The Comeback Era is here: GAP, Coach, and Marc Jacobs Beauty all collapsed — and now they're some of the hottest brands in fashion and beauty. In this episode, we break down exactly how each one pulled off its comeback.
What we cover:
▸ GAP's fall from a $13B+ empire, the infamous 2010 logo disaster, and how Richard Dixon + Zac Posen made GAP culturally relevant again
▸ Coach's outlet store death spiral, the painful decision to shrink the brand, and how the Tabby bag won over Gen Z
▸ Marc Jacobs Beauty's quiet 2021 shutdown and its sold-out 2026 relaunch with Coty
We dig into the numbers, the creative strategy, and the cultural timing behind all three — plus which comeback we believe in long-term.
