ALSO IN THE HEADLINES

Bad news: Women's job losses doubled between January and June this year compared to the same time frame last year, according to the National Women's Law Center. That's the story underneath today's jobs report, which found that the economy gained a smaller-than-expected 57,000 jobs in June. 

Inside Karlie Kloss's plan for legacy media. The supermodel (who is married to Thrive Capital's Josh Kushner) has been buying up legacy titles like I-D and Life. With Bedford Media, "I feel like I’m the person running into a burning building,” she told Bloomberg in a video interview. And of her relationship with her in-laws, she says: "I think it’s possible to have relationships with people who you politically don’t align with." 

What happened to that Skims IPO? Puck reports that Kim Kardashian's brand has a bit of work to do to earn its $5 billion valuation. And the resurrection of Victoria's Secret places some pressure on the Skims business. 

Life post-Beautycounter. Gregg Renfrew already has the new-ish brand Counter, which she launched following the demise of her original Beautycounter. Yesterday she announced the launch of Beecee, a beauty brand geared toward Gen Z that is tapping students on college campuses. 

What Ashton Kutcher's up to next... The actor-turned-tech mogul is launching a new VC firm, this time with ex-NFX partner Morgan Beller. It will invest for a "post-AGI world." Before she was at NFX, Beller cofounded Meta's crypto effort Libra.

PARTING WORDS
