On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi, editor-in-chief Jill Manoff and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we're starting with a look back at Milan Fashion Week. Danny and Zofia break down a few of the notable shows, including a big debut from Dario Vitale as the new creative director of Versace. Vitale is the first designer for the brand who is not a member of the Versace family, but his debut collection was well received. And in the same week, the acquisition of Versace by Prada Group was approved by E.U. regulators. Giorgio Armani's show was a fitting tribute to the recently deceased designer who had a profound impact on Italian fashion. And the Brunello Cucinelli show was outshone by allegations from a short seller that the brand has been operating in violation of E.U. sanctions in Russia. Cucinelli has denied the claims. In the second half of the episode (20:00), in light of Paris Fashion Week, we discuss two of the biggest luxury companies in the world. LVMH and Hermès, both French and both presenting this season in Paris, have traded the top spot for the most valuable luxury company in the world several times this year. We break down the strengths of each company. For Hermès, its laser focus on a single brand and high-value customer; for LVMH, its diversified portfolio and broader appeal. Both approaches have their upsides and their challenges, depending on market conditions. And both companies also face competition from independent brands. We also hear from Luca Solca, senior analyst at Bernstein covering luxury goods, who weighs in on the challenges that megabrands like LVMH and Hermès face.

Aujourd'hui, quand on dit qu'un récipient est “hermétiquement fermé”, on pense à un couvercle parfaitement étanche, qu'aucune goutte d'air ou de liquide ne peut traverser. Mais l'histoire du mot est bien plus ancienne et surprenante : elle nous mène aux pratiques mystérieuses des alchimistes et au dieu grec Hermès.Dans l'Antiquité tardive et au Moyen Âge, l'alchimie se présentait comme une quête à la fois scientifique et spirituelle. Les alchimistes cherchaient à transformer les métaux, à fabriquer la pierre philosophale ou à atteindre l'immortalité. Leur savoir, souvent codé et réservé à quelques initiés, fut désigné par le terme hermétisme. Pourquoi ce nom ? Parce que leur tradition se réclamait d'Hermès Trismégiste, figure mythique associée à la sagesse. Ce personnage, mélange du dieu grec Hermès et du dieu égyptien Thot, était censé avoir transmis aux hommes des textes ésotériques décrivant les secrets du cosmos et de la matière.L'adjectif hermétique servait donc d'abord à qualifier tout ce qui se rapportait à cette doctrine occulte, réputée incompréhensible pour le commun des mortels. C'est de là qu'est né le sens figuré que nous connaissons encore : un discours “hermétique” est obscur, réservé aux initiés.Mais le mot a pris aussi un sens beaucoup plus concret grâce aux pratiques mêmes des alchimistes. Dans leurs laboratoires, ils utilisaient des bocaux et des cornues pour réaliser leurs expériences. Or, pour que leurs réactions chimiques aboutissent, il fallait absolument empêcher l'air extérieur de pénétrer et sceller parfaitement les récipients. Ils ont ainsi mis au point des techniques de fermeture avec de la cire, des soudures ou des scellements divers. On parlait alors de récipients “fermés à la manière des hermétistes”, autrement dit des alchimistes. Peu à peu, le terme “hermétique” a désigné non plus seulement un savoir secret, mais aussi un objet totalement clos, imperméable à l'air et à l'eau.C'est cette double filiation – symbolique et technique – qui explique la richesse du mot. L'hermétisme, doctrine ésotérique, a donné naissance à l'adjectif “hermétique” pour qualifier ce qui est obscur. Puis, par extension, et grâce aux méthodes pratiques de fermeture utilisées dans les laboratoires alchimiques, le terme a pris son sens moderne d'“étanche”.Ainsi, chaque fois que l'on ferme un bocal “hermétiquement”, on perpétue sans le savoir un héritage venu de l'alchimie et des mystères d'Hermès Trismégiste. Un mot du quotidien qui, derrière sa banalité, cache une histoire faite de mythes, de secrets et d'expériences en laboratoire. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Georges Kern is emphatic. The Breitling Chief Executive Officer isn't slowing down on plans to expand his company's reach. Even as U.S. tariffs and economic headwinds challenge the industry, Kern is pushing ahead with planned launches of the Universal Geneve and Gallet brands in 2026. He's already orchestrated rapid growth and value creation at the historic Breitling marque since taking on the top job in 2017. Breitling was sold to private equity partners for less than a billion dollars that year. In late 2022, a change in majority shareholder valued the company at more than $4 billion, sources said at the time.  But now with the industry facing a host of economic and political pressures, Kern's expansion efforts are being tested. In a candid interview, he says the luxury watch industry is poised for an eventual rebound. People won't delay purchases forever, he says, and when they're ready, he expects his growing stable of brands to have the right products to match the wants and needs of new clients.This episode of The Business of Watches is brought to you by Panerai.

