Isha Marla is a 14-year-old with a love for science who recently finished her last year at Tumwater Middle School in the Beaverton School District. She is also just one of 10 students in the nation, and the only one from Oregon, who made it to the finalist round of a national science competition sponsored by Discovery Education and 3M, which manufactures a vast array of products, from Post-It Notes to stethoscopes. The 3M Young Scientist Challenge is open to middle school students who for this year’s competition submitted a short video to describe their scientific solution to a real-world problem. Marla’s entry focuses on using a material she made from seaweed and other ingredients to produce an environmentally sustainable fabric for making clothes. Her proposal aims to counter the phenomenon of fast fashion associated with brands like Shein, H&M and Uniqlo that are popular with consumers eager to buy the latest fashion trends at low prices. But chasing those trends at bargain prices can take a heavy environmental toll, with nearly two-thirds of discarded clothes ending up in a landfill, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Marla joins us for more details about her entry and chance to win a cash prize and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” this fall.

À Marseille, dans le sud de la France, l'artiste Mariam Benbakkar, fondatrice de l'association Filles de blédards, propose régulièrement des visites qui mettent en lumière le passé colonial de la ville. Une histoire aujourd'hui encore méconnue, alors que l'Algérie fêtera le 5 juillet ses 63 ans d'indépendance. De notre correspondante à Marseille, Le rendez-vous a été donné un matin, dans l'artère commerçante de Marseille, rue Saint-Ferréol. Une vingtaine de personnes se regroupent autour de l'artiste Mariam Benbakkar pour une « balade du centre-ville colonial ». Ce quartier aux imposants bâtiments a été construit à partir de 1848, quand après vingt années de guerre, l'Algérie a été divisée en trois départements français. « Toutes les ressources exploitées d'Algérie, mais aussi des autres colonies, arrivent par le port de Marseille. Le quartier devient une vitrine des armateurs », pose Mariam, d'une voix assurée. Elle fait circuler un livre de photos : Marseille, première ville à organiser une exposition coloniale en 1906, Marseille et son musée colonial, Marseille, « porte de l'Orient ». À lire aussiLa première guerre d'Algérie (1830-1852): une «évidence oubliée» Une histoire invisibilisée L'histoire coloniale se fait discrète dans la ville phocéenne. Ici, un petit vitrail avec un bateau, là, un fronton effacé. Point de plaques ou d'explications. La guide fait entrer le petit groupe dans le flamboyant magasin Uniqlo, au dôme aussi haut que celui de la préfecture. C'est l'ancienne Banque centrale de l'Algérie française. Les lettres C et A apposées sur le fer forgé, et une lourde porte blindée dans les cabines d'essayage, sont les vestiges des coffres-forts de l'empire. Cachée derrière des cintres, une plaque évoque le passé du bâtiment. « Il y avait avant un magnifique plafond peint, avec les villes colonisées, mais qui a été recouvert par la climatisation d'Uniqlo », raconte Mariam. « C'est du savoir qui a été complètement invisibilisé », remarque Anne, venue assister à la visite avec son bébé en poussette. Celle qui a grandi dans ces rues estime « mal connaître les histoires cachées derrière les bâtiments. » Pour Pauline, une autre jeune femme du groupe, c'est l'occasion de se questionner sur son passé colonial. « Je ne suis pas issue de l'immigration, mais je me sens concernée », estime-t-elle. Et pour Mariam, tout le monde a, de près ou de loin, une histoire personnelle avec les colonies françaises. Mariam Benbakkar n'est ni sociologue, ni historienne, rappelle-t-elle souvent. Mais si elle a choisi de parler de sa ville, c'est parce que « transmettre de manière orale, dans la rue, est pour moi le meilleur moyen de changer la mentalité des gens. » Elle travaille depuis plusieurs années autour des imaginaires post-coloniaux, avec son association Filles de blédards et son compte Instagram Marseille Coloniale. « Marseille est une ville nœud sur l'enjeu de la France et des migrations. C'est une culture extrêmement riche, mais pas représentée dans les institutions culturelles », explique l'artiste à la connaissance impressionnante, fascinée par l'espace public, l'architecture, le cadastre et la construction privée. À écouter aussiDevoir de mémoire: la France face aux crimes coloniaux au Cameroun Toujours d'actualité Elle cite des noms d'industriels et politiques aussi, tombés dans l'oubli : Jules Charles-Roux, riche armateur dont la petite fille se mariera avec le maire de Marseille Gaston Deferre, Édouard Marie Heckel, créateur du musée colonial ou encore Paulin Talabot, fondateur du chemin de fer Paris Lyon Marseille et lobbyiste pour la création du canal de Suez. « Il y a une bourgeoise industrieuse qui s'est faite des fortunes sur cet empire colonial. