Hi, and welcome back to Line Sheet. Go Knicks! (I really mean it.)
Tonight is the
Hermès womenswear show in Bel Air, where I hope I’m lucky enough to see you. More on that tomorrow. In today’s oh-so-special Inner Circle issue (trade up here), I’ve got the details on all the major moves at Kering, where Alexander McQueen has a new C.E.O., Saint Laurent’s Cédric Charbit is getting reinforcement via an LVMH vet, and more speculation on who may replace beloved Bottega
Veneta chief Bartolomeo Rongone, who started at Moncler in April.
Up top, our guy Malique Morris is back with the scoop on more changes at Fear of God. Plus, a call for a moratorium on the word “Cruise” and a look at the truly mind-boggling fervor around Chanel’s Métiers d’art collection, which arrives in stores today.
Tomorrow on Fashion People, my guest is Zegna creative director Alessandro Sartori, who is showing his
latest collection in Malibu on Friday night. We chat about Oura rings, the purpose of a suit in the soft-pants era, why he loves color but only wears black and white, and plenty more. Listen here and here.
Also mentioned in this
issue: Luca de Meo, Nathalie Raynaud, Jerry Lorenzo, BMW Italia, Anthony Vaccarello, Gianfranco D’Attis, Louise Trotter, Demna, Vera Bradley, Bastien Daguzan, Anouck Duranteau-Loeper, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Luca Solca, Andrea Guerra, Nadège Vanhee, the Antwerp Fashion
Festival, Matthieu Blazy, Massimiliano Di Silvestre, Astrid Wendlandt, and more.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR

Agentic commerce isn’t a future concept. It’s already reshaping how people shop. Static storefronts are giving
way to guided,

|
• What agentic commerce is and why most AI tools don’t qualify
• Why AI discovery platforms aren’t built to convert for your brand
• Why owning your AI experience and your data is becoming non-negotiable

Luca de Meo’s grand turnaround plan for Kering was met with skepticism in April.
But insiders are starting to see his penchant for installing executives from outside the industry as the only path forward.

It’s been about six weeks since Kering’s now-infamous Capital Markets Day—the new
pastime in which C.E.O. Luca de Meo spoke for three hours straight, Bernstein analyst Luca Solca inspired Demna to write a motivational memo to his team, and we ate all our meals standing up, mulling the future of the company. In the aftermath, a host of questions around the chief executive’s long-awaited turnaround plan remain unanswered. Among them: How is de Meo measuring “brand desirability,” a new K.P.I. for label-level executives? Would
the Renault veteran hire more car guys? (Yes, Gucci is now partnering with Formula 1.) Most importantly: Would his overhaul actually work?

Finally, a media podcast about what’s actually happening in the media—not the oversanitized,
legal-and-standards-approved version you read online. Join Dylan Byers, Puck’s veteran media reporter, and Julia Alexander, a longtime media analyst, as they sit down with TV personalities, moguls, pundits, and industry executives for raw, honest, sometimes salacious conversations about the business of media and its biggest egos. New episodes publish every Tuesday and Friday.
