Episode 7: Mossimo




Goodfellows show

Summary: <p>This week’s episode of Goodfellows is ripped straight from the headlines! The topic of discussion this time around is clothing brand Mossimo, designer Mossimo Giannulli’s beachwear-turned-Target line of fashion. With Giannulli in the headlines thanks to the college admission scandal he was involved with (ironically, he himself dropped out of USC) we figured, if not now, when?!</p> <p>After all, what better time to trace the man’s legacy from creating a business in his garage to going public and ultimately becoming a Target staple? That being said, it’s important to note that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mossimo-giannullii-accused-college-admissions-scandal-2019-3">Target has publicly distanced themselves from the designer in the wake of the news.</a></p> <p>We also take a look at the Weekly Ad of March 24 – 30, which has got some good Room Essentials deals and… even cheaper Easter candy?!</p> <p>Here are some links to articles we mention in the show:</p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-mar-29-mn-13836-story.html">With Losses Mounting, Mossimo Turns to Target</a> (Leslie Earnest, <em>Los Angeles Times</em>, March 29, 2000)</li> <li> <a href="https://thehundreds.com/blogs/content/how-mossimo-went-from-being-head-to-head-with-stussy-to-targets-in-house-brand">How Mossimo Went from Being Head-to-Head with Stussy to Target’s In-House Brand</a> (By Alec Banks, <em>The Hundreds</em>, July 20, 2015)</li> </ul> <p>Find Goodfellows on social media:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/targetpodcast">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/targetpodcast/">Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/targetpodcast/">Facebook</a></li> </ul> <p>Subscribe to Goodfellows on:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/goodfellows/id1450011050?mt=2">Apple Podcasts</a></li> <li><a href="https://play.google.com/music/m/If5mqouig5kdkjd63hogcvtflha?t=Goodfellows">Google Play</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/goodfellows">Stitcher</a></li> <li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0Gxt8DGX9rXlHL9QoqV8mo?si=24nQ5l6HQG-NeYl9yxXKgg">Spotify</a></li> <li><a href="https://goodfellowspodcast.com/feed/podcast/goodfellows">RSS</a></li> </ul>