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui, la répartition des biens spoliés ne se fait pas bien », souligne-t-elle en parlant des enclaves privées dans les quartiers riches de la ville. Autre arrêt, sur la Canebière, l'actuel C&A, anciennement Grand hôtel du Louvre et de la Paix, présente quatre immenses statues représentant quatre continents : l'Europe et les Amériques, drapés d'une toge, portent une machine ailée en signe de progrès, et l'Asie et l'Afrique, seins nus, portent un éléphant et un chameau. « Ces images qui s'implantent au XIXe siècle, on en subit les conséquences aujourd'hui. C'est comme si l'espace urbain avait un inconscient, on finit par avoir ces images-là à l'intérieur de nous. » Pour Mariam Benbakkar, cette histoire pas si lointaine est plus que jamais d'actualité. « Il faudra des réparations des dégâts qu'a faits le capitalisme et l'impérialisme au XIXe siècle, qui a un impact jusqu'aujourd'hui, dans le système bancaire, économique, de propriété privée. Et pour ça, il faut savoir qu'on a été spolié de notre bien commun et réclamer nos droits fondamentaux : l'accès à la mer, à la nature, à des logements décents, à des rues pour tous et toutes. » À Marseille, si la mairie ne s'est pas encore saisie de ces questions, des artistes, auteurs et autrices travaillent à ancrer ces récits oraux dans la durée. Un guide du Marseille colonial, écrit par Alain Castan, a été publié en 2022, alors que l'Algérie fêtait ses soixante ans d'indépendance.

It is July 7th and this is: Nakashima Nightly. I'm your host, Dan Burkett, bringing you the latest and greatest about ATP superstar Brandon Nakashima. Tonight, we're recapping Wimbledon. Ladies and gentlemen, tennis aficionados and casual Centre Court snackers alike, gather 'round for the tale of Brandon Nakashima's charmingly clinical, statistically stunning, and unexpectedly spicy run at Wimbledon 2025—a performance that left fans grinning, commentators reaching for new adjectives, and opponents...well, mostly reaching for towels.Let's set the scene: it's 2025, the grass is freshly trimmed, the strawberries are overpriced, and Brandon Nakashima strolls into Wimbledon like your calm, unbothered friend who somehow always finds parking. Ranked just outside the top-tier headlines but firmly inside the “don't sleep on him” club, Nakashima arrived with quiet confidence, clean groundstrokes, and a serve so effective it should probably be taxed.Now, about that serve. Forty-nine aces. That's right. Forty-nine. That's not a stat, that's a flex. The man served up more aces than a Las Vegas poker table. And with only 4 double faults? That's practically monk-like discipline. Somewhere, John Isner nodded in solemn approval.Brandon landed 72% of his first serves in—basically turning each service game into a polite but firm announcement: “Hi, I'll be holding serve now.” And when he did? He won 77% of those points. Seventy-seven! At that point, his serve was less a weapon and more a Wimbledon-certified public utility.But let's not ignore his second serve—where many players flirt with disaster, Brandon was dating efficiency. He won 60% of second serve points, which is like saying, “Even on my backup plan, I'm still better than most of your first ideas.”And it wasn't all serve and no spice. Nakashima broke serve 10 times over the fortnight—proving that he wasn't just a one-trick pony. He was also a sly little thief, sneaking return games when opponents least expected it, like a tennis-playing ninja in Uniqlo.Now, while the British crowd loves their big names and royals-in-the-royal-box cameos, by the second week, Centre Court was whispering one name over tea and crumpets: Nakashima. He didn't just win matches—he conducted them, like a symphony of clean technique, calm demeanor, and the occasional “did he just paint the line again?” shot that left everyone in a mild state of disbelief.Opponents described him as “annoyingly consistent,” “robotically precise,” and “way too nice to beat me this badly.” Brandon, ever the gentleman, would simply give a humble nod, pack his bag, and move on like he hadn't just dismantled someone's Wimbledon dream with surgical forehands and a serve that could knock a pigeon off the scoreboard.Did he win the title? Well, not quite. But he went deep. Like, “call the hotel, we're staying another week” deep. And more importantly, he won over fans with his stoic swagger, effortless shot-making, and charmingly understated post-match interviews. Somewhere between the ace count and the unforced error avoidance, Brandon Nakashima became Wimbledon's most polite menace.So as the final grass clippings settled and the applause faded, one thing was clear: Brandon Nakashima didn't just have a run at Wimbledon—he glided. And next year? Well, let's just say...Centre Court better start reserving his spot early.

