Hi, welcome back to Line Sheet, and happy first day of Spring.
Let’s get going by
sharing some breaking news at the top: Goop Kitchen, Gwyneth Paltrow’s real exit opportunity, is opening in Silver Lake in early April. Finally, access to Calabrian chile Caesar dressing without having to drive to the Valley!
For the 99 percent of you who don’t live on the Eastside of Los Angeles, I’ve
got the latest from Europe (Dolce & Gabbana’s debt; more Versace personnel changes), New York (Printemps’ opening night), and San Francisco (an interrogation of my own feelings about the Gapaissance and some news on Zac Posen’s future at the company).
Programming notes: Today on The Powers That Be, I’m chatting with power forward–turned–shooting guard Peter Hamby about LVMH succession (who will get the kiss from
Daddy?). Plus… tariffs! Listen here and here.
Tomorrow on Fashion People, my guest is The RealReal C.E.O. Rati Sahi Levesque. We discuss shopping society’s collective addiction
to the resale platform, and what it has been like for her to watch its transformation over the past 14 years. I’ve known Rati for pretty much all that time, so this was a fun one. Listen here and here.
