Sample Size Podcast

Hi friends! Life has been crazy for us lately but Jadan is here for a quick solo episode about some recent fashion mess. Every few days, a new Creative Director is being fired or "exiting the brand" and we're very curious about why. So far we've seen Lanvin, Rochas, Bally, and now Ann Demeulemeester push their CD out the door and I think we should talk about it before the next announcement comes.