On le connaît pour son élégance sur les courts, ses revers à une main et ses vingt titres du Grand Chelem. Mais aujourd'hui, Roger Federer s'illustre surtout dans un autre classement : celui des milliardaires. Selon l'indice Bloomberg, repris récemment par BFM, l'ancien numéro un mondial dispose désormais d'une fortune estimée à 1,1 milliard d'euros. Et fait remarquable : il a gagné bien plus en dehors des terrains que raquette en main.Car si ses gains sportifs ne sont pas négligeables – environ 111 millions d'euros cumulés en carrière, pour 103 titres remportés – cela ne représente qu'une petite portion de sa fortune totale. La clé de sa réussite ? Un savant mélange de contrats de sponsoring premium et d'investissements judicieux.Sponsoring de luxeFederer a toujours soigneusement cultivé son image. Sans scandale, sans déclaration controversée, il est devenu une valeur sûre pour les grandes marques. Rolex, Lindt, Mercedes-Benz : des noms qui font rêver, et qui sont restés fidèles bien après sa retraite en 2022. Mais c'est surtout son contrat avec Uniqlo qui marque les esprits : en 2018, il quitte Nike pour signer un contrat de 300 millions de dollars sur dix ans avec la marque japonaise. Une somme colossale, qui montre l'ampleur de son capital-marque.Un coup droit dans la techMais c'est aussi sur le terrain de la finance que Federer a frappé fort. En investissant dans On Holding AG, une marque suisse de chaussures de sport, il a vu son flair récompensé. Il détient 3 % du capital, et cette participation est désormais valorisée à 430 millions d'euros. L'entreprise, introduite en Bourse, affiche une capitalisation de 14,5 milliards d'euros. Ce pari gagnant représente à lui seul une bonne moitié de la fortune du champion.Une fortune à l'image du joueurAujourd'hui, Roger Federer rejoint le cercle très restreint des sportifs milliardaires, aux côtés de Tiger Woods ou Michael Jordan. Mais contrairement à ces figures flamboyantes, Federer incarne la sobriété, la rigueur, la constance. Un profil qui rassure les investisseurs comme les marques, et qui lui a permis de bâtir un empire tranquille, mais solide.Son secret ? Peut-être résumé par cette formule d'un analyste : « Il ne dit jamais de bêtises ». Et dans le monde de la communication et des affaires, cela vaut parfois de l'or. Hébergé par Acast.

Luxury retail is no longer confined to storefronts and seasonal campaigns. Brands are bringing hospitality to retail, building deeper emotional connections, and extending their presence beyond the product. Coach, among other heritage labels, is experimenting with cafés, branded bars, and immersive spaces that offer more than a transaction—they offer belonging. According to MG2 Advisory, 1 in 5 consumers say immersive, sensorial store experiences are a top reason they return to luxury stores, and nearly 1 in 4 cite creative offerings and high-touch services as key motivators for repeat visits. These findings reinforce the growing demand for experiences that feel distinct, emotionally engaging, and memorable.So, how can retail brands design experiences that go beyond shopping and spark genuine loyalty and community?In this episode of Retail Refined, host Melissa Gonzalez speaks with Giovanni Zaccariello, SVP of Global Visual Experience at Coach. Together, they unpack how Coach is transforming retail environments into community-centered spaces, blending Gen Z values with design innovation and consumer insights. From cafés to digital universes, Coach is testing bold ideas to turn brick-and-mortar into something far more memorable. This approach is a leading example of bringing hospitality to retail in a way that is both localized and globally resonant.Key highlights from the episode:Coach is integrating cafés, bars, and mobile coffee trucks into retail locations to increase dwell time and emotional connection.Each experience is hyper-localized—menus and design reflect the culture of each location, from Tokyo to Singapore.Coach sees hospitality as a strategic way to engage Gen Z and Gen Alpha, blending community, culture, and self-expression.Giovanni Zaccariello is a seasoned visual merchandising and experiential design leader with over two decades of global experience across top fashion and lifestyle brands. As SVP of Global Visual Experience at Coach, he has driven innovation through immersive retail concepts, hospitality integration, and digital engagement strategies, with prior leadership roles in Asia and North America. His career spans brands like Mexx, Marks & Spencer, Topshop, Esprit, and Uniqlo, showcasing expertise in global visual strategy, consumer-centric design, and cross-cultural brand storytelling.
