Gen Z isn't wearing kitten heels to work.
"Nowadays we can even get away with a tee shirt to work, as long as it has the company logo on it."
Good afternoon, everyone. I wonder if anyone goes swimming under the stars (or drone shows) at Cannes Lions. After sneaking through the gardens of Hotel du Cap last night in pursuit of a martini, I think anything is possible.
For our next Guest Lecture, we’re talking to Recho Omondi, host of fashion podcast The Cutting Room Floor. Paid readers can ask her about anything in the Substack chat.

Live-embroidery seems to be a popular party trick at Cannes Lions this year. At Hearst House, guests could get socks and silk scarves customized with their initials. Vox threw a media mixer where, in one corner, a sandal maker hammered leather sandals for guests, and, in another corner, an embroiderer customized towels. When I met a person who worked at Vox, I asked if their future was with Penske or Murdoch. After downing a glass of wine with ice, and admiring the pastis-colored eyeliner on Vox’s heads of comms, Lauren Starke, I walked back to my apartment and ran into Ben Smith, who said Max Tani was working on a big scoop.
