Pharrell Williams is modeling handbags, LeBron James’ 14s are getting some extra fanfare, and Neiman Marcus said “wait, nevermind” about its IPO plans. A boot company has major regrets about a design flaw, and big-name companies are skimping on new handbag stock. What gives? And Kaarin gives an amazing review of the Prada men’s show — but it’s not about the fashion. Come hang out!