In Episode 77 of the GHM Podcast, we talk about JJK being officially back in theaters with the release of the Hidden Inventory Arc and never-before-seen scenes in theaters, the many anime collabs coming soon: One x Dodgers, Uniqlo x One Piece, and Lego x One Piece. Oh, and we hit a Silver Gear 5 Luffy Worth $1500?!?
Starting this month, I'm going to do two new things. One is that I'll plan on releasing episodes on a more regular schedule, on the first, third, and fourth Thursdays of each month. The other is that the second of those three episodes will be paywalled, and it will be a bit different in content from my usual podcast. It'll be shorter, typically a half hour give or take, and it will be much more topical than I usually like to be. I'll talk to my guest or guests about some current politics and news, and I'll talk about the literary intellectual controversy or trend of the moment, if there's one at hand when we're recording.I won't be offended if you don't want to pay, but of course will be grateful if you do. And to my stalwart existing paid subscribers who forked over money when I wasn't even paywalling anything, much gratitude. You're on my hall of honors list, which as you know is hanging in the burned out husk of the Friendly's Restaurant on Sumner Ave in Springfield Massachusetts. -DanMy guest on the podcast today is Derek Guy, who is North America's premiere men's fashion journalist and critic. This isn't a highly competitive category—most fashion writing is dumb and corrupt, and most of it is about women's fashion—but Derek wears the crown exceptionally well. He shows what's possible in that space, consistently writing thoughtful, substantive essays not just about what's hip in men's fashion but what it means culturally, sociologically, politically.If you've heard of Derek, it's almost certainly because for a while he was an accidental celebrity on Twitter. He was just on the platform, doing his well-regarded but relatively obscure men's fashion thing, slowly building his online presence, when the algorithm took hold of him and made him ubiquitous on the site, dropping him into the feeds of millions of people who had never shown any interest whatsoever in his subject. As the Wall Street Journal reported in 2023:Of all the changes at Twitter Inc. under Elon Musk so far, this might be the most unexpected: A California-based menswear writer, who weighs in on incorporating western-style wear into your wardrobe, and on his favorite Italian tailors, suddenly seems to be all over the platform.The Twitter account @dieworkwear, run by Derek Guy, is popping up left and right in users' timelines—even for those who don't follow him. The phenomenon has befuddled users—and Mr. Guy himself.Derek doesn't know why this happened. He didn't have a backroom deal with Elon Musk. It just happened. He became the “men's wear guy on Twitter.”I initially reached out to Derek not to have him on the podcast, but because I was trying to develop a story pitch on men's fashion in the age of Trump, and I wanted to see if I could pick his brain for ideas. It turned out he was already at work on a few different stories on different aspects of that topic, and it occurred to me that I could kill two birds with one podcast episode. One of the articles we discuss in our conversation hasn't run yet. The other, his Bloomberg story “The Evolution of the Alpha Male Aesthetic,” goes back into the history of macho male fitness influencer fashion to explain why the new crop of alpha male influencers dresses the way it does. Among the interesting ironies it points out is that the styles we currently think of as manosphere chic—Joe Rogan in his super tight jeans and super tight t-shirts, Andrew Tate stuffed into slim fit suits like a misogynistic sausage—are directly descended from 1990s high-end fashions that were intended as rejections of machisimo. Guy writes:Early adopters of slim-fit style were fashion-forward urbanites who embraced this European vision of youthful cool. They wore shrunken blazers, used chamomile-infused moisturizers, and could explain the difference between Chelsea boots and jodhpurs. But their aesthetic rattled the mainstream. In search of a label, the media landed on “metrosexual,” a term that, not so subtly, cast suspicion on a man's gender and sexuality. The metrosexual was someone who took pride in taste and understood why “some women have 47 pairs of black shoes.” What set him apart wasn't just his grooming habits or aesthetic literacy, but his attitude towards gender performance. As the New York Times wrote in 2003, this new archetype possessed “a carefree attitude toward the inevitable suspicion that a man who dresses well… is gay.”While slim-fit marched down high-fashion runways, it also crept