François Picard is pleased to welcome Dana Thomas, Paris-based journalist, specialising in fashion and culture, and author of “Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster”. For decades, allegations of sexual exploitation in the fashion industry, spanning the globe, have resurfaced, often surrounding powerful figures whose deaths have complicated any semblance of accountability. In the wake of Daniel Siad’s sudden death, Thomas offers a scathing indictment of the systemic failures within French law enforcement, the modelling industry, and the highest echelons of power.
