Made in Italy? France? Or China? Let’s Get Into It.

We're joined by veteran brand and retail consultant Marc Yuquico to discuss the brouhaha over where luxury goods are made vs. what the tag says. We've all seen the viral videos claiming over 80% of luxury brands that say Made in Italy or France are actually Made in China. It's a rumour that's spread rapidly. And sparked an important debate over the issues of labor practices, ethical transparency, and the rising costs of luxury goods. Join us on TikTok for more.

Nike & Skims Hard Launch Their New Relationship

Talk about a power move: Kim Kardashian's brand new deal with Nike is unprecedented and has the potential to really move the needle for both behemoths. We dig into the nitty gritty of what it entails, while looking at the activewear space as a whole. And while I take your questions, I also have a very important one for you. What do you wear to move? From workouts to plane rides to grocery runs, what comfy/stretchy/cozy labels are getting it right (or wrong) right now? I certainly have strong opinions on the matter. Speaking of close knit relationships, we also look at Burberry's latest love affair. 🗨️ Find me on social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moshalundstrom/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@NEWSFASHWebsite: https://www.moshalundstrom.com/https://www.newsfash.com👜 My other work: Therma Kota: https://thermakota.com/Vogue Contributor: https://www.vogue.com/contributor/mosha-lundstrom-halbert🙋🏼‍♀️ About Me:I am a multidisciplinary journalist, editor, and on-air host.

Why Hermès Stays Winning While Rivals Race To The Bottom

This week, we look at Hermès Q4 sales reports, which showed impressive growth in a difficult climate for most. Plus, in a sea of lemming-like influencers eager to unbox their latest luxury acquisition, one lady stands out to me right now. Her name is Nadine Kasuga (@nkasuga89 on TikTok) and she's the real deal. From her three perches in Tokyo, London, and New York, this exceedingly chic collector actually educates her viewers on her prolific Hermès collection which spans three decades. It's giving connoisseur vs. clout chaser.Speaking of clout chasing, we also look at the annual reports of Gucci and Moncler. I kid, but not really. Moncler is not for me but many love it clearly. And Gucci sadly is not for anyone at the moment besides influencers and celebrity ambassadors who are being paid handsomely. We discuss how they could change that and more. Enjoy my darlings.

Menswear We’d Wear + Can We Talk About Trump 2.0 Fashion?

I'm diving into the ongoing sea of menswear in Milan and Paris to select some standouts that yes, I'd wear. From Pharrell's latest at Louis Vuitton to Egonlab, an emerging French label we're loving right now. We're also talking about what's happening at Dior, going backstage at Prada, delving into the politics of LVMH dressing Ivanka Trump, and discussing if reporting on the new-again First Lady's historical fashion moments is inappropriate? Is covering it, celebrating it? Is ignoring it petty and biased?
We're all trying to navigate these increasingly choppy waters while keeping our heads held high, and our hats tilted to as not to obscure half our face. Or maybe that's just me?
Thanks for all the great questions. I appreciate it. I miss my dog.
