Layoffs at Sports Illustrated Under New Owner (NPR)
On Thursday, “about half” of Sports Illustrated‘s newsroom was laid off in the wake of its new digital publisher, TheMaven, taking over. Now, SI staff members are launching a petition to its parent company, Authentic Brands Group, asking it not to hand over editorial control. “TheMaven wants to replace top journalists in the industry with a network of Maven freelancers and bloggers, while reducing or eliminating departments that have ensured that the stories we publish and produce meet the highest standards,” says the petition. “These plans significantly undermine our journalistic integrity, damage the reputation of this long-standing brand and negatively [affect] the economic stability of the publication.”
SI was sold to Authentic Brands in May. At the time, its previous owner, Meredith, had a deal to continue producing the print magazine and run the website, an arrangement that was supposed to last at least two years. But in June, Authentic Brands struck a deal with Maven, giving it editorial ownership. “As the new licensor of… Sports Illustrated, Maven made the Sports Illustrated personnel decisions that Meredith communicated to the SI employees today,” Meredith said in a statement. “Going forward, the remaining SI employees will work at the direction and at the pleasure of Maven.”

Fashion Brands Team Up to Fight Counterfeits on Amazon (Fast Company)
Despite Amazon’s best efforts, brands are concerned that it is still too easy to sell counterfeit items through the site. To combat this, The American Apparel & Footwear Association is recommending that Amazon’s Canadian, German, French, Indian, and U.K. websites be added to the U.S. government’s annual “Notorious Markets” list. This could potentially force Amazon to “take stricter measures to curb counterfeiting” through the use of trade sanctions or “other legal means.” Amazon says it has worked hard to block over three billion “suspected bad listings.” In 2018, it invested over $400 million to protect customers from “fraud and abuse in our stores.”

Jeremy Scott Collaborates With London Fog
Jeremy Scott has put a streetwear spin on London Fog’s classic trench coat for Fall 2019. “I wanted to interject a dynamic and graphic element contrasting with the beautiful, classic iconography of the trench this season and thought about the commuters riding the subway to work and the graffiti on the trains,” says Scott. “I brought these two worlds together literally with NYC and London tagged on the trench in bold colors in an energetic and graphic rendition.” The London Fog x Jeremy Scott Fall 2019 trench coat retails for $298 and is now available online now.
