A fashionable addition to WSJ Magazine’s Class of 2024 Innovators. Marc Jacobs has been named the magazine’s 2024 Fashion Innovator and will receive the honor at Tuesday night’s annual awards ceremony. In a new cover story by editor Lolly Satran, the designer takes center stage as we delve into the top fashion shows from his 40+ year career, personal fashion transformations, and self-kindness. As a bonus, Jacobs appeared on WSJ’s “The Job Interview” series, where he reflected on his most famous collections and the collaborators, including Anna Wintour, who helped him while he was battling addiction. .
“I think she has an incredibly kind heart,” Jacobs said of Winter. “When I was struggling with addiction, she took me out to lunch as Anna. She said, ‘Why don’t you learn to play tennis or something?’ Instead of doing drugs, I smiled earlier, and it’s like bless her heart. Yeah. If only it were that easy. ”

Fashion billionaire loses $58 billion due to luxury goods recession!
Top fashion businessmen Bernard Arnault, Francoise Betancourt Meyers and Francois Pinault have been hit hard recently by the downturn in fashion’s luxury goods. According to Business of Fashion, the three companies have lost a combined $58 billion so far this year due to a decline in demand for high-end products and a weak Chinese market. Of the three companies, Pinault is facing the biggest losses with Kering reporting that the company’s profits have fallen 63% since 2021, one of the largest drops in that period. The group has been most affected by the economic slowdown, which has hit brands such as Burberry and Gucci. Meanwhile, other stores such as Mara Hoffman, Interiors NYC, and SJP Collection have permanently closed.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ gag order request denied in ongoing sex trafficking case
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking case continues with new gag order denied. According to Page Six, Judge Arun Subramanian rejected Combs’ proposal for a gag order to prevent government officials from sharing information about his case with the press.

Combs was previously arrested in September on numerous charges, including sex trafficking, interstate transportation for prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy. Meanwhile, his trial is currently scheduled to take place on May 5, 2025, the same day as the highly anticipated 2025 Met Gala.
