WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 2021 Google Shopping is changing how consumers shop for fashion online, and fast becoming a key acquisition tool for brands. Valentino's Pierpaolo Piccioli has collaborated with Craig Green to reanimate the brand's emblematic Rockstud with a sneaker. Armani has denied any interest in a Ferrari tie-up, but analysts do not rule out a deal with the Italian carmaker's owner Exor. The New York Times has tapped Stella Bugbee, the former top editor of New York Magazine's The Cut, to lead its Styles section. Bolstered by store reopenings, Zara parent Inditex posted better than expected first quarter results.
