Puck's retail correspondent, Sarah Shapiro, joins Lauren to discuss the latest tariff-war news, the C.E.O. change-up at D.T.C. luggage label Away, and the prospect of a Barneys New York drama series created by the people behind ‘The OC’ and ‘Gossip Girl.’ They also explore, at length, the appeal of two very different, but very popular, brands worn by plenty of moms on the private school drop-off circuit: Donni and The Row.DONNI.

Lauren Sherman, a Puck correspondent, pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes world of style and commerce in Fashion People. This isn't about seasonal trends you can see on the runway; it's about the seismic shifts and whispered conversations that actually shape the industry. Each episode features a rotating cast of insiders, offering unfiltered perspective on the real forces at play. They dig into the surprising mechanics behind creative director musical chairs, unpack the billion-dollar mergers and acquisitions that redraw the corporate map, and examine why some direct-to-consumer darlings stumble. You'll get the inside take on magazine upheavals and the unvarnished truths that never make it into a polished press release. This audio experience extends the work of Lauren's private Puck newsletter, Line Sheet, creating a space for nuanced discussion that lives between the lines of fashion, beauty, and the business that connects them. Tune in for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the personalities, power plays, and pivotal moments defining a multi-trillion-dollar global industry. This podcast, from Audacy and Puck, feels like eavesdropping on the most informed conversation in the room.
