Bottega Veneta Appoints Romain Spitzer as CEO

Supermodel Paulina Porizkova had a feeling comedy writer Jeff Greenstein was just her type before their very first date. The pair originally connected on a dating app in January 2023. “Already this story is ridiculous: why would a stunning former supermodel swipe right on a gawky, bald comedy writer with a disastrous dating profile?” Jeff jokes. “Well, it turns out that as bad as my profile was, I’d chosen a great song for its soundtrack: ‘Modern World’ by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.” Paulina shared she was a fan, and the two began texting and discovering more common interests. “Soon we’d progressed from texting to FaceTime, from cups of tea to shots of tequila, and the conversations got longer and longer. Until finally—clearly exasperated I wasn’t making a move—Paulina texted, ‘On paper, you’re kind of my perfect man. So when are you coming to New York?’”
