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.

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.

Per la prima volta l’UE ha applicato il Digital Markets Act (DMA) infliggendo multe ad Apple (500 milioni di euro) e Meta (200 milioni) per pratiche anticoncorrenziali. Apple è accusata di ostacolare l’accesso degli utenti a offerte alternative sull’App Store, mentre Meta avrebbe imposto una scelta troppo rigida tra condivisione dei dati e abbonamento a pagamento. Le sanzioni, ben inferiori alla soglia massima prevista dal DMA, suggeriscono una volontà europea di non aggravare ulteriormente i rapporti con gli Stati Uniti, già tesi per via della guerra commerciale lanciata da Trump. Bruxelles assicura che le decisioni sono puramente giuridiche, ma la Casa Bianca ha reagito duramente parlando di “estorsione economica”. Interviene Michele Polo, professore Ordinario di Economia Politica presso l'Università Bocconi.Kering, ricavi del primo trimestre in calo del 14% a 3,9 miliardiNel primo trimestre del 2025 Kering ha registrato ricavi in calo del 14%, a 3,9 miliardi di euro, deludendo le attese degli analisti. Il calo ha colpito tutte le aree geografiche, con l’Asia-Pacifico in forte contrazione (-25%), seguita da Europa occidentale e Nord America (-13%), e Giappone (-11%). Il titolo, che da inizio anno ha perso oltre il 25%, ha chiuso in rialzo prima della trimestrale, in scia alla buona performance del settore lusso a Parigi. Le vendite del canale retail diretto, centrale per la strategia di Kering, sono scese del 16%, mentre il wholesale ha perso il 23%, in linea con la politica di rafforzamento dell’esclusività distributiva. Tra i brand, Gucci ha segnato la flessione più marcata (-25%), penalizzata dal calo del traffico nei negozi e dalla razionalizzazione dell’offerta. Saint Laurent ha registrato un -9%, con segnali di tenuta in Medio Oriente e in parte del mercato occidentale. In controtendenza, Bottega Veneta ha chiuso con un +4%, grazie alla crescita a doppia cifra in Europa, Nord America e Medio Oriente. Le altre maison del gruppo hanno registrato un calo dell’11%, ma con dinamiche variegate: bene Brioni, Pomellato e Qeelin, più deboli McQueen e Balenciaga (nonostante il buon andamento nella pelletteria). Ne parliamo con Filippo Diodovich, market Strategist di IG Italia.Generali, l assemblea conferma Donnet alla guidaMediobanca vince la "battaglia" in assemblea Generali con il 52,38% dei voti, assicurando la riconferma di Donnet e Sironi, ma la "guerra" resta aperta. La lista Caltagirone si ferma al 36,8%, rafforzata dall'appoggio di Unicredit (6,7% del capitale), Delfin (9,9%) e Crt. Assogestioni esclusa dal CdA. Gli istituzionali, il retail e i piccoli azionisti si schierano con Mediobanca, che resta l’azionista di riferimento (13,04%). Nonostante la sconfitta, Caltagirone conquista tre consiglieri e conserva un ruolo critico in CdA. La partita ora si sposta su Mps, dove lo stesso Caltagirone è azionista e il dialogo con Mediobanca resta tutto da scrivere.

Mentre la tensione cresce, emerge una figura chiave nell’amministrazione: Scott Bessent, nuovo Segretario al Tesoro, ex trader di Soros e primo esponente apertamente gay nel ruolo.

