    You can add these to the complete closure list:
    BLDWN
    Best Made
    Lord & Taylor (I'm hearing they're done but haven't announced it officially)

    Also, Nordstrom just announced yesterday they're closing 16 "full-line" stores.
    Also, Bergdorf Goodman is a part of Neiman's.

      Grailed staff getting laid-off? That is some news.

          I'm honestly surprised that no one's really covering this to this extent - or maybe not since fashion always wants to keep up the image.

          Significantly of note to me here, is how the resale businesses don't seem to be fairing any better than retail - taking a look at StockX, TheRealReal, and Grailed facing significant staff layoffs.

            Why do you think they should be? At a time the only occasion for fashion is partying at Cali/FL beaches in bikini or naked.

            But speaking of which, this is why I'm kinda beginning to see Trump's point of choosing reopening over human lives, although I'm by no means anti-humanitarian and by and large have a hard time appreciating the grestest president in history.
