. But as Stewart's float turned a corner, thousands of cheering fans came into full view to no one's (except Stewart's) surprise! It's clear that the fandom around the WNBA, and the Liberty Basketball team, has reached fever pitch. In today's episode of The Run Through, Vogue's Digital Style Director Leah Faye Cooper and Fashion Writer Hannah Jackson talk to Stewart, aka Stewie, in the Barclays arena days after the team's home opener. They discuss Stewie's experience at the Met Gala, what it's like to be a bonafide Basketball star, and ask who is really behind the famous Ellie the Elephant Liberty mascot. Plus, Chloe and Chioma break down Pierpaolo Piccioli's appointment at Balenciaga and the latest celebrity Cannes looks.   Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

As any established photographer will tell you, forging a career can be a long and arduous journey, with no instruction manual to guide you through the process. The lofty world of top-notch pros is often shrouded in mystery and full of things they don't teach in photo school. In today's show, we get to peek behind the scenes of this complex, and often chaotic environment in a chat with two colleagues who've found a way to balance their freelance careers as independent creators with lucrative work assisting in a high-profile photo studio. Listen in, to learn how a casual job application through LinkedIn landed Mike Foley an interview, ultimately resulting in a salaried role as first assistant to a world-class portrait photographer. While technical mastery counts for a lot, we discuss the critical importance of soft skills like personality and work ethic to success in such environments. We also distinguish between salaried full-time work and more common freelance roles, and the juggling required to coordinate the complex planning involved.  As freelance lighting assistant (and longtime café owner) Alex Savidis admits, “the juggle becomes quite hard at times, but I think it's a necessity, especially when you're trying to pursue something that you're passionate about. You can't just become a successful photographer overnight. It takes years to build up to that.” Guests: Mike Foley & Alex Savidis Episode Timeline: 2:57: Mike Foley describes heirloom portraiture as his bespoke brand of portrait with the ability to last a lifetime. 5:10: The backstory to Mike getting hired as a photo assistant for a world class portrait photographer. 11:25: The personality and skill set needed to work in a high-end photo studio, Alex's take on being added to the team, plus the various roles within the studio. 17:30: The role of a B-cam operator to capture the finer details of a video shoots, plus an overview of a typical shoot day. 23:05: Mike talks about the video work in his portfolio as a differentiating factor in his getting the assisting job. 28:23: The work structure and expectations for photo assistants, from freelance to salaried positions, plus discussion about length of tenure. 34:50: Episode Break 35:55: Memorable stories from the studio—from the largest two-day shoot with a crew of 150, to the core personnel involved in work-a-day shoots. 42:28: NDA's and the etiquette of what an assistant is able to share when dealing with high-end clients. 46:30: The growing acceptance of photographers who do freelance work and juggle regular 9-5 jobs with photo assignments.   52:07: Learning outcomes from working in a world class portrait studio, and the mindset to hold yourself to a higher standard. 57:49: Mike and Alex share advice for budding photographers based on what they've learned from working in a world-class photo studio.   Guest Bios:  Mike Foley is a New York City-based photographer specializing in heirloom portraiture and editorial photography. After starting out photographing weddings and small events, Mike quickly grew into commercial work, providing clients with timeless images they can use to elevate their visual presence and define their brand. His approach behind the camera is warm and humanistic, allowing his subjects the space to be themselves. In addition to his own photo services, Mike is currently content manager and digital designer for an internationally renowned portrait photographer. On set, he serves as first assistant and B-camera operator, while also providing on-set and post-production support behind the scenes for clients like Balenciaga, New York Magazine, and many more. Australian native Alex Savidis is passionate about storytelling through both still and moving imagery. Based in New York since 2020, he pushes creative boundaries by merging elements from his street and landscape photography into his portraiture & wedding work, weaving memories into art. For the past year and a half, Alex has also worked as lighting assistant and B cam operator in the same high-profile portrait studio as Mike, catering to world-renowned clients and political leaders. On B cam, it's his job to focus on finer details and provide viewers with a deeper, more intimate perspective on a given subject, capturing nuances that enhance the storytelling. Additionally, when he's not juggling camera gear or fine-tuning lights, you can find Alex behind the counter of the café Regular NYC in southern Manhattan, an establishment he founded in early 2024.

Brad Goreski is a celebrity stylist whose impressive client list includes the legendary Demi Moore. Over the last 15 years, he's created countless stunning looks for her, but as she promoted her film The Substance over the last year, Goreski and Moore took things to a whole new level. From the Cannes Film Festival last May through to the Oscars earlier this year, Goreski curated a suite of looks that pushed boundaries and reflected the themes of the movie while still evoking Old Hollywood glamour. This week, he joins Hillary Kerr, Who What Wear's co-founder and chief content officer, to break down the inspirations and origins of Moore's biggest red carpet moments, his methodology for sourcing pieces, and the true magic of a perfect collaboration.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
