WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2022 André Leon Talley, the pioneering fashion journalist who worked at American Vogue for decades, has died at 73. Retailers are changing the rules for how employees interact with customers amid a wave of verbally abusive and even violent interactions in stores. Bianca Saunders is making her Paris fashion week debut, part of a plan aimed to take her business to the next level. GQ Style's former deputy editor Elgar Johnson is launching a new magazine tapping into fashion and sport. Prada's sales surged 41 percent last year to €3.36 billion ($3.83 billion), surpassing pre-pandemic levels. China's new data privacy law restricts brands' ability to provide personalised marketing to customers and increases operational complexity.