through indie rock shows, early style blogs, and menswear forums like StyleForum and Superfuture. These communities turned fit into a kind of doctrine, elevating silhouettes like APC New Standards and Uniqlo button-downs as markers of elite taste. As The Strokes played onstage in threadbare tees and skin-tight denim, wealthy urbanites chased the look by purchasing Slimane's most popular creations: Dior's 17 cm and 19 cm jeans, named after the width of their leg openings. Those priced out of luxury labels raided the women's aisle for tight denim, a gender-bending hack that Levi's would later celebrate with their 2011 “Ex-Girlfriend Jeans” for men. Even the heritage revival got a trim. The traditional symbols of masculinity—workwear, Ivy tailoring, military surplus—were recut for a different era, one where style was no longer bulky but compressed, tailored close to the bone. In its early years, slim fit was met with derision and low-grade cultural panic. Critics said consumerism had hollowed out traditional manhood, replacing it with men who spent too much time curating their appearance. Others fretted that the rise of shrunken silhouettes was a symptom of masculine decay. But soon, everyone became metrosexual. Fashion magazines treated slim fit as a kind of pseudo-science: shoulder seams had to sit on the edge of the shoulder bone; trousers must taper just-so; any loose fabric signaled laziness or sloppiness. J.Crew helped bring this new silhouette into everyday offices. Their Liquor Store concept shop, opened in 2008, transformed an after-hours watering hole into a menswear-only boutique laden with 1960s-era references to traditional masculinity—antique rugs, leather club chairs, and Hemmingway novels sitting alongside Red Wings—even as they sold slim chambray shirts and cropped blazers. At the same time, Mad Men introduced a new masculine figure: Don Draper. Emotionally sealed off and impeccably dressed, Draper gave the slim-cut suit an edge of stoic authority. Slim tailoring had became synonymous with professional competence and upward mobility.Eventually, slim fit stopped feeling radical. Its early ties to gender rebellion faded as the silhouette was absorbed into more conventional ideas of masculinity. What once looked subversive—shrunken jeans, tight shirts, tailoring that clung instead of concealing—became standard fare in offices, weddings, and Tinder profiles. New subcultures rebranded the look with more conventionally masculine associations. EDC (Everyday Carry) enthusiasts, armed with pocket knives, flashlights, and multitools, adopted slim-fit gear as part of a rugged preparedness ethos. Their slim tactical pants and fitted henleys weren't about gender ambiguity; they were survivalist uniforms. Athleisure brands such as Rhone and Alo Yoga pushed the same silhouette in poly-stretch fabrics, merging gymwear with streetwear into a softer kind of masculine armor. In Silicon Valley, tech founders embraced minimalist wardrobes built around Everlane tees, slim joggers, and all-white sneakers. The aesthetic once dismissed as “metro” was now treated as self-optimization. Slim fit, in the end, didn't rewrite the code of masculinity. It just offered a new way to perform it.In addition to the two stories we discuss, he's also gone on to write a new story on a person we discuss in the conversation - Trumpist intellectual Michael Anton, who is a huge clothes horse and for a long time was a regular presence on high end men's fashion forums. It's a fun conversation, particularly if you're interested in questions of masculinity, culture, and identity. Listen! Get full access to Eminent Americans at danieloppenheimer.substack.com/subscribe

What do Billie Eilish, Doja Cat and Jennie from Blackpink have in common? They have all been spotted wearing Vietnamese fashion brands. You might have noticed that your clothes and shoes have labels saying "Made in Vietnam". The garment and textile industry in Vietnam is massive - it's the second biggest exporter in the world, after China. And it employs three million people, most of them women. Global brands like Nike and Uniqlo make their clothes there. But recently, Vietnamese brands are being celebrated in their own right and finding new fans. Thuong Le from the BBC Vietnamese Service talks to us about the Vietnamese fashion industry and why their brands are becoming so popular outside the country. What's their appeal? Fashion influencer Joyce Ng from Singapore explains. Vietnamese fashion business consultant Quynh Nguyen, who works for the brand LSOUL, describes the impact foreign buyers have had on the industry. And Professor Kim Myung-hee from South Korea, a former stylist of Rain and Jun Ji-hyun, tells us why Vietnamese fashion isn't just a short term trend.

