What Chinese Consumers Are Buying Right Now

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 2021 Alexi McCammond will not be Teen Vogue's next top editor, following backlash to prior racist tweets. Chinese shoppers are gravitating towards comfortable clothes, jewellery, shoes, one-of-a-kind luxury items and new indie brands. Fashion brands' experiments in podcasting have delivered mixed results. The reign of Les Wexner at L Brands officially comes to a close as he announces he'll leave the company's board. Nike missed third-quarter estimates thanks to a slowdown in physical retail sales.
