What to expect from Gabriela Hearst’s Chloé
Ahead of her Chloé debut, Gabriela Hearst sat down with Business of Fashion‘s Tim Blanks to discuss her new role and her creative vision for the French fashion house. The designer spoke about ushering in a new age of thoughtfulness for the brand. “I strive to have something timeless, like the Edith bag that lasts forever, and I’ll still love it decades later, or something that I’m still wearing, and it still fits,” Hearst said. “That’s what I want to have. I’m not a trend designer, I would fail miserably at that task, but I can make things that I feel women would desire for the rest of their lives.” {Business of Fashion}

Fashion people have mixed feelings about Clubhouse
For Paper, Mario Abad takes a closer look at Clubhouse, the invite-only app that has quickly become a center for freewheeling fashion debates over everything from controversial covers to the industry’s power imbalances. While fans of the app appreciate the diverse perspectives that come with the platform’s voice-only format, issues can arise with fact-checking and credibility: lolo Edwards, founder of High Fashion Talk, likened the discourse on Clubhouse to “gossip and tea draped in industry robes,” when interviewed for the piece. {Paper}
