Today on the pod, Lauren is joined by her good buds, Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo, co-founders of 831 Stories (which could be described as the Blumhouse of the romance genre). Claire and Erica are serial entrepreneurs (you may have shopped their previous business, Of a Kind) and experts in using stories to drive sales of actual products. They discuss the dos and don’ts of content and commerce, how to make good merch, podcasting, the Foster sisters, and plenty more.

2 Become 1... Dior!
Today, Lauren and Icon America editor-in-chief Gro Curtis discuss Jonathan Anderson’s appointment at Dior, the first designer in charge of both menswear and womenswear for the brand. It’s a giant deal that has major implications for the LVMH-couture house, but also the LVMH group, and the luxury industry at large. Lauren is pumped. In other news, Gro and Lauren share their hopes and dreams for Michael Rider’s Celine debut in July. (Once again, Lauren is inordinately excited.) Also, Lauren poses the question: Have we reached peak Kardashian? Gro has an answer.
