WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 2021 Burberry's CEO is departing mid-way through an ambitious turnaround. Marc Jacobs held his first runway show since February 2020 in New York, as his brand's recovery gains momentum. Fashion is leaning into a new wave of feminist marketing, but behind the scenes the industry is still falling short on gender equality. Jeweller Shaun Leane sees a decade of upgrades for a sector in need of a shake-up. Download BoF and McKinsey's new State of Fashion Watches & Jewellery report to learn more. In a departure from the usual Olympic brand sponsorships, Kim Kardashian's Skims will provide undergarments for the US team.