Att lura ögat genom optiska illusioner är populärt i modevärlden just nu och många modeskapare gör kläder som inte är vad de ser ut att vara. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Balenciaga, Diesel, Acne Studios, Our Legacy, Victoria Beckham, Prada och, inte minst, Jonathan Anderson är bara några av alla modemärken som idag gillar att skapa optiska illusioner. Somliga lyfter fram det lustfyllda i att få leka med mode tack vare just trompe l'oeil. Andra, som Prada, har ett mer intellektuellt förhållningssätt. Vad är verkligt? Och så kan det, förstås, ge stor uppmärksamhet.I veckans program berättar modevetaren Emily Dahl, också känd som Modemassakern, om en på senaste tiden mycket uppmärksammad byxa: trompe l'œil-jeansen som egentligen är mjukisbyxor. Peter Gärdenfors, professor i kognitionsvetenskap, berättar hur konstnärer kan utnyttja seendets och perceptionens begränsningar för att lura våra ögon. Och så träffar vi scenografen Niklas Nilsson, som under många år arbetade tillsammans med regissören Roy Andersson. I hans filmer utnyttjades trompe l'œil-effekter till max för att bygga upp stora världar i en liten studio.
British fashion designer Martine Rose has reshaped menswear and brought her village with her. A true ‘designer's designer', she is the force behind the self-titled label proudly worn by Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Neneh Cherry, Timothée Chalamet and A$AP Rocky, to name but a few. Her subcultural silhouettes have influenced everyone from Demna – who called her in during his early Balenciaga years – to mastodons like Nike and Supreme. On this very special episode of The Most, Martine welcomes Dominique into her London studio for a rare, walls-down conversation spanning 20-plus years of creating, honouring and shifting culture. From her polychrome childhood and early nightlife tales to creative breakthroughs, business chin-falls and industry recognition. She speaks about growing up in a multi-generational home where proud Black Panther politics, music and an embrace of eccentricity planted the roots of the designer she'd become. And yes, she also answers *that* creative director question. From trailblazing at Balenciaga Men's and steering Nike into new lanes to the enduring power of her team and cheeky, humorous resilience – this is a portrait of a designer whose intuition and refusal to conform have built a legacy like no other.

Ever wondered if that coveted designer bag is truly worth its price tag? In this episode, Candice delves into the hidden truths of luxury fashion, revealing how brands like Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Balenciaga have built empires on exclusivity and illusion. From the rise of high-quality knockoffs to the revelation that many "Made in Italy" labels are actually produced in China, we uncover the blurred lines between authenticity and facade. Join Candice as she challenges the notion of luxury, exposing how status symbols are manufactured and marketed to the masses. Discover why the allure of the label may be more about perception than reality, and consider whether true style stems from confidence rather than cost. Tune in for a candid conversation that questions the real value behind the world's most sought-after brands.email me at info@mdmaq.comwww.mdmaq.com
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.

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.

Comenzaremos el programa con un repaso a la actualidad. Empezaremos con la reciente resolución judicial sobre Marine Le Pen en Francia, que ha provocado ataques contra las autoridades judiciales por parte de líderes populistas en Francia, en toda Europa y en EE. UU. Continuaremos con el anuncio de que Hungría se retira de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI). El primer ministro húngaro, Viktor Orbán, acusó a la CPI de ser un “tribunal político” y citó la orden de arresto contra Netanyahu como prueba del sesgo del tribunal. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a discutir un nuevo estudio que indica que los europeos pobres suelen vivir más que los estadounidenses ricos. Y, para concluir la primera parte del programa, hablaremos del discurso de récord pronunciado por el senador estadounidense Cory Booker. En las secciones de gramática y de expresiones del programa tendremos diálogos que tratan sobre la cultura española. El tema de gramática del primer diálogo será The Uses of the Imperfect - Part II. Y la última conversación incluirá ejemplos del uso de un nuevo proverbio español, A grandes males, grandes remedios. La condena de Marine Le Pen ha indignado a la ultraderecha, pero las implicaciones políticas no están claras Hungría anuncia que se retira de la Corte Penal Internacional Los europeos más pobres viven tantos años como los estadounidenses ricos El senador estadounidense Cory Booker bate un récord de hace 68 años con un discurso de 25 horas de duración Cristóbal Balenciaga, uno de los diseñadores de moda más famosos de España Dos mil años de ingeniería: las ideas españolas que han sorprendido al mundo
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.
On this episode we speak with Emily Segal, the founder of the brand strategy agency Nemesis, publishing house Deluge, and the author of the novel Mercury Retrograde. Emily came to fame in the 2010s as the co-founder of the collective K-Hole, which coined the term "normcore." She went on to work with everyone from Prada to Supreme, and learned a few things along the way, some of which we discuss in this episode. We mostly concentrate on two pieces of her writing, the Umami Theory of Value and B for Balenciaga, a brand case study. We discuss why the current culture feels like a postmodernist, meaningless, made-for-Instagram slop, or as Emily writes, "Umami is what you got when you did not get anything," why Balenciaga is a cultural apex predator, a vortex that sucks in cultural artifacts and spits them out as memes, why Demna's irony is hollow, whether he will succeed at Gucci, and much more besides.

