The New LuxExperience Platform

Last week the Munich-based, German e-tailer Mytheresa said that about 700 employees might be impacted as the profitable e-tailer integrates Yoox-Net-a-Porter [YNAP] into the new company LuxExperience.

The acquisition positions the new luxury brands internet platform to become the largest player in luxury e-commerce. Swiss luxury conglomerate Richemont, YNAP’s previous owner, is footing the bill by recapitalising YNAP with €555 million in exchange for a 33 percent stake in Mytheresa, and an additional €100 million six-year revolving credit facility.

KenGi heads for Jackson Hole, Wyoming in the fashion story styled by Tabitha Simmons at Diamond Cross Ranch [IG]. Photographer Lachlan Bailey [IG] shoots his first American Vogue cover story at Diamond Cross Ranch.

Chloe Malle, named the new Head of Editorial Content at Vogue US, is on the interview. The dialogue is heavier than spun sugar on a stick at the state fair — almost folksy — but definitely apolitical, no comentary about the world writ large. Just two longtime, down-home friends having a scat style, verbal bubblebath. And Chloe Malle writes it all down in short, crisp sentences.

Vogue Czech Honors Freyja

The Nordic goddess Freyja was on my mind this spring, when I wrote about the ancient history of women in Scotland, connected to a post about the Dior Cruise 2025 collection ‘Highland Fling’ featuring Debra Shaw.

The Nordic mythology around Freyja is just one more example of belief systems in our pre-monotheism world. While we’re not ‘going there’ today, what is called Ancestral Odinism is being co-opted by right-wingers seeking an alternative to Christian nationalism.

Lily James Plays Tinder/Bumble Girl Boss in 'Swiped'

Lily James Plays Tinder/Bumble Girl Boss in 'Swiped'

Lily James Plays Tinder/Bumble Girl Boss in 'Swiped'

Actor Lily James has three films out this year [‘Finally Dawn’, ‘Relay’ and ‘Swiped’] and a new production company called Parodos Productions, which James co-founded with Gala Gordon. Both women are in their mid-thirties and Gordon is also a British actor.

They launched Parodos Productions to champion fresh voices and female-led stories like the film ‘Swiped’. Parodos has joined 20th Century Studios and Ethea Entertainment as co-producer of the film inspired by the story of Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder and former CEO of online dating platform Bumble. James plays the lead role and Gordon is executive producer on the film.

Bumble founder Wolfe Herd couldn’t contribute in any way to ‘Swiped’ because she’s governed by a NDA. “Part of why I wanted to make this movie is to explore how NDAs are weaponized against women,” James told Bloomberg/Businessweek.

“In a way this film becomes a form of reclamation not just for Whitney but for women who have been told to keep quiet,” James says.
