The trade war goes viral, a lawsuit against Revolve, and the WNBA draft with stylist Brittany Hampton

This week on the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest news of the week. And later in the episode, Glossy editor-in-chief Jill Manoff talks with Brittany Hampton (23:00), a stylist who dressed the No. 1 draft pick, Paige Bueckers, for this week’s WNBA draft.

In this week's news, we discuss a class action lawsuit against the fashion brand Revolve, alleging that the company has paid and gifted influencers for undisclosed sponsorships, which allegedly violates FTC rules on the matter. We also talk about the viral videos going around from inside Chinese factories and suppliers urging customers to buy luxury goods straight from them to avoid tariff price hikes.

Lastly, we discuss how the WNBA blew up last year, reaching its highest viewership levels ever in 2024. This year, the viewership of the WNBA draft remained at record levels. Fashion brands like Coach, Sergio Hudson and Louis Vuitton were all present at the event as the WNBA and its players continue to evolve into fashion mainstays.

Brittany Hampton has styled a number of players over the last few years, often starting to work with them while they’re still in college. But her closest client relationship is with Paige Bueckers, the UConn athlete who was the No. 1 pick at the draft this week.