Zara and Tata's retail arm, Trent, have been partners for 15 years. But that relationship might be coming to an end because Zara's not pulling its weight anymore. Its share of Trent's overall sales has dropped from 28% to just 10% in six years. Its rivals like H&M and Uniqlo have moved faster, reached more cities in a much shorter time span.Meanwhile, Trent's been busy. It used what it learned from Zara and built something better. Zudio, its budget fashion brand, just hit $1 billion in sales in FY25. It's fast, affordable, and everywhere. Now, Trent's planning to upgrade Westside into a premium brand to go head-to-head with Zara and H&M.How Zara lost its edge and what did Trent get right?Tune in to find out.If you have any thoughts or questions about this episode, send them to us as texts or voice notes on Daybreak's WhatsApp at +918971108379.

Four years ago the broadcaster Naga Munchetty spoke out on air about her own awful experience of getting a coil fitted, and received a huge response from listeners. It led to her talking about her debilitating periods and an eventual diagnosis with adenomyosis aged 47. She's written about this and included the experiences of other women. Naga spoke to Anita Rani to discuss her book ‘It's Probably Nothing'.A wave of female designers have been appointed to some leading high street brands - including Jacqui Markham at Whistles, Maddy Evans at M&S, and Clare Waight Keller, the former Givenchy designer, to Uniqlo. So how much of a difference does it make for consumers that women are at the helm? Nuala McGovern spoke to Jacqui Markham, creative director at Whistles and Catherine Shuttleworth, CEO and founder of Savvy Marketing.A BBC documentary The Sex Detectives: Keeping Kids Safe follows a ground-breaking project in Bristol which engages the help of street sex workers to protect children and young people at risk of sexual exploitation. Avon & Somerset Police have teamed up with charity Barnardo's and partnered with Bristol's street sex workers to gather intelligence about dangerous offenders and paedophiles. Nuala was joined by social worker Jo Ritchie, at Barnardo's, and sex work liaison officer Rose Brown.In a special programme exploring 'mistakes' and our relationship with the word, Nuala McGovern speaks to journalist Nicole Mowbray who tells about the mistake she made at The Observer newspaper which caused an 'international incident'.A new report by HSBC looks at the obstacles and opportunities facing midlife women entrepreneurs. With more midlife women starting businesses than any other demographic, what is it like to be a female founder at 50+? Author of the report, Eleanor Mills, owner of her own company Noon and Helen Lord, co-founder of Rehome, a UK-based business specialising in the resale of used and ex-display kitchens, join Kylie Pentelow to discuss.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Emma Pearce

A wave of female designers have been appointed to some of the leading high street brands - most recently Jacqui Markham at Whistles, Maddy Evans at M&S earlier this year, and Clare Waight Keller, the former Givenchy designer who joined Uniqlo last year. So how much of a difference does it make for consumers that women are at the helm? Nuala McGovern speaks to Jacqui Markham, who has only just become the creative director at Whistles and Catherine Shuttleworth, retail commentator, CEO and founder of Savvy Marketing.Imagine a medical facility where almost exclusively female patients are kept in a drug-induced slumber for months at a time, woken only to be fed and bathed and given electro-convulsive therapy to erase their memories- sometimes even their identities- all without their consent. It sounds like the stuff of dystopian sci-fi, but in fact it was a real psychiatric ward in a 1960s NHS hospital, as uncovered in a new book, The Sleep Room: A Very British Medical Scandal. Nuala speaks to the author, Jon Stock, about his investigation and hears from a former patient, Mary Thornton, about her experiences and a consultant psychiatrist, Professor Linda Gask from Manchester University. Daisy Crawford says she was left feeling embarrassed and tearful by the treatment of Easyjet staff who threatened to charge her for an extra bag when she tried to board a flight with a bag containing her breast milk, a breast pump and cool packs as well as her hand luggage. Daisy joins Nuala to explain why she thinks her treatment was discriminatory against breastfeeding mums. Have you ever written or received any love letters? A new performance film, The Extraordinary Miss Flower, was inspired by just that – in fact a suitcase full of them - sent to just one woman. Icelandic-Italian singer/songwriter Emilíana Torrini felt so inspired by the letters that were sent to Miss Geraldine Flower, her friend Zoe's mum, that it led her to get back into the studio to create her first solo record in 10 years as well as an accompanying film. She joins Nuala live in in the studio to talk about both – and to perform live.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey
Margo and Abby catch up on pink taxes, party store shakeups, and grandma hobbies making a comeback in the latest episode of Creative Current Events. This special segment of Windowsill Chats dives into cultural shifts, small business realities, and brand storytelling that's catching their creative eye. They also explore how big-box stores like Michaels are filling retail voids left by Party City, how hobby shops in the UK are struggling, and what all this means for the crafting world. The conversation also dives into the rising conversation around the Pink Tax and Pink Tariffs—and how these unseen costs hit both consumers and creative entrepreneurs. Plus: a fresh look at niche content creation, a POD platform for artists, why Uniqlo is serving coffee now, and the nostalgic charm of slow, tactile hobbies like embroidery, crochet, and calligraphy.

