Condé Nast to lay off 5% of employees amid cost-cutting efforts
Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch announced in a memo to the company on Wednesday that the publishing giant would lay off 5% of its more than 6,000 employees in an effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency. More than 300 employees are expected to be laid off as Lynch wrote that the company is “prioritizing cost reductions.” In his company-wide memo, Lynch wrote, “There is no easy way to share this news and our focus will be on making this transition as easy as possible for our dedicated colleagues with enhanced severance packages and career service offerings.” Condé Nast includes titles such as Vogue, Glamour, GQ, New Yorker and Vanity Fair. {Variety

GQ fashion writer Samuel Hine reflects on the changing tides for sample sales, shares his experience going to an invite-only Hermès 70% off sample sale and explores what the future of these sales may look like. {GQ
