Hi, and welcome back to Line Sheet. Congrats to the team at i-D (and Bedford Media)
for finally putting out a magazine! It’s been a journey, as we like to say. More from me in the coming weeks on how they did it. In the meantime, curious to know what you all think about the anonymous cover star idea.
In today’s issue, exclusive to Inner Circle
members (upgrade here), I check in on Marchesa, a favorite brand of mothers of the bride across America and a curious remnant of the Harvey Weinstein catastrophe. On the fashion-entertainment beat, I consider how Saint Laurent Production’s bet on Emilia Pérez helped establish the luxury label’s film offshoot as a legitimate player in Hollywood—Karla
Sofía Gascón tweets notwithstanding. I’ve also got news on another round of layoffs at Condé Nast, a readout from the LVMH Prize semifinalists presentation, and thoughts on the two biggest debuts of the week so far: Dries Van Noten and Tom Ford. (I’ll have more from Paris in Friday’s email.)
🚨🚨 Programming note: Tomorrow on Fashion People, I’m joined by New York Times reporter Misty White Sidell to discuss one of our shared
passions: The Row. We’ll get into what has made the brand—now backed by Mousse, the Wertheimer family office; Natalie Massenet and Nick Brown’s Imaginary Ventures; and others—so successful for so long, and the challenges ahead in this next phase of growth. It took me forever to find the right sparring partner for this episode, and luckily Misty has been reporting on The Row for almost as long as I have. I hope you enjoy it. Listen
here and here.

Three Things You Should Know...

- Groundhog Day is behind us, but Condé Nast layoffs never end: After a hefty restructuring at the end of last year that resulted in the exit of several longtime team players, Condé Nast is once again thinning out its staff. This morning, the union was informed that layoffs were imminent. I’m told the reduction will hit...

Designer and Harvey-ex Georgina Chapman makes a red carpet comeback in Marchesa,
accessorized by Oscar-winner Adrien Brody, while Saint Laurent Productions proves it’s a Hollywood player despite the Emilia Pérez ouster.

On Sunday night, as Adrien Brody ascended the stage of the Dolby Theater to
accept the best actor Oscar for his role in The Brutalist, he extracted a piece of gum out of his mouth and tossed it to his girlfriend, the fashion designer Georgina Chapman. It’s unclear whether this disgusting gesture was a planned bit, or a nervous reaction to his anticipated win. (Brody went on to insufferably ramble for more than five minutes, breaking the record for the longest Oscars speech in history.) Anyway, I found the gesture tacky, obviously, but
also curiously insulting to Chapman, especially given her complex history as...