L'episodi 314 tenim a Llogari Pujol Boix autor del llibre El llibre dels morts. El Nou testament Egipci. I si el Nou Testament no hagués nascut a Jerusalem, sinó entre els papirs de l antic Egipte, i si els evangelis, les cartes de Pau i fins i tot l Apocalipsi beuen directament del Llibre dels Morts i el transformen en clau cristiana? És la tesi d aquest llibre, fruit d una investigació minuciosa. Aquí, Horus esdevé Jesús, Seth el dimoni, el judici davant d Osiris es reescriu com a salvació per la fe. Darrere de cada escena de l Evangeli batega l Egipte mil·lenari: el judici de les ànimes, el rentat ritual de peus, el descens a l inframón, la promesa de resurrecció i la lluita contra els enemics de la llum. Un llibre que transformarà la nostra manera de llegir el Nou Testament. Una sacsejada teològica, una obra explosiva que desafia segles de dogma. Basada en textos originals, confronta el lector amb una pregunta inevitable: és el cristianisme la darrera gran relectura del Llibre dels Morts?.

 Les bourses européennes ont clôturé en légère baisse hier, freinées par le ton jugé « trop » prudent de Jerôme Powell, président de la Réserve fédérale américaine, sur l'évolution des taux d'intérêts.La baisse des actions en Europe est toutefois restée limitée portée par les gains du secteur de la défense, suite au changement de ton du président américain sur l'Ukraine.Les valeurs du secteur de la défense en Europe étaient donc recherchées, l'indice des entreprises de l'aérospatiale et de la défense a pris plus de 1,3% en s'échangeant proche de son record touché le 16 septembre dernier.Au même moment, l'indice européen Stoxx 600 était en repli de plus de 0,10%.À Paris, les groupes français Thales et Safran étaient en hausse respectivement de près de 2% et 0,5%.A l'inverse, l'action Stellantis a accusé la plus lourde chute de la séance parisienne avec un recul de près 3% illustrant les difficultés persistantes du secteur automobile européen.Le secteur du luxe n'a pas été épargné, avec le recul du titre Hermès de 2,8%, confirmant les préoccupations des investisseurs sur la demande dans cette industrie, Hébergé par Ausha.

