Once upon a time—actually about two years ago—I was asked to work on the Catwalk book about Jean Paul Gaultier. Upon looking at an Excel sheet that listed all of Gaultier’s womenswear collections (ready-to-wear and couture) between 1976 and 2020, my initial excitement about the project turned into terror. Each book in the series provides a comprehensive look at a designer’s careelr with reviews and often unseen pictures from every collection. Gradually, though, I turned back to flesh from stone, lured by the joy of research. Gaultier is many things—but boring isn’t one of them.Now that the tome—it’s a heavy volume—is out, and I’ve been asked by my editor to talk a bit about my Gaultier adventure. I’ll start with a few takeaways that focus on the big picture followed by some very subjective...

In a conversation presented by Listrak, Jamie Elden, chief revenue officer of Listrak, sat down with Amanda Smith, chief executive officer of Fairchild Media Group, to give an overview of 2025 and a look at the future of retail. This year, there were major concerns across the retail landscape with the uncertainty of tariffs and headwinds — 44 percent of retailers Listrak spoke with expected flat growth for 2025.

Brands and retailers are smarter — with the adoption of artificial intelligence learning and leaning into data analytics. For Listrak, the key takeaways from the second half of...

It’s not uncommon for fashion brands to cross over with musicians, but many of the biggest music collabs tend to focus on a few musical genres. Pop stars and rappers like Beyoncé, Tyla and Britney Spears are common collaboration targets for fashion brands.But recently, rock music has started to make a comeback in fashion circles. Designer brands like Cucculelli Shaheen, Zadig & Voltaire and Nili Lotan have started to collaborate with rock artists, incorporate rock music into their live shows and incorporate the imagery of classic rock bands of the previous decades. Rock’s minority status among fashion music collaborations reflects its place in the musical zeitgeist. In 2008, rock songs made up around 20% of the Billboard Top 100 chart. By 2016, it was down to just 2.2% as pop and hip...
