WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 2021 Kenzo's Felipe Oliveira Baptista is betting "the next generation of kids is going to party like there's no tomorrow" when the pandemic recedes. Photographer Nadine Ijewere is at the forefront of fashion's racial reckoning. H&M is facing calls for a boycott from Chinese consumers after banning Xinjiang cotton. SMCP's profit fell less than feared in 2020, buoyed by online sales and cost-cutting. Plus, BoF is seeking applicants for a fellowship to empower Black journalists.
