WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 2021 Dear BoF Community, The Daily Digest has a new look. Our daily briefing, which made its debut back in 2008, is still the definitive must-read for anyone who works in fashion, full of the in-depth analysis and advice for which BoF is known. Now, we've added News Briefs covering important industry news, plus new episodes of The BoF Podcast and invitations to our BoF LIVE events. We hope you like it. Imran Amed, Editor-in-Chief —— Alber Elbaz spoke to Tim Blanks about new label AZ Factory, which debuted yesterday at Paris Couture Week, but is far from couture. LVMH delivered mixed results in Q4: fashion and leather goods sales accelerated, while beauty and multi-brand retail continued to suffer. Rick Owens speaks about creativity in dark times and drawing inspiration from imperfection in the latest episode of The BoF Podcast. Plus, on Thursday, we will dissect our latest Case Study on Farfetch's bid to dominate global luxury e-commerce on BoF LIVE. Sign up.
