Jenna Lyons Gets a New Job (WWD)

Her new job, however, is all digital. Although she is not designing her own collection, Lyons has formed a partnership with Turner Entertainment to build an omnichannel lifestyle brand, marrying content and commerce in a weekly unscripted lifestyle series and a daily curated social and direct-to-consumer platform launching in 2019.

Last week, Cartier filed a suit against Saks Fifth Avenue over the store’s plan to move Cartier’s shop from it’s current ground-floor location into the basement, as part of a $250 million store-wide renovation. Now, Saks Fifth Avenue is countersuing for $55 million. The department store claims it offered Cartier a “prime location” in the Vault and “other locations on the main floor,” but that “for reasons that remain a mystery, Cartier declined” and “for reasons that are even more difficult to fathom,” it has refused to vacate the store.
