Corporate Lunch GQ

This week, Noah, Rachel, and Sam break down the challenges designers face as they try to manufacture masks, as reported by Rachel. We also consider what might happen when the fashion industry restarts: will brands rethink how much stuff they make, and how they make it? Will we change how we buy things? And finally we dig into Noah's GQ Style story on archival fashion you can wear now.

In the first episode of the WFH era, Will, Noah, Rachel and Sam discuss getting dressed to stay at home, and how to support small brands and businesses during this difficult time. Plus, a 13 Vibes full of the books, tunes, and activities we’ve been relying on for inspiration and distraction.

This week, we compare and contrast two figures who loom large in the Corporate Lunch landscape: the mysterious Zack Bia, and the influencer OG Bryanboy. Read Sam's profile of Bia here, and read Rachel on Bryanboy here.

Will joins us for a classic Corporate Lunch episode, in which we tackle the question: how do we actually get dressed now? We’re talking pants, Fear Of God x Zegna, expensive footwear, and the false tailoring-streetwear binary. We also discuss the significance of Raf Simons’s Prada move and whether Virgil Abloh is actually the Karl Lagerfeld for millennials, and close things out with 13 Vibes. 

On this week's business-critical episode, Noah, Rachel and Sam are joined by writer (and surfer) Molly Young to discuss key takeaways from "Garbage Language," her Vulture essay about why corporations speak the way they do. We also talk about what it's like to profile designers like Donatella Versace and Riccardo Tisci, Sam's new hair oil, and the power of positive moments.

We enter the mind garden of pro skater and Bianca Chandôn don Alex Olson. Noah, Rachel, Sam and Alex discuss skateboarding's relationship to fashion, the virtue of selling out, GOOP, Bianca and Call Me 917, and Alex's radical mindfulness and wellness routine.