In the latest episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Phil Wahba, Senior Writer at Fortune, to explore the ever-evolving landscape of retail leadership, consumer behavior, and strategic transformations. Wahba reflects on more than a decade covering retail bankruptcies, leadership shifts, and innovation, highlighting that while consumer desires have remained relatively stable—good value, seamless experiences, and quality products—retailers often struggle to meet these expectations consistently.Wahba shares insights into how some of the biggest names in retail excel by focusing on core strengths. He points to Costco and Walmart as prime examples of companies that continue to thrive by relentlessly pursuing operational efficiency, value pricing, and consistent store execution. In contrast, many department stores have downsized or disappeared because, as Wahba puts it, they “chased the wrong rabbits”—pursuing short-term gains over long-term brand definition. Dillard's stands out by maintaining steady store counts and focusing on a solid merchandising strategy, proving that success hinges on knowing your customer and offering them a clear reason to shop.The conversation then shifts to Hudson's Bay and its recent struggles, which Wahba attributes to a lack of focus on fundamental retail principles and a greater emphasis on real estate extraction. He also touches on the broader implications of retail real estate vacancies, noting that large anchor-store spaces often require creative repurposing—whether converted into smaller retail footprints, medical clinics, or mixed-use developments.Looking ahead, Wahba anticipates a future where technology plays a more backstage role, with the spotlight on operational improvements such as inventory management, demand forecasting, and smoother omnichannel experiences. Shoppers do not seek flashy tech for its own sake; rather, they want frictionless pathways to purchase. The episode also explores how retailers like Foot Locker and Gap might engineer turnarounds under new leadership, taking cues from successful transformations at brands like Abercrombie & Fitch.Wahba underscores that retail “winners” will be those that evolve with shifting consumer expectations while staying true to foundational principles: consistently fair pricing, well-curated inventory, and reliable customer service. The conversation wraps up with a look at up-and-coming brands and international retailers—including Uniqlo—that could make bigger U.S. expansions in the coming years if they adapt carefully to the market's nuances.Whether you're watching for the next big turnaround or seeking to understand why some iconic names falter, this episode offers deep insights into the interplay of leadership, strategy, and consumer loyalty—critical elements shaping the future of modern retail. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions and participated worldwide in thought leadership panels, most recently on the main stage in Toronto at Retail Council of Canada's Retail Marketing conference with leaders from Walmart & Google.

What does it take to lead luxury fashion for two decades—then make an unexpected pivot? My guest this week, celebrated fashion designer Clare Waight Keller, knows first hand. After shaping the vision at Chloé and Givenchy—where she famously created the Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress—Clare stepped away from the Paris catwalk to become Uniqlo's Global Creative Director.In this episode, Clare reveals why this was more than a career shift —it was a statement of intent. With luxury fashion prices soaring 52% since 2020, Clare's new mission is to show that great everyday design can be accessible to everyone, and that in the right hands “fast fashion” can be reimagined as slow fashion.Clare also takes us under the hood of her creative and decision making process—sharing why trusting her instincts is her superpower, why discomfort fuels her best work, and how seeing time as her most precious resource has shaped every decision she's made. We get to the truth behind why there are so few female fashion directors, what it was like to work with the Duchess of Sussex, and why Uniqlo's home-base of Tokyo is her favourite fashion capital yet.Clare Waight Keller is a revered force in fashion, and her journey—rooted in instinct, embracing change and long-term strategic thinking—offers inspiration to anyone forging their own path to just right.If you've ever wanted a peek behind the curtain of design creativity, are curious about how fashion is changing, or to hear from a woman at the top of her game in an industry dominated by men, this one's for you.

