If this is indeed one of Chiuri’s last collections, as rumors suggest, she’s leaving on a high. Jisoo chaos: when a runway show turns into a frenzy Absolute mayhem erupted when Jisoo arrived.

The foundational model maker is investing in building its own data center in France, and Mensch noted that it’s “moving slightly down the stack so we can serve data centers.”…
