Yeezy Gap's first physical store, in New York's Times Square, is utilitarian bordering on dystopian, writes Marc Bain. Marc Jacobs-approved Nong Rak has attracted early interest from top retailers for its graphic knits. Bernard Arnault has reorganised his holding company to ensure family control of LVMH. Instagram's pivot to video is only accelerating the fashion industry's shift to TikTok.
