Today’s guest is Chantal Fernandez, writer at The Cut and New York Magazine, and co-author (with Lauren!) of Selling Sexy: Victoria’s Secret and the Unravelling of An American Icon. (Buy it here.) Chantal joined Lauren to discuss the growing importance of V.I.C.s (aka, Very Important Customers) to fashion brands as all eyes are on new Couture client Lauren Sánchez Bezos. They get into whether people should be mad that fashion brands engage with the Bezoses, and also chat about the economics of this fascinating part of the industry. (I.e., how much clients spend, what brands spend to woo them, and why it’s such a valuable part of the business these days.) Lauren also shares her thoughts on Chanel, Couture Week, and the state of the luxury market.