A quest episodi 313 "Shoshana, Retrats d´un evangeli mut. Amadeu Alemany Sinopsi de Shoshana Serveis secrets israelians i missatges en pergamins componen una trama real narrada com una novel·la. L'autor va viatjar a terra Santa per motius periodístics, i una sèrie de vivències inesperades el van portar a conèixer un arxiu inèdit de pergamins que mostraven unes representacions estranyes i dibuixos de més de dos mil anys d'antiguitat, de l'època de Jesús. Va saber immediatament que allò era molt especial. Amb el temps es va guanyar la confiança de la persona que custodiava aquells testimonis gràfics, permetent accedir-hi. Amadeu Alemany va haver d'acceptar unes estrictes normes de confidencialitat, però va trobar la manera de poder-ho explicar embolicant-ho en forma de novel·la. Partint d'una investigació exhaustiva sobre la societat israeliana, els mecanismes que utilitzen els seus serveis secrets i l'arqueologia bíblica, sovint més hermètica del que puguem creure, aquesta vertiginosa història atrapa el lector tant per les aventures que narra, com pels seus personatges. Però, sobretot, impacta per alguns dels interrogants que planteja a nivell espiritual que, avui dia, no han estat resolts. A Xoshana l'autor se serveix de la ficció per explicar una veritat custodiada en algun lloc de Jerusalem, que canvia la percepció de la història de la nostra civilització i els cànons religiosos establerts.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Vita Sidorkina, a former Victoria's Secret model who reinvented herself as a lifestyle and wellness content creator. In this conversation, Vita opens up about her extraordinary path from leaving Russia at 17 to pursue modeling in New York, to walking the runway for luxury brands like Hermès, Montcler, and ultimately, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She shares the often unseen realities of modeling apartments, the pressure of being “too short” for high fashion, and the sacrifices she made to build her career in a fiercely competitive industry. But Vita's story didn't end with the runway. After marriage and motherhood, she faced the abrupt slowdown of her modeling opportunities and the emotional toll of letting go of her original dream. For years, she wrestled with fear and self-doubt before finally uploading her first YouTube video, five years after creating her channel. Today, Vita reaches over 1.3 million people across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, connecting through authenticity, humor, and a fresh approach to wellness and lifestyle content. Discover how Vita overcame perfectionism, embraced vulnerability, and found confidence on camera. She reveals the mindset shifts that helped her break free from the fashion industry's limits, why consistency and experimentation became the keys to growth, and how she's now building her next chapter with a wellness platform designed to inspire balance and resilience. More than just a story of modeling or content creation, Vita's journey is about courage, reinvention, and the power of trusting yourself when the old playbook no longer works. Whether you're an aspiring creator or a seasoned entrepreneur, her insights will remind you that it's never too late to rewrite your path.

As her Hermès planner exploded across the first-class cabin, her mortified seatmate suggested she needed a bag with pockets. "Hermès doesn't make one with pockets," Jane sighed. He replied: "But I am Hermès." Jean-Louis Dumas, head of the luxury empire, watched Jane sketch her dream bag on an airplane vomit bag. Three years later, the first-ever Birkin arrived as a gift… kicking off what would become the most expensive, hard-to-get handbag design in the world. But this hand-stitched masterpiece wasn't always the ultimate status symbol. The Birkin didn't fit in the logo-obsessed 1980s, and didn't truly pop off until it landed a starring role on Sex and the City. Today, Birkins start at $12,000 with impossible waitlists, while the rarest sell for $450,000—more than some houses—and have spawned multi-million-dollar counterfeit rings. Discover how Hermès weaponized scarcity to invent the Holy Grail of handbags; how a luxury product can outperform the stock market; and why the Birkin Bag is the best idea yet.Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.Episodes drop every Tuesday, listen here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/—-----------------------------------------------------GET ON THE SHOW: Shoutouts: https://bit.ly/4c6ySI5 Facts: https://bit.ly/4b4lOSRSOCIALS:Instagram: https://bit.ly/3KvMYXE TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tboypodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tboypod FOR MORE NICK & JACK: Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3KwrmuuConnect with Nick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolas-martell/ Connect with Jack: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-crivici-kramer/ OR LISTEN: Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4aQ4kthApple: https://bit.ly/4emy04f Anything else: https://tboypod.com/ —-----------------------------------------------------ABOUT US: From the creators of Robinhood Snacks Daily, The Best One Yet (TBOY) is the daily pop-biz news show making today's top stories your business. 20 minutes on the 3 business, economics, and finance stories you need, with fresh takes you can pretend you came up with — Pairs perfectly with your morning oatmeal ritual.

