Dezeen Weekly newsletter: London Marathon shoes, Met Gala, and Notre-Dame controversy
By
Dezeen staff
The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
This article appears to be a newsletter/podcast promotion for Dezeen Weekly, teasing several stories: the special shoes worn by record-breaking runners at the London Marathon (Adidas super-shoes), whether the Met Gala is about design or celebrity/money, and controversy over a new addition to a 930-year-old French cathedral. The content is fragmented and primarily serves as a promotional blurb rather than a full article.