En nuestro Radar aparece la bancarrota en Estados Unidos de Forever 21: la cadena de tiendas anticipa su final en Estados Unidos, no haciendo justicia a su nombre y se declara en quiebra por segunda vez en los últimos seis años. La compañía parece que pierde la batalla con otros operadores de moda rápida como Shein, Temu o Uniqlo. El cierre de tiendas solo afectará al país norteamericano, como indica F21 OpCo, la compañía que opera sus tiendas. Aunque sea cierto esto, la verdad es que si echamos un vistazo a la distribución a los puntos de venta, si es para preocuparse por la viabilidad de la compañía: en Estados Unidos operan con 450 tiendas mientras que fuera de América hay sólo 69. La cadena tendrá que poner el punto de mira y una especial atención a Canadá y a México, donde poseen más de 200 locales. ¿Qué viabilidad tiene la empresa sin sus tiendas en Estados Unidos? Esta recuperación no ha llegado a tiempo y Forever 21 presentó pérdidas de 2024 de 150 millones de dólares. El panorama para 2025 no pintaba mucho mejor: según los documentos entregados ante un tribunal de cuentas en Delaware, las pérdidas para este año podrían ser de 180 millones. Así la deuda total de Forever 21 alcanza los 1580 millones de dólares y en los últimos tres años ha perdido más de 400. Números que obligan ahora a F21 OpCo a la liquidación de su negocio y de las existencias de sus tiendas. ¿Cuáles han sido los motivos principales de esta bancarrota? Si los tres últimos años se presentan como una losa demasiado pesada para Forever 21, 2021 supuso un rayo de luz tenue al que agarrarse. Dos años después de la bancarrota y ser posteriormente comprada por la marca Authentic Brands, la compañía registró ingresos de más de 2.000 millones de dólares. La alegría dura poco en la casa del pobre o eso dicen y la empresa encadenó dos años consecutivos de malos resultados. Shein adquirió una pequeña participación pero la incorporación del gigante minorista no pudo arreglar nada. Ahora F21 OpCo abre todas las posibilidades de una difícil viabilidad. Forever 21 fue fundada por los inmigrantes surcoreanos Do Won Chang y Jin Sook Chang en el año 1984. La tienda era popular sobre todo entre los jóvenes que buscaban prendas estilosas pero asequibles pero la llegada de operadores en línea como Shein o Temu ha precipitado su final.
Det går bra för den japanska klädjätten Uniqlo, vars basplagg säljer stort när många andra klädmärken visar dystra siffror. Hur kommer det sig? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det går så där för många klädmärken och modehus idag. Men det finns ett stort undantag och det är den japanska klädjätten Uniqlo, vars basplagg säljer som aldrig förr. Är det så att bekvämt och praktiskt numera trumfar snyggt och elegant? Har vi rentav slutat att klä upp oss? Och hur gick det egentligen till när ett basplagg som t-shirten gjorde resan från underkläder till mode? Det diskuterar Susanne Ljung och Samanda Ekman i veckans Samtal med Stil.
Are exposed ankles back? Luigi Mangione sure says so. Also, stuffie reports, Jibbitz musings, purchasable solutions, travel lacrosse balls, and more! Stuffie bag charms are happening at 10 Corso Como, we ate up Liza Corsillo's "I Spent 3 Hours at the Jellycat Diner" for NY Mag, and we're just getting to know Mofusand and their loreless world via their Uniqlo collab. Jibbitz-inspired living is taking over! The Boulder Public Library hosted a make-your-own jibbitz event, and shoe charms and sandal rings are coming for Birkenstocks. Speaking of Birks, do you have thoughts on Reykjaviks? We love this Ruth Madievsky quote in her piece in The Cut about the Berlant/Novak podcast: “The pair bonded over their mutual obsession with purchasable solutions to the problem of being alive.” Two of our current solutjions: a lacrosse ball when traveling and a magnifying mirror with a light. The concept made us think about the book Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. What purchasable solutions to the problem of being alive (aka Thingies?) do you rely on?