Méditation, neurosciences et leadership spirituel Dans cet épisode du Positive Leadership Podcast, j'ai le plaisir d'accueillir Hermès Garanger : Lama, conférencière, auteure et productrice de télévision. À seulement 19 ans, elle est devenue la plus jeune femme Lama occidentale après une retraite spirituelle de plus de 1 000 jours. Depuis, elle a consacré plus de 30 000 heures à la méditation et plus de 25 ans à une carrière dans l'audiovisuel, réussissant à allier deux univers : la spiritualité et la production télévisuelle. Nous parlons ensemble de son parcours unique, des enseignements tirés de ses recherches en neurosciences, et de la manière dont elle intègre la méditation dans les entreprises pour transformer le bien-être, la gestion du stress et la performance collective. Hermès partage également sa vision du rôle des femmes dans la société, de l'équilibre entre vie spirituelle et vie professionnelle, ainsi que de l'avenir de la méditation dans nos sociétés modernes.

He replied: "But I am Hermès." Jean-Louis Dumas, head of the luxury empire, watched Jane sketch her dream bag on an airplane vomit bag. Three years later, the first-ever Birkin arrived as a gift… kicking off what would become the most expensive, hard-to-get handbag design in the world. But this hand-stitched masterpiece wasn't always the ultimate status symbol. The Birkin didn't fit in the logo-obsessed 1980s, and didn't truly pop off until it landed a starring role on Sex and the City. Today, Birkins start at $12,000 with impossible waitlists, while the rarest sell for $450,000—more than some houses—and have spawned multi-million-dollar counterfeit rings. Discover how Hermès weaponized scarcity to invent the Holy Grail of handbags; how a luxury product can outperform the stock market; and why the Birkin Bag is the best idea yet.Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you're obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.Episodes drop every Tuesday, listen here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/—-----------------------------------------------------GET ON THE POD: Submit a shoutout or fact: https://tboypod.com/shoutouts FOR MORE NICK & JACK: Newsletter: https://tboypod.com/newsletter Connect with Nick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolas-martell/ Connect with Jack: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-crivici-kramer/ SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tboypod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tboypodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tboypod Anything else: https://tboypod.com/ NEWSLETTER:https://tboypod.com/newsletter OUR 2ND SHOW:Want more business storytelling from us?

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning wrap up the morning discussing the Blue Jays' loss to the Reds. Are the issues finally catching up with the team, or is it a surprise?

MLB.com writer Keegan Matheson (25:33) also joins to analyze the game, bullpen challenges, and the roles of Trey Yesavage and Eric Lauer moving forward.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Philip Hoffman is here to share his journey from CPA to investing in fine art. He founded The Fine Art Group, where he advises wealthy families on art investing, valuations, lending, and education. He outlines the global art market as a $60 billion industry with only $6–10 billion considered truly investable, highlights the risks and pitfalls of treating art as an asset class without expert guidance, and shares cautionary tales of investors losing millions by buying discounted works without due diligence, contrasted with success stories where expertise and timing led to strong returns. We discuss...  Philip Hoffman began his career as a CPA at KPMG, later became CFO and youngest board director at Christie's, and eventually founded The Fine Art Group. His firm advises wealthy families across 28 countries on art transactions, valuations, education, and art-backed lending. Investable art includes high-value works, jewelry, vintage cars, and luxury items like Hermès handbags, while most antiques and collectibles fall outside this category. Investors can access art through funds, private credit against art, direct ownership, or syndication with others. Hoffman emphasizes that art buyers should use reputable advisors, much like when purchasing real estate, to avoid costly mistakes. A client once spent $4 million on 40 polo paintings by an unknown artist with no resale market, ultimately finding them worthless. Using an advisor costs a fraction of an artwork's price but can prevent costly mistakes. Even seasoned collectors often misjudge valuations; in one example, most experts mistook a $1M Monet for a $10M Monet. Condition issues, provenance gaps, and theft risks make professional due diligence essential in high-value purchases. Current market conditions—with top-tier art down 20–30% from recent highs—make this one of the best times in decades to buy blue-chip works. Wealthy collectors often allocate about 5% of their portfolio to art, balancing enjoyment with investment. The black market exists, but high-profile stolen works are nearly impossible to sell through reputable channels. Damage usually devastates value, though rare cases like Banksy's shredded artwork increased in worth due to notoriety. Mishandling in storage, shipping, or moving can ruin artworks, highlighting the importance of professional logistics. Over decades, disciplined art investors with good advisors typically achieve strong compounded returns comparable to or exceeding equities.

