After a staggering $90 billion loss on the Metaverse, Mark Zuckerberg is pivoting. But this time, he’s not building a virtual world—he’s buying into a physical one. We’re breaking down the strategic brilliance (and desperation) behind Meta’s rumored stake in EssilorLuxottica and why the tech giant is using Prada as a trojan horse to get smart glasses onto your face. From the failure of Google Glass to the "aesthetic hardware" revolution, we discuss why tech is finally waving a white flag to the fashion industry.


Note- somewhere in this episode I mentioned that Dior is licensed to EssilorLuxottica. I misspoke and was thinking of Chanel!


(P.S.- This is our last episode of the season! We are going on hiatus while we work on the next batch of stories. Thanks for your listenership!)
