Podcasts about Ralph Lauren

Major questions are looming on two critical fronts – the fate of the Fed independence and the future of the AI trade. It's been a big week for both. We discuss with CNBC's Eamon Javers, Allianz' Mohamed El-Erian, CNBC's Kristina Partsinevelos and Partners' Group Anastasia Amoroso. Plus, we discuss a big shift in consumer spending and what it could mean for U.S. companies like Tapestry and Ralph Lauren. And, Robinhood's Stephanie Guild tells us how she is positioning as we head into a new trading month. 

Want more customers? You need better customer acquisition strategies — ones that actually work in today's marketplace. Too many brands still take a passive “build it and they will come” approach, but today's consumers — especially those from underrepresented and underserved communities — don't show up where they haven't been invited. In this episode, Sonia Thompson, inclusive marketing strategist and host of Inclusion & Marketing, shares 20 proven customer acquisition strategies you can use to win more customers now. Organized into five key pillars — Visibility, Belonging, Experience, Voice, and Conversion — you'll hear real-world examples from brands like NYX, Mastercard, Toyota, and Ralph Lauren. Whether you're a marketing leader at a Fortune 100 company or an entrepreneur building your customer base, this episode is your playbook for attracting, converting, and keeping more of the people you want to serve. Stop waiting for customers to find you. Start inviting them in.

There was a tragedy in Minneapolis when someone open fired on a catholic school. Two children were killed, 17 others injured. The shooter then committed suicide but had left a hate filled note. The first high speed trains left Boston yesterday. No winner in the Powerball yesterday. Actress Elizabeth Banks will play Karen Read in the new series on Prime. Taylor Swift's Ralph Lauren dress sold out in minutes. The Red Sox played the Orioles yesterday and won 3-2, they have a day game today. The Patriots picked up Tommy DeVito off waivers.

Today, we're focusing on the topic of style with Naked Beauty host and Chief Content Officer of Refinery29 Brooke DeVard Ozaydinli. She began her career in social media and marketing at companies like Ralph Lauren, Viacom, and Instagram, but eventually built something of her own. To fulfill her desire to speak to women she admired about their approach to beauty and address the lack of representation in the podcast industry, in 2016, Ozaydinli launched her podcast, Naked Beauty. Since then, it has won an iHeartMedia Award for Best Beauty and Fashion Podcast and has released over 350 episodes. Earlier this summer, Ozaydinli also announced her return to the corporate world, with her new post as chief content officer at Refinery29, bringing her podcast with her. On this episode, she talks about the positive and negative impact of social media, advice for those looking to launch a side hustle, and her favorite beauty and style trends right now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The team dove headfirst into the news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, dissecting everything from her sold-out Ralph Lauren dress to that monster $1.5 million ring. Tim reckons the “three months’ salary” rule doesn’t quite apply when you’re a millionaire NFL star. Ricky shared what it was like breaking the news to the biggest Swiftie she knows — and how it nearly caused a domestic crisis. Even Donald Trump weighed in with his two cents, despite recently calling Taylor a loser. It’s safe to say this engagement has everyone, from Swifties to presidents, losing their minds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aishwarya Iyer built one of the fastest-growing premium CPG brands by doing what many startups overlook: putting product integrity, brand trust, and strategic timing ahead of rapid retail expansion. In this episode, Aishwarya, the founder and CEO of admired pantry staples company Brightland, shares how discovering a major gap in the olive oil industry sparked the creation of her mission-driven, design-forward brand. She dives into her philosophy of disciplined growth, reveals why she turned down Whole Foods twice, and explains why building a lasting business starts with knowing your customer better than anyone else. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Aishwarya Iyer, Founder & CEO, Brightland – Aishwarya draws parallels between her personal journey as a new mother and entrepreneur, and emphasizes the importance of belief and mindfulness in the growth of and success of Brightland. She talks about how Brightland was born out of a conviction that consumers deserved better olive oil, the company's focus on sourcing California-produced, high-quality oils and how she educated herself about the category and entrepreneurship. Aishwarya is candid about her early doubts, logistical missteps, and the pressure of launching Brightland, how she landed a small but impactful New York Times mention and her decision to turn down Whole Foods (twice).  The conversation also delves into Brightland's brand strategy, where the beautiful, elevated packaging acts as a “Trojan Horse” to invite education and trial. She also talks about why Brightland launched a more accessible everyday line, inspired by brands like Ralph Lauren that successfully straddle luxury and mainstream markets. Aishwarya discusses how PR, storytelling, and thoughtful retail strategy have shaped Brightland's growth, and stresses the importance of product integrity over just aesthetics. She closes with advice on avoiding comparison and noise, encouraging entrepreneurs to periodically unplug from social media to reconnect with their vision and the reasons that they launched their companies.  Brands in this episode: Brightland, Aura Bora, Tip Top Cocktails

