StyleZeitgeist Podcast: Breaking News with Astrid Wendlandt of Miss Tweed

On this episode we speak with Astrid Wendlandt, the founder of the fashion news website Miss Tweed. This year Miss Tweed came to prominence as the first to break many fashion appointment news, and has made plenty of powerful enemies, such as Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH, and Johann Rupert, the owner of Richemont. But Wendlandt is no rumor-monger; she is a veteran journalist who for decades has worked at prestigious publications like Reuters and the Financial Times, where she honed her investigative reporting skills. We talk about the arc of her career, including her first job at the Moscow Times in Russia’s wild ’90s, her eventual pivot to reporting on luxury fashion, the founding of Miss Tweed, her work methods, and the challenges she faces as a fashion reporter, including her being banned by Arnault and Rupert from getting information on their companies. We discuss Arnault and LVMH, the hot air balloon of Jacquemus, and much more.