From Birkin to Boatkin, this episode Wisdom from the Wardrobe podcast serves up style headlines and shopping dilemmas. The team kicks things off with Hermès news: the original Birkin bag just sold in 10 minutes for $10 million dollars (yes, you read that right). But while fashion royalty makes headlines, LL Bean's upcycled “Boatkin” tote is sparking debate, is it homage, irony, or straight-up infringement? Then, we dive headfirst into fall fashion previews and early shopping sales like the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Are these so-called “fall previews” helpful wardrobe planning tools, or do they just trip us up while we're still sipping iced lattes in linen? The team debates whether stocking up mid-summer is smart strategy or style sabotage. Tune in for witty banter, fashion hot takes, and a reminder that sometimes the heat of summer makes it hard to think about coats, no matter how chic they are. Happy Styling!

奢侈品是一门很强调阶级、年代和品味的生意，行业的话语权长期把握在欧洲巨头的手上，很少有美国品牌能够打入这个圈子。但过去几年里，有一个名叫The Row的美国新品牌开始受到更多关注——这是一个借助基础款和神秘感，实现出奇制胜的故事。The Row背后的创始人，是美国知名的童星姐妹花Mary-Kate Olsen和Ashley Olsen。她们并没有按照常规思路，将名流的曝光流量与创业生意紧紧绑定，而是反其道而行之，将私密、舒适和低调作为品牌的核心价值。这几乎等同于放弃大众市场，但大众的好奇会日益累积。但让The Row真正扶摇直上的，是整个时尚行业共同创造出的静奢风潮流。The Row不断从其他同行身上学习，也吃到了Phoebe Philo离开Céline时的市场红利，最终在Margaux这一个爆款包袋上出圈。至此，它用不到20年的时间，实现了小众品牌的胜利。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |00:48 对立统一的新锐奢侈品牌02:34 童星姐妹的“匿名”创业07:25 小众和大众市场的双线试水09:56 “富人的优衣库”18:28 其他静奢风品牌的印记21:56 Phoebe Philo开创的市场空间28:13 Margaux，挑战铂金包的爆款| 延伸资料 |第一财经杂志-《The Row：独立奢侈品品牌生存方法论》《微小的总和》Wall Street Journal-The Surprise Luxury Labeli·D-An interview with Mary-Kate and Ashley OlsenWashington Post-How the Olsen twins stole the show on ‘Full House'Dualstar EntertainmentTHE RISE AND FALL OF BARNEYSVogue-What a no-phone fashion show means in the social media eraVogue-Nadège Vanhée on Her First 10 Years at Hermès: “I Never Look Back”The Business of Fashion-Who Will Dress the Philophiles?The Business of Fashion-The Row's Margaux: A Birkin in the Making?Wall Street Journal-Trying to Dethrone the Birkin?