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we're talking about the British Advertising Standards Agency banning two Zara ads that it deemed showed “unhealthily thin” models, a labor dispute at Gucci that could lead to over 1,000 employees going on strike, and updates from Capri Holdings and Ralph Lauren. Later in the episode, we speak with Anu Narayanan, the president of women's and home at Antrhopologie, about the company's decision to spin off one of its private labels, Maeve, into its own standalone brand. Narayanan also gave insight into her leadership style, the right time to invest in business expansion and the importance of bringing in new perspectives.

In this episode of You Have to Wear Something, we unpack the bittersweet closure of beloved Black-owned beauty brand Ami Colé, and what it reveals about the barriers Black women entrepreneurs still face. Then, we get into Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad and its tone-deaf “great genes” message — because let's be real, eugenics wrapped in denim isn't the flex they think it is. Plus, we spotlight Ralph Lauren's Oak Bluffs collection, a rare nod to Black wealth, legacy, and leisure that has us asking: is this celebration or just another sanitized version of our truth? From mitochondrial DNA to the Black origins of jeans, we cover the culture — and who gets to profit from it.

Retail success isn't just about having a fantastic product—it's about understanding the business of selling. On this special encore episode of The Voice of Retail, I welcome Liza Amlani, renowned retail strategist and co-author of The Whole Sale: Profitable Wholesale Strategies for Brands. Liza shares insider insights from her 20+ years in buying, merchandising, and retail consulting, helping brands navigate the complexities of wholesale expansion.In a rapidly changing marketplace, many direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands struggle to break into wholesale partnerships, unsure how to negotiate terms, optimize product placement, or manage markdown strategies. Liza outlines the critical retail fundamentals that brands must master to thrive in major retail environments like Walmart, Target, and specialty stores.During this insightful conversation, Michael and Liza discuss:The most common mistakes brands make when entering wholesale and how to avoid them.Why strong retail partnerships are the key to long-term success.How to negotiate product placement, pricing strategies, and markdown terms with major retailers.The role of merchandising strategy in maintaining shelf space and increasing sales.The wholesale vs. direct-to-consumer debate—why it's not just about margins, but about growth and exposure.With firsthand experience as a buyer for iconic brands like Ralph Lauren, Holt Renfrew, and Club Monaco, Liza brings a wealth of knowledge on what it takes to get "retail ready." She explains how emerging brands can scale strategically, leverage retail insights, and position themselves for long-term profitability.If you're a brand looking to expand into wholesale—or a retailer aiming to strengthen vendor relationships—this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you succeed in today's competitive retail landscape.

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

You've heard of triple threats — but none quite like Bruce Hulse: a Cornell two-sport athlete, a globetrotting supermodel, and a lifelong seeker of spiritual truth.We talk to Bruce about his evolution from athletic star to one of the most recognizable male models of the 1980s and beyond. With a modeling career spanning over 40 years, Bruce has worked with icons like Bruce Weber, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren... and Cindy Crawford.

Hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany ask: Why Do Some Black People Feel Like “White is Right”? In too many folks' eyes, a thing ain’t good until it’s been adopted by mainstream (white) culture. The same news story that makes waves on CNN falls flat on BET. The same person buying a fancy sweater from Ralph Lauren will scoff at House of Gray. Black folks are not immune to this, those who automatically trust a white doctor (or other specialist) over a Black one, for example.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum talk about Black elitism and Black owned brands with the owner of Actively Black, Lanny Smith. You might’ve seen Lanny Smith’s viral posts recently where he addresses the controversy around Ralph Lauren’s new “Oak Bluffs” line of apparel. Oak Bluffs, a town on Martha’s Vineyard, has been a gathering place for the Black community for more than 100 years. Folks have called the clothing line “elitist;” the jackets and blazers cost well over $500. Should we denounce this celebration of Black culture just for being elitist? Maybe, maybe not. More importantly, we do not need white businesses to validate Black culture. The Black community spends 10’s of billions of dollars on apparel every year, and just a fraction of that goes back to the Black community, even though WE are the source of so much American style. Let’s talk about how we change THAT. Plus, what is happening in Gaza right now is beyond horrific. We have to spend a little time updating y’all on the situation, Gazans are starving to death.

Aaron McManus and Erwin McManus sit down in Brooklyn with Arturo Castaneda, founder of Storytellers and Creators, to explore his remarkable journey from small beginnings to becoming a creative force in the fashion industry. Arturo shares his nervousness about this being his first podcast, while Erwin praises his profound creativity. They discuss how people often seek advice from those without expertise, highlighting the importance of voices like Arturo's in creative industries. Arturo opens up about his upbringing, learning sewing from his mother at a young age, making his first pair of shorts at 12, and facing challenges that shaped his resilience. He recounts moving to New York in his late 20s, enduring homelessness while working multiple jobs, and how a chance meeting at a deli introduced him to the fashion world, showing how small moments can lead to life-changing opportunities. He describes his breakthrough at J Crew, starting in the stockroom and rising toward a director of merchandising role before receiving an unexpected interview at Ralph Lauren. Arturo details his evolution from receiving clerk to concept designer on Ralph Lauren's creative services team, contributing to Olympic uniforms, Wimbledon collections, and showroom concepts, and reflects on how Ralph Lauren's leadership cultivated creativity and gave him global opportunities. The conversation shifts to Storytellers and Creators, the company he founded in 2014, initially focusing on tailoring before expanding to wider creative services. During COVID-19, they pivoted to produce 30,000 PPE gowns weekly for New York City hospitals, with Arturo highlighting Jessica, who emerged as a vital team member, and reinforcing his commitment to community, simplicity, and analog creativity. Arturo concludes by sharing his design philosophy, valuing discipline over talent and simplicity over excess, discussing the teaching culture where everyone is seen as a creator and mentorship is central, staying rooted in heritage while pushing creative boundaries, and maintaining a human touch in design. His vision for the future includes expanding into new areas while remaining authentic to his values, leaving listeners inspired by a life built on craftsmanship, humility, and love for the process.Watch On Youtube!https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNTnygno9obT1Wo8ZlA8jrv2lBNKGihD4Join the Mind Shift community here: http://erwinmcmanus.com/mindshiftpodFollow On Socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@ErwinRaphaelMcManushttps://instagram.com/mindshiftpodhttps://instagram.com/erwinmcmanushttps://instagram.com/aaroncmcmanusJoin The Newsletter!https://erwinmcmanus.com/newsletter

In the first of our 8-part summer series produced in partnership with CommerceNext, our guest is  Ken Pilot—retail executive, tech investor, and host of The Retail Pilot: Leaders & Legends podcast.Ken's legendary career spans decades and includes pivotal roles such as President of Gap Global, Factory Stores at Ralph Lauren, and leadership positions at J.Crew, American Eagle, and ABC Carpet & Home. He takes us behind the scenes of launching Gap Outlet, transforming a single underperforming store into over 100 high-margin locations in just 36 months, ultimately making it the most profitable division at Gap. The conversation then shifts to current macro challenges, particularly tariffs and global sourcing. Ken unpacks the "tariff math" few are talking about, warning that even modest increases could wipe out 10 points of margin, especially for smaller brands without pricing power or manufacturing flexibility. He anticipates a hit to Southeast Asia, outlines strategic moves by companies like Gap to diversify sourcing, and speculates on the economic implications for North American retail.Next, Ken delves into the retail tech landscape, providing a forward-looking perspective on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), the emergence of natural language search, and how retailers must adapt both on-site and externally to remain visible and competitive. He highlights the companies he's advising and investing in, including "Curated For You" (an AI-driven occasion-based merchandising platform) and "Raspberry AI" (tools that help designers iterate visuals from sketches to campaign-ready assets). He also discusses the creative tension AI can introduce and how forward-thinking teams are adapting.Finally, we examine the potential of Retail Media Networks (RMNs) as an underutilized profit stream, particularly in a high-cost, low-margin environment. Ken balances caution with optimism, emphasizing the need for retailers to experiment, remain agile, and stay laser-focused on the customer and core product offering.

