Lauren's guest today is Robin Givhan, longtime fashion and cultural critic and author of Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh. They chat about the late designer's upbringing, his anti-perfectionism approach to creation, and the imprint he made on Louis Vuitton. They also get into the changing definition of luxury, and Abloh's role in that transformation. Plus, Lauren shares a dispatch from Paris, where she co-hosted a Puck private dinner at Le Petit Chaise with ShopMy earlier in the week. By Thursday, though, everyone was obsessing over this Anna Wintour-stepping-down-from-American Vogue news, which Lauren addresses in relative depth.
