ITER's Pietro Barabaschi ... PlanetLabs' Will Marshall ... FIFA president Gianni Infantino ... Chanel's Leena Nair ... Axel Springer's Mathias Döpfner ... Michael Govan ... Mellody Hobson ... JoeBen Bivert ... Jeff Koons ... Jim Morrison (the ski mountaineer) ... James Cameron ... Julia Roberts ... Jason Sudeikis ... Lionel Richie ... Chris Rock ... David Brooks ... Brené Brown ... Nancy Silverton ... Nate Bargatze ... Trevor Noah ... TBPN's John Coogan & Jordi Hays ... and many more ...

LVMH's Q1 numbers are in—and while Louis Vuitton held up, the details tell a more complicated story: a panned womenswear collection, Pharrell struggling to connect, a surging secondhand market.
