The next big fashion opportunity is...
+Milan's growing acceptance of members clubs is indicative of what will happen in other EU cities that have resisted them.
Hi everyone, happy NYFW. For those of you in town and wanting to eat somewhere worth eating, skip the NYC reservation hunger wars and book via Dorsia instead. I just secured a primetime res at Torrisi’s through Dorsia, and the best part of this is that I didn’t have to ask anyone for favors (which we all lowkey dread). New hotspot The Corner Store is now on Dorsia, and if you’re headed to Courchevel this season, you can book La Ferme Saint Amour. Skip the waitlist and download the app here.
In today’s newsletter: Jacquemus, resale fashion advancements, Gucci and Sabato De Sarno, Nanushka at Happier Grocery, Equinox, Rick Caruso, Milan’s newest “members club”, Uber Alps, Victoria Beckham’s new retail strategy

THE STANZA’S DEAL SHEET
L’Oreal is investing in Jacquemus’ beauty line, officially tabling a potential partnership with Puig. A few months ago, it was reported that Jacquemus had hired Rothschild to find a minority investor. According to this Vogue Business article, Jacquemus brought in €270M in revenue in 2023, up from €200M in 2022. His most recent collection shown during Paris Mens’ fashion had several looks that weren’t even discreetly “inspired by” Pieter Mulier at Alaia or Matthieu Blazy at Bottega. The thing about Jacquemus is that he’s an incredible world builder, he’s handsome, and well loved by all the right people. Is that what it takes to succeed as an independent fashion entrepreneur?