Samuel Goldman joins the Law & Liberty Podcast to talk menswear and "Ralph Lauren nationalism."

Our fashion choices can change more than just our appearance—they can revive an entire culture of craftsmanship! I sat down with George Kalajian, a fifth-generation artisan with a deep passion for fashion. We talked about New York's once-thriving garment district, and how the rise of fast fashion didn't just change the way we shop—it nearly erased the soul of American-made quality. George shared how our obsession with cheap, fast fashion has led to a loss of skills, artistry, and pride. He shared how what used to be considered standard quality is now labeled “luxury” simply because so few people know how to make things well anymore. But there's hope! Through mentorship programs like Project Golden Bear, George is rebuilding the future of fashion one apprentice at a time. If you care about craftsmanship, sustainability, or simply want to buy better, tune in now. Let's bring heart and integrity back to fashion together!“What is considered to be luxury today is what was just well-made 40 or 50 years ago.” ~ George KalajianIn this Episode:- Introducing George Kalajian- The garment district then and now- The shift to overseas production - The decline of craftsmanship- Reviving artistry in fashion: Project Golden Bear- Challenges of fast fashion and decline in fabric quality- The economic impact of consumer fashion choices - A historical perspective on luxury fashion- Future plans and contact informationAbout George KalajianGeorge Kalajian is a master craftsman and owner of Tom's Sons International Pleating, a family business in New York City's Garment District with over 150 years of heritage.

In this episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis begin with a news segment covering recent market developments, notably the "tariff turmoil" between the US and China. They discuss how the US has partially de-escalated its stance, with tariffs dropping from a proposed 145% to 30%, creating a 90-day window for retailers to import products. However, they emphasize that smaller retailers remain disproportionately affected due to limited resources compared to giants like Home Depot.The hosts also cover recent retail earnings reports, including Walmart's strong comp store sales growth despite withdrawing Q2 guidance, and their strategic pricing approach to tariff impacts. Other earnings news included On Running's impressive 40% sales growth, while American Eagle, JC Penney, and Burberry reported significant losses. Additional news touched on refinancing challenges at Kohl's, potential bankruptcy concerns at Saks, and Dick's Sporting Goods' surprising acquisition of Foot Locker.The featured interview with Stephen Yalof, CEO and President of Tanger, explores his extensive career spanning retail real estate, including roles at New Plan Realty Trust, Gap, Ralph Lauren, and Simon before joining Tanger in 2020 – humorously noting he arrived when "every one of their 3,000 stores was closed" due to COVID.Yalof provides a fascinating historical perspective on outlet centers, explaining how they evolved from manufacturers' sales of returned items and factory seconds to a strategic retail channel. He details how the Tanger family themselves were shirt manufacturers who realized they were "selling more stuff out the back door than out the front door" before creating the first outlet center in Burlington, North Carolina.The conversation explores how vertical retailers like Gap transformed the model, creating consolidation stores for excess inventory before establishing dedicated outlet locations. This evolution progressed from pure excess inventory management to serving aspirational customers who understand brands but can't afford full price – what Yalof describes as bringing customers "into your ecosystem."In response to competition from online and fast-fashion retailers, Yalof explains Tanger's strategy shift from purely "power shopping" to full-service experiences with improved food, entertainment, and amenities. He compares this to how stadiums have evolved despite at-home viewing advances, stating, "We're the general merchandise managers of our shopping centers... it's about picking the right uses, right experiences, the right amenities."The interview concludes with insights into Tanger's digital engagement strategies, including how they leverage customer data to create targeted marketing campaigns and provide stackable discounts through retailer partnerships, guided by their vision of "using customer insight to inform the future of shopping."
