On this week's pod, Clayton and I offer our insight in to this week's big news: LVMH's "Luxury Ventures" arm has made a minority investment in Aimé Leon Dore.  We give our initial reactions, then dive deep on what this could mean for the brand in the near and long term.  After a lengthy discussion, we turn our attention to another fashion world development: Rhuigi Villaseñor of Rhude has been named Creative Director at Bally.  On the surface, this seems like a head-scratching move for one of streetwear's biggest names so we do our best to figure out why it actually might make a lot of sense before offering up some other names in the space that we expect to be up for similar or even bigger appointments in 2022 and beyond.

After some technical difficulties and a multitude of scheduling conflicts, Phil and I were finally able to bang out two sessions for this extra-long 'sode.  We had a great time and found ourselves meandering throughout, but the main topics were as follows:



1) Brad Pitt is crushing custom looks (shouts to Haans!) on the press tour for Bullet Train including an instantly-infamous brown linen skirt followed up by a tailored rig anchored with Gucci Gazelles.

2) Apparently, #Sandlercore was a dominant TikTok trend with GenZ girls last summer, but this summer, it's resurgence has just made us feel better about looking like a slob, like, most of the time.

3) Everybody's talking about it, so of course, we had to add our two cents.  Brendon Babenzian's J.Crew is finally here.

On today's podcast, I give it a solo effort, ruminating on why certain brands show runway collections that don't fully get produced before diving in to some listener questions regarding shorts and the propensity to collect specific garments or accessories for archival reasons.

From Washed Media and the Sunday Scaries podcast, Will DeFries joins me on the episode for a great conversation.  We cover the following main topics, plus a whole lot more:

- Aimé Leon Dore just opened a gorgeous new store in London.  We talk about the shop's aesthetic and then revisit our experiences in ALD's other locations.

- Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker get married.  When you get married in your 40s, you're allowed to have a themed wedding.  What would our themes be?

- Tom Sachs x NikeCraft "General Purpose Shoe" releases next week.  How do we feel about the marketing?  What about the fact that the shoe is being made to seem democratic but will inevitably resale for thousands?