Hour 4 opens with a discussion about wealthy women on Manhattan's Upper East and Upper West sides purchasing high-quality knockoff luxury bags from brands like Hermès and Chanel, with the hosts debating the ethics and practicality of buying "inspired" versus authentic designer items. The conversation covers consignment shopping, with personal stories about finding designer pieces at estate sales and thrift stores. The hour includes breaking news updates about changes to the National Museum of African American History exhibits and a discrimination lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings involving a biracial teen. The segment culminates in a dramatic confrontation when a photo surfaces allegedly showing Gary at a flea market shopping for fake designer goods, leading to heated denials, accusations of AI manipulation, and passionate arguments about the authenticity of the evidence, with Gary vehemently defending himself against claims he was buying knockoff items.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do consumers pay six figures for a handbag they'll rarely use — or line up overnight for a hoodie they might never wear? The answer lies in status, scarcity, and the zero-sum game of exclusivity. In this episode of Behavioral Economics in Marketing, we explore how zero-sum branding drives desire by making status a competition. Using real-world examples from Hermès to Supreme, we unpack how luxury brands use scarcity, gatekeeping, and social comparison to increase their perceived value — not by what they offer, but by what they withhold. We'll explore the psychology behind why exclusion works, the power of signaling theory and social proof, and how marketers can ethically apply these principles to craft irresistible brand experiences. If you're building a brand that trades in aspiration, identity, or prestige — this episode is your blueprint. Keywords: luxury branding, zero-sum marketing, scarcity marketing, social status, exclusivity, behavioral economics, Hermès, Supreme, signaling theory, social comparison, artificial scarcity, brand strategy Behavioral Economics in Marketing Podcast | Understanding how we as humans make decisions is an important part of marketing. Behavioral economics is the study of decision-making and can give keen insight into buyer behavior and help to shape your marketing mix. Marketers can tap into Behavioral Economics to create environments that nudge people towards their products and services, to conduct better market research and analyze their marketing mix.

This special teaser episode of Behavioral Economics in Marketing revisits the powerful and deeply personal Season 5: Lessons from the Fire — a series born from the devastating Colorado wildfire that changed my life and inspired new ways to see decision-making, risk, and resilience through the lens of behavioral economics. We highlight two of the most compelling episodes from that season: Zero Sum Games and Insurance — where we unpack why insurance, while rooted in zero-sum logic, plays such a vital role in managing risk and restoring peace of mind. Social Status and Zero-Sum Branding: Why Luxury Thrives on Exclusion — a fresh companion episode exploring how brands like Hermès and Supreme tap into scarcity and status to drive aspirational behavior and exclusivity. This teaser sets up a deep dive into how zero-sum thinking influences both consumer behavior and marketing strategy — whether it's about protecting your future or elevating your image.

Walk up Madison Avenue, and there's Hermès, Gucci and Tom Ford. Then, down in Soho is The RealReal, a luxury consignment store where you can find largely the same Gucci stripes, pebbled Hermes leather or giant Tom Ford zippers.

In this special summer edition of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis return to the mic for a jam-packed Month-in-Review episode. With interviews from the CommerceNext Growth Show rolling out all summer long, the duo takes a break from the regular cadence to reflect on the key developments dominating retail headlines.Kicking things off, Michael and Steve catch up on their summer travels, from retail safaris to personal DIY projects, before diving into on-the-ground observations from recent store visits. They note intensified promotional activity, flagging department store performance, and struggling retailers like Kohl's—whose housekeeping and inventory issues speak volumes about the deeper structural challenges facing legacy banners.A major theme is the ripple effect of evolving tariff policies. Steve breaks down the shifting landscape of trade "deals"—or lack thereof—impacting everything from apparel to automobiles, including the end of the de minimis clause that could reshape the business model of players like Shein and Temu. While retailers have largely absorbed tariff costs for now, Q4 pricing and profitability are big question marks, particularly for cash-strapped players.The conversation turns to macroeconomic conditions and a surprisingly resilient U.S. consumer. However, Steve warns against viewing “the consumer” as a monolith, emphasizing growing bifurcation between income brackets. The luxury market underscores this divide—Hermès continues to thrive, while Gucci and more aspirational brands struggle, and Saks Global faces mounting losses and vendor tensions.The episode also unpacks Amazon's latest earnings, with standout 23% growth in ad sales, despite investor jitters around AWS and an uncertain outlook.Other hot takes include AI's expanding role in customer interaction, the controversy around American Eagle's “gene/jeans” ad featuring Sydney Sweeney, and the headline-grabbing soap opera surrounding Hudson's Bay's failed resurrection attempt in Canada.Looking ahead, Michael and Steve preview August retail earnings, the fall retail conference season, and the ongoing evolution of AI-enabled search.  About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers. He is the bestselling authro of two books: Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption and Remarkable Retail: How To Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption.
