Valentino's new CEO, Guess's acquisition, TJ Maxx's earnings — plus, a chat with Off Season's Vicky Picca

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we take a look at Ricardo Bellini’s appointment as the new CEO of Valentino and what that means for the future of the brand. We also discuss the acquisition of Guess by Authentic Brands Group and the good earnings results from TJ Maxx, and what the latter means for discount retail. Later in the episode (21:30), we have a dispatch from our Sports Opportunity digital event in which our editor-in-chief, Jill Manoff, spoke with Vicky Picca, the president of the sports fashion brand Off Season. Off Season is the brainchild of fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk and Emma Grede of Skims fame. Picca has a deep sports background, working as svp of business affairs at Fanatics before joining Off Season in April. Below are a few highlights from the conversation, lightly edited for length and clarity. It’s back to school season!
