From a gap year in Italy that became a 31-year career, Dimorestudio’s Britt Moran joins Imran Amed during Milan Design Week to discuss what fashion brands get wrong about design, why physical spaces still win over screens, and how a partnership that began after a romantic relationship ended became one of the most influential studios in the world.

In their regular conversation with System Magazine, Imran Amed and Bernstein's Luca Solca cut through the noise on Chanel's frenzy, Gucci's work-in-progress reset and why the industry can no longer plan beyond the next quarter.

Two years before they would work together at Chanel, the house's chief executive officer and its future artistic director spoke at BoF VOICES — separately making the case for craft, people and long-term thinking over speed and scale, a synergistic philosophy that is powering the brand's newfound momentum.

Price hikes, diminished quality, growing inequality and the meaning of luxury itself were under the microscope at the FT’s Business of Luxury Summit this week as the sector struggles to recover from a downturn, writes Imran Amed.
