The Glossy Podcast

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 remember Giorgio Armani, whose death was announced Thursday morning. We also talk about the appointment of Chloe Malle as the new editor of U.S. Vogue and Rachel Scott as the new creative director of Proenza Schouler. And we discuss the phenomenon of creative directors leading multiple brands at once, as Scott will continue to design for her own brand, Diotima. Lastly, we talk about MyTheresa announcing layoffs at Yoox Net-a-Porter and the state of the luxury e-commerce market. Later in the episode (20:00), we speak with Eugene Tutunikov, the founder and CEO of SwissWatchExpo. The Swiss watch industry is in a time of turmoil right now, as U.S. tariffs wreak havoc on its export plans and the prices of luxury watches fluctuate wildly.

This week, they discuss Abercrombie’s continued earnings winning streak and how its sub-brand, Hollister, and NFL partnership are helping the company scale without overextending. They also look at how American Eagle is bouncing back from a misfired campaign with Sydney Sweeney with a strategically timed Travis Kelce collab, reflecting a bigger shift toward athletes acting as creative partners. Finally, they explore Marks & Spencer’s new resale storefront on eBay and how it ties into eBay’s growing role as resale infrastructure. Later in the episode, Glossy brings you a Back-to-School Trend special, where Zofia Zwieglinska sat down with the founder of the After School newsletter and Gen-Z consumer trends expert Casey Lewis. Launched in 2021, After School has become a trusted source for brand marketers and editors, thanks to its sharp insights on everything from TikTok hauls to youth retail habits. This year, Lewis tracked thousands of back-to-school hauls on TikTok to decode what Gen Z is buying for back-to-school and why.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we give a tariff update. The steep tariffs on China were delayed yet another 90 days, but tariffs on countries including Switzerland are now in effect, wreaking havoc on the luxury fashion industries. We also talk a bit about Gildan acquiring HanesBrands — both brands are giants in the world of comfortable plain T-shirts. Finally, we talk about the controversy around Adidas and Willy Chavarria’s Oaxacan Slip-On. Later in the episode, international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska joins us for a roundtable discussion on the state of the sneaker market. There was a gold rush of sneaker collaborations and category expansions through the late 2010s and early 2020s, but now the market is evolving. New players like On and Hoka are taking market share from traditional stand-bys like Nike. And experimental new silhouettes — from the slim-fitted Adidas Samba and Puma Speedcat to the wilder sneaker-loafer and sneaker-ballet flat hybrids — are becoming more popular. For this discussion, we also spoke with Alex Lotier, CEO of sneaker-focused Culture Media; Noah Thomas, formerly of Highsnobiety and currently the associate fashion director for men’s and kid’s at Macy’s; and Brendan Dunne, senior director of customer, community and engagement at StockX. Below are a few highlights from the conversation.
