Hello, and welcome to Line Sheet. Today’s big story is a candid interview with Alexander Wang, the former wunderkind who has spent the last two-and-a-half years rebuilding his life in the wake of multiple accusations of sexual assault. (Wang eventually met with several of his accusers and the situation was resolved outside of court.) We covered everything from his scandal to the state of his business. Wang’s trajectory, after all, is a microcosm of the fashion industry’s transformation over the past 20 years into a consolidated, pop-culture machine.

Meanwhile, I’ve also got an analysis of the Pinault-wants-to-buy-CAA intrigue, and what to expect from a consummation. If Kering, Group Artémis, or all of the above are interested in a corporate membership, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Puck’s ace brand marketing executive Alex Bigler at alexandra@puck.news so she can organize that for you. (We’re high touch like that.)
But first… a brief dispatch from Los Angeles, where fashion people are also feeling the effects of the double whammy of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
