What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe New York Times reports GLP-1 users are finding that shopping for new clothes is a whole second journey, and a David's Bridal CEO says shoppers at its roughly two hundred stores now try on twice as many dresses.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot take. Up to ten styles per shopper means the store isn't selling dresses anymore, it's selling the try-on, and the dress is the receipt.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. That's the most honest retail model I've heard, and I like a free sample.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy take.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPwC's Ali Furman says retailers are evaluating their sizes, dressing rooms and styling services, which in any government would be called a restructuring of the fitting room.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNOT. Gloria, that's just a memo with a mirror.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMemo with a mirror is rude. Accurate, though.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTen styles is a negotiation, Chip.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy hottest take: the fitting room should charge admission. Ten dresses, a veil, and a mirror.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd pay for the veil alone, and I'm not even getting married.
