It just makes me think, [the V.C.s] are bad at their job. It’s part of why Barbie is considered such an extreme thing, or a Taylor Swift concert. Men, and I mean largely white, cis men, think male culture is just culture. God forbid that they have to think about something that is not squarely targeted at them. That they can’t possibly try a...

Substack is under attack again. The crusade is led by a site contributor, Jonathan Katz, whose style might be characterized as embittered-conventional
“In the decade before 2022,” the Oaktree authors lead off, “many sponsor- backed companies financed leveraged buyouts by borrowing heavily in the broadly syndicated loan and private cred- it markets—and the majority of this debt had floating rates.” Naturally, the 500 basis-point jump in reference rates spells higher borrowing costs for the...

Now, it’s Khaite’s turn. The Cate Holstein -designed label is now under the watch of Stripes, one of the few investment firms that regularly takes bets on fashion. Backstage at that show, I asked Holstein how the money has empowered her: I expected her to mention supply chain upgrades or more freedom with show budgets. (The Park Avenue Armory... See more
