WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2022 Independently-owned suit makers are driving a bespoke revival, serving a new kind of shopper who wants custom everything. Esquire editor Michael Sebastian grapples with how to make the Hearst-owned men's title relevant in a transformed market. The author W. David Marx explains how the internet has disrupted how we adopt trends and signal status, and not for the better. At its first West Coast show, Ralph Lauren showed a collection reflective of the brand's signatures as it prepares to expand in the US. Sneaker marketplace Goat is acquiring streetwear-resale site Grailed in a bid to expand its apparel business.
