  170: What's happening with Parisian style? About the Sézane rebrand, retail sameness and more with Alice Cavanagh

  Sep 24, 202644 minS10

  In August, the cult-popular Parisian brand Sézane announced an aesthetic rebrand, a new direction. The reaction among consumers and critics was fast and fierce, and not overwhelmingly positive. I wondered what it signaled for the future of retail and commercial fashion, especially given my previous work reporting on the brand, so I brought back my former co-host, the fashion journalist Alice Cavanagh , to break things down. We also explore the shift away from archetypal Parisian style toward pan-European minimalism, the rise of vintage, and why shopping feels more uninspiring than ever in a world flooded with "sameness". Mentioned in this episode: Alice Cavanagh Lindsey's Sézane piece in the NYT The New Paris book Lindsey & Alice interviews Glenn Martens Sézane controversy Lauren Sherman on the rebrand in Line Sheet The vintage boom Robin Givhan on Galliano at the Met LVMH finalists Audio production & editing: Matthew Jordan ⁠Music by Little Glass Men⁠

  169: Has Coffee in Paris Gone Too Far? A chat with Mihaela Iordache

  Sep 10, 202650 minS10

  Coffee shops in Paris are exploding. In fact, a new one opens in Paris every 3 days, according to a recent study. That's a far cry from 20 years ago, when one cafe roasted and served specialty coffee: Le Caféothèque (which still exists!). What’s going on? Why has it accelerated, and can they all be considered specialty? Coffee roaster Mihaela Iordache , formerly of Belleville Brûlerie, joins me to analyze the state of things, what is and ISN'T truly specialty, and which places she keeps returning to.

  Jul 16, 202644 minS10

  10 years is almost an eternity in the restaurant world, and it’s a milestone that Pearl Lee reached with her business, The Hood. The Singaporean has run a Southeast Asian, in addition to a bánh mì sandwich and donut shop called Nonette across the street. I recently traveled with her through Singapore, a truly fascinating multiethnic and cultural melting pot, and I finally got to see firsthand how that plays out in its food. She joins me to talk about going from the corporate world to food, the hurdles she’s overcome in fulfilling her vision for the cafe, and educating diners about Southeast Asian flavors, particularly in Singapore, and why NOW Parisian diners are really latching on.
