  • Too much ego, not enough insight

    Imran Amed dominates conversations and doesn’t give his guests space to speak. The podcast feels self-important and lacks humility. If you want genuine insider insight, this isn’t the place.

    Quite the politician, he hasn’t answered any of your questions! You did so well Imran to friendly debunk some of his vacuous statements. It must be fun working ‘for’ him, my way or the highway style am guessing. Off on a slight tang here, Italian fashion is extremely misogynistic and that’s the manner exactly

Fashion's Ozempic Reckoning
Q: What are brands doing to address fluctuating bodies without shaming customers?
Brands like Soma are meeting customers where they are, offering adaptable products and avoiding moralizing terms, while others experiment with fit guarantees and flexible sizing to maintain trust.
Fashion's Ozempic Reckoning
Q: Why are GLP-1 drugs provoking such a different reaction than previous weight-loss conversations?
They are uniquely effective, socially visible, and linked to broader conversations about body image and accessibility, making fashion confront long-standing sizing and marketing practices in a way unseen before.
What's Really Happening in Luxury Right Now
Q: Where is the luxury market most buoyant right now and why?
The two biggest consumer markets, the US and China, are where growth and scale are still essential, with a focus on authentic storytelling and value that resonates emotionally with discerning customers.
Leena Nair and Matthieu Blazy on Creativity and the Power of the Human Hand
Q: What advice do you have for leaders who want to lead in a global context in an era of uncertainty?
Lead with curiosity and humility, listen to diverse voices, and be willing to be vulnerable. Recognize the problem is complex, and commit to finding thoughtful, collaborative solutions while preserving humanity in decision-making.
Why Are So Many Brands Faking Scandals?
Q: Do these tactics translate into sales, or are they mainly about awareness?
The guests agree that for many launches, awareness and engagement are the primary goals, with sales sometimes delayed or influenced more by the halo effect than immediate purchases.
