On today’s Radio Cherry Bombe, it’s Laura Lendrum, CEO of Printemps America. The iconic Parisian department store now has a sister location on Wall Street in New York’s Financial District that blends fashion, food, and French luxury under one roof. ⁠ ⁠ Laura joins host kerrybombe to discuss why printempsnewyork is distinctly NOT a department store, and how culinary, as led by Chef Gregory Gourdet (gg30000), plays a big role in the concept. (Gregory is overseeing five F&B outlets, including the fine-dining spot maisonpasserellenyc, which is set to open next week.)⁠ ⁠ Laura and Kerry also dive into Laura’s time as president of ralphlauren and the success of ralphscoffee and The Polo Bar restaurant, and what the worlds of fashion and hospitality can learn from each other. ⁠ ⁠ Listen on apple, spotify, youtube, or wherever you get your podcasts!
