Welcome to The Debrief, a new weekly podcast from The Business of Fashion, where we go beyond the glossy veneer and unpack our most popular BoF Professional stories. Hosted by BoF’s chief correspondent Lauren Sherman, who after covering fashion and beauty for nearly two decades, will be your guide into the mega labels, indie upstarts and unforgettable  personalities shaping the $2.5 trillion global fashion industry.  Each week, Lauren will take you through one BoF Professional story —  in conversation with BoF’s correspondents and industry experts — and get to the heart of why it’s something you need to know.. From the rise of direct-to-consumer disruptors, to the rapid consolidation of the luxury industry, to cultural shifts turning beauty upside down, what people buy — and how they buy it — matters.  The Debrief is launching April 20th, with new episodes released every Wednesday.