Porteuse d'une mode inclusive et écoresponsable, Jeanne Friot a été révélée au monde entier à l'occasion des Jeux olympiques de Paris, en juillet 2024. Pendant plus d'un an, elle a imaginé et réalisé l'armure, avec l'artisan Robert Mercier, de la cavalière en argent qui traverse la Seine, semblant presque voler sur son cheval métallique. Une des scènes les plus marquantes de la cérémonie d'ouverture.La créatrice, qui a fondé sa propre marque il y a cinq ans, nous donne rendez-vous à La Caserne, une ancienne caserne de pompiers reconvertie en incubateur de mode responsable, dans le 10ᵉ arrondissement de Paris, où sont installés ses bureaux et atelier. Jeanne Friot parle de son enfance, dans une famille « non patriarcale », entre une mère directrice artistique dans la musique et un père artiste-peintre. Mais c'est sa grand-mère paternelle qui l'élève, qui lui apprend « à faire la cuisine, à manger, à se mettre à table ».C'est grâce à elle aussi qu'elle découvre sa vocation : « Je ne comprenais pas pourquoi je voulais le faire, mais c'était une évidence pour moi et j'ai travaillé toute mon adolescence pour pouvoir rentrer dans les bonnes écoles de mode. » Elle étudie à Duperré puis à l'Institut français de la mode, où elle rencontre son mentor, le Néerlandais Josephus Thimister, ancien directeur artistique de Balenciaga, mort en 2019. « Quelqu'un qui m'a montré comment on déconstruit et on reconstruit un vêtement. »Elle revient sur sa découverte des autrices lesbiennes, vers l'âge de 17 ans, qui a agi « comme un boulet de canon ». « Je me suis dit : “Mais si elles ont cette place dans la littérature, ça veut dire qu'elles peuvent avoir une place dans d'autres industries et dans d'autres arts. Et moi, je peux peut-être faire la mode dont j'ai envie.” »Depuis six saisons, la journaliste et productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal) préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et de Juliette SavardRéalisation : Emmanuel BauxMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Audion.

This week is part 3 with laughs, drama, and unexpected revelations as we welcome back celebrity astrologer, Kyle Thomas from Hollywood horoscopes to wild dating confessions, nothing is off-limits in this tell-all conversation. Kyle dives into the world of astrology, breaking down Western astrology's seasonal system and explaining the intricacies of zodiac deacons. The conversation takes a hilarious turn when astrology is compared to fashion, sparking memories of a supposedly “yellow” dress…or was gold? We get candid about his dating history, including being a top in a past relationship and the discussion takes a turn when we bring up “boyfriend dick?" It's a no-holds-barred debate about sexual roles and preferences in relationships. Kyle reveals that he hasn't been in a relationship for a long time and that his time in LA has shifted his views on love and commitment and confesses to taking a two-year celibacy journey post-breakup and shares how his career now takes priority over fatherhood. We offer our take on dating in the public eye and men with hidden agendas. We share our best European travel tips including why German men might change his five-date rule to five minutes and push him to embrace the European experience, promising that romance (or at least great stories) awaits. Beyond astrology, Kyle is making waves in the entertainment world, teasing a confidential TV development deal and shares his goals of publishing internationally and expanding his brand beyond astrology. In Haute Topics we chat about Julia Haart's massive divorce settlement, joking about her newfound riches and luxurious furs. They we tear into Balenciaga's latest bizarre fashion statement—the “Barefoot Zero shoe”, questioning whether it's even a shoe at all. Our Runway Rundown looks include Adrien Brody's emerald, green tuxedo and Nicholas Alexander Chavez's maroon disaster, likening it to something out of an 80s porn set. Of course we add in a look from Kyle. Was it a hit or a miss? We debate tailoring, shoe choices, and what makes a red carpet look truly iconic. In the second half of Kyle's coffee reading for Kyle, his grounds reveal a mysterious figure with the letter "A" still lingering in his life. Could it be an old flame or someone from the past waiting to reconnect? As Kyle processes this revelation, he admits to occasionally reaching out to past lovers—but will this be one he welcomes back? This episode is filled with uncensored laughs, raw confessions, and astrological insights you won't want to miss!
