高度本地化的女性叙事，能否与「意大利血统」相融？ 作者 | 贺哲馨 编辑 | 乔芊 很多听众第一次点开《岩中花述》时，并不知道它与任何品牌有关。节目往往从一个极为具体的生活 细节开始：一次职业选择的迟疑，一段关系的瓦解，或者身体在中年阶段发出的信号。鲁豫的提问节 奏缓慢，很少追问结果，而是停留在过程本身。正是在这样的叙述中，《岩中花述》逐渐积累起稳定 的听众群体。 直到听众数量不断扩大，一些人才在片头的固定口播中意识到，这档播客背后站着一个反复出现的品 牌名称——GIADA。 从表面看，GIADA就像是另一个小众设计师品牌而已——它们来自法国或意大利、设计师名声在外， 精工细作且足够昂贵（一件成衣的均价在1-4万余元），可以与香奈儿、爱马仕和LVMH帝国的子品 牌们在比邻而居。但实际上，GIADA在中国之外几乎没有门店，它真正的所有者是一位来自深圳的奢 侈品大亨。 2002 年，赵一铮在深圳成立广东深圳宏钰高级时装股份有限公司，从事奢侈品代理业务。2005 年，宏钰通过投资方式进入 GIADA，并将品牌引入中国。此后，GIADA 在中国的市场运营、渠道管 理与品牌推广，均由宏钰主导。 嘉宾构成开始改变。知名度 ...
