Lauren Sherman will illuminate what everyone in fashion is talking about privately, cover the brands and people driving the industry forward—from publicly traded companies and big-box retailers to luxury’s crown jewels and little-known decision makers—and investigate the media-investor-industrial complex around it all. Expect the scoop behind the scoop: Will LVMH ever actually acquire Richemont? Which Arnault heir is best positioned to succeed the richest man in the world? And what does “pay to play” on the red carpet really mean?

The thing about fashion is, the minute you think something is disgusting and passé is the minute it is becoming extremely cool again. They key is to not worry about any of it and just wear what you like deep in your soul. If you can do that, you can have style.

As someone who was 12 when Clueless came out, I have to tell you that they were at least a year behind on trends. I wore a Clueless outfit on the first day of school in 7th grade, almost a year before it was released. It wasn't until years later that it became a fashion thing.
