Two things can be true at once ! Something can be so good yet so bad….
Focusing on the good …there is no denying the brilliance and the audacity of Gene and the Pressman Family -Barney’s became an institution that defined the very height of the NY fashion experience for a generation ….. until it wasn’t !

Rodney Hutton liked thisRodney Hutton liked thisMen's sports built performance infrastructure first: - Biometric tracking - Injury analytics - Recovery data Decades of systems designed around the male athlete before anyone asked whether the same tools worked for women. Beauty and fashion went in a different direction. They built: 1. Attention before they built systems 2. Brands before data 3. Desire before distribution Women's sports is building both at the same time. Performance is rising, infrastructure is catching up, and attention is still underpriced. The brands that put those two things together now, before the data is clean, before the market gets crowded, will own something that can't be replicated later.

Rodney Hutton liked thisRodney Hutton liked thisIn 1995 I landed in New York with a tourist visa, no job, and no plan beyond a few weeks of travel. I stayed for 20 years. Most brands I work with are still waiting until conditions are right before committing to women's sports. They want cleaner data, clearer internal alignment, an obvious cultural signal they can point to in a board meeting. I've watched brands spend six months in alignment meetings on whether to sponsor a women's league. By month four, someone else had already signed. The brands with real positioning in this space moved before the proof was clean. Now they have audience equity that nothing in a latecomer's budget can replicate. I didn’t have perfect timing when I moved, but I moved anyway. And sometimes it's exactly what these brands needs to do: Just go for it - before everything is crystal clear. 💯

Rodney Hutton liked thisRodney Hutton liked thisThere ya have it... Once you get into the swing of things, it becomes second nature. When safe work practices are repeated consistently, they begin to feel natural. Pre-task planning, checking your surroundings, maintaining good housekeeping, using the right PPE, and communicating with your crew can become second nature through repetition and discipline. That’s the goal of training and experience—not just to follow safety procedures when someone is watching, but to build habits so strong they become part of how you work. The more we practice doing the right things, the more automatic those actions become when pressure is on. But there’s a caution here too: when a task feels routine, complacency can creep in. “Second nature” should never mean operating on autopilot. It should mean safe habits are ingrained, while awareness stays sharp. Practice builds habits. Good habits build safe outcomes

Rodney Hutton liked thisWe are truly honored to be featured in the The Wall Street Journal. This is just the beginning of our journey - more to come. Watch this space.Rodney Hutton liked thisThis is more than a feature. It marks an important passage. After two years of silence, La Perla returns with vision and purpose. Our conversation with The Wall Street Journal reflects what defines this new chapter: the strength of our Atelier, the value of Italian craftsmanship, and our ambition to reaffirm La Perla as the reference in modern luxury lingerie. This feature tells the story of a brand that chose resilience over compromise, of an Atelier that remained the living heart of La Perla, and of Peter and Kirsten Kern’s commitment to rebuilding its horizon with clarity and conviction. As we prepare our official return with the new collection launching in Fall 2026, this phase is a pivotal milestone, honouring our heritage while confirming the direction of our future. We are grateful to Natasha Khan and The Wall Street Journal for capturing this moment with such depth and sensitivity. #LaPerla #LaPerlaLingerie #LaPerlaAtelier

Rodney Hutton liked thisI always love hearing people’s “first GAP” experience – almost everyone has one. For Victoria Beckham, it was the early ‘90s. Her first encounter left a lasting impression – distinctly American and unlike anything else at the time. Fast forward to today, and it’s all come full circle with the Gap x Victoria Beckham collab. Drawing inspiration from vintage GAP, the collection reinterprets iconic 80’s and 90’s silhouettes through Victoria’s distinctive lens. Fresh yet familiar, elevating the everyday, and quintessentially GAP. And it doesn’t end here; there’s even more to come from these two originals later this year!
