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 discuss three big news stories: Kering has hired its new CEO, Luca de Meo, who comes from the automotive world, rather than the fashion or luxury sector. It’s an inspired choice at a time when Kering desperately needs a new direction. We also talk about FIFA, the international governing body of soccer, announcing the launch of its own luxury fashion brand. And we discuss a bill passed in the French Senate that would curtail fast fashion brands like Shein and Temu, requiring them to pay extra taxes and banning them from advertising. Later in the episode, our editor-in-chief Jill Manoff sits down with Warby Parker’s chief product and supply chain officer Kim Nemser. The conversation was recorded at our annual Glossy E-Commerce Summit, held this year in Miami in early June. Nemser spoke about Warby Parker’s omnichannel strategies, with a particular focus on how it’s integrating AI into many of its back-end operations.
