Hi, and welcome back to Line Sheet. I landed in Milano this morning, just in time for the Fendi show. More on that below, plus a few other fashion-y tidbits. Lucky for you, superstar Rachel Strugatz is back with the real story of what happened with Violet Grey, the luxury beauty emporium purchased by—who else?—Farfetch in 2022. This is an element of the Farfetch fallout that few have explored, and of course, Rachel has the goods on what went wrong (beyond the obvious) and who is maybe, possibly, probably going to buy it. (The name may sound familiar to you…)
P.S.A.: If you need some podcasts to listen to during the Fashion Month marathon, might I suggest the Hermès and Novo Nordisk episodes of Season 2 of Acquired, the former of which just dropped this week? (I am sure you’ve already listened to last year’s LVMH ep.) They are long, but fun. Also, please don’t send me your Spotify playlists in return—my musical tastes are very limited.
P.S.: If you want to sign up for Puck before we see each other this week, use my extra-special code (LINESHEET, duh), for a meaningful discount.
Mentioned in this issue: Farfetch, José Neves, Violet Grey, Cassandra Grey, Fendi, Kim Jones, Alessandro Michele, Samuel Ross, A-Cold-Wall, Moncler, Ruba Abu-Nimah, NTWRK, Aaron Levant, BuzzFeed, Hailey Bieber, Sant Ambroeus, Net-a-Porter, Cos Bar, Pati Dubroff, Margot Robbie, “brand heat,” and much, much more.
