Show Notes
On this week’s episode of the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska discuss two big news stories: the tariffs' last-minute delay and the impact on the fashion industry, and Prada’s acquisition of Versace (16:44).
Later in the episode, we’re joined by Glossy editor-in-chief Jill Manoff for a roundtable discussion on the state of the department store (23:55). We cover everything from the graveyard of department stores that have closed — like Barneys and Henri Bendel — to the reasons European department stores have thrived while their American counterparts haven’t. We also touch on Saks Fifth Avenue’s notorious delay of vendor payments and brands and retailers' evolving relationship.
