On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week.

This week, Zofia is reporting from Abu Dhabi, where Shoptalk Luxe is bringing together luxury brands from around the world. In between reporting stories from the event, she stopped by the Glossy Podcast to share some of the business themes and trends she's hearing from the luxury brands in attendance.

A common theme this year: the changing importance of department stores in the luxury fashion business and the way brand leaders are thinking about and implementing AI in their businesses.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week.

This week, we're taking a look at the 2016 trend, as social media floods with people looking back at the trends and aesthetics that dominated popular culture 10 years ago.

To get a better look at where fashion was in 2016 and why people are talking about it now, Jill spoke with stylist Micaela Erlanger. Erlanger was one of the top stylists of 2016 and was responsible for many iconic looks of the day. She's still styling A-list talent today, including Meryl Streep for the upcoming press tour for "The Devil Wears Prada 2."

This week, we're talking about the bankruptcy filing of Saks Global, something that many had predicted would happen over the last few weeks as the company's debt load continued to grow. Saks reportedly owes hundreds of millions of dollars to its various vendors, including bigger brands like Chanel and Kering.

The bankruptcy also drew the ire of Amazon, which had invested hundreds of millions into Saks' acquisition of Neiman Marcus two years ago, the value of which Amazon now says is worthless.

We discussed the ripple effects that Saks's bankruptcy will have on the company, on the brands that work with it and on luxury shopping, in general.

On the Glossy Podcast, hosts senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi, international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week.

This week, Danny and Jill are joined by Mitchell Parton, a reporter at Glossy's sister publication, Modern Retail, to discuss the state of the American shopping mall. Holiday retail data showed that mall foot traffic was up this past holiday season, and supporting data suggests that the mall is more resilient than ever.

But that doesn't mean malls are the same as they were in years past. We dig into the new class of flourishing mall brands and the ones that aren't doing so well, along with why the former is succeeding. We also talk about the surprising affection for malls among Gen Z customers.

On this week's episode, our first of the year, we're taking a look forward at the biggest questions, trends and stories that we expect to cover in 2026. We broke the discussion up into a few big questions:

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week.

This week, we're discussing the K-shaped economy, a term that has recently come into vogue to describe the sharply diverging fortunes of wealthier Americans and the rest. At the higher end, consumers are still spending as if nothing has changed, but lower-income consumers are cutting back on spending as the cost of living increases nationwide.

This has led brands across the fashion industry to shift their strategies. Some of them are shifting their focus to the high-end consumer, raising prices to extract more from those who are still spending. Others are placing greater emphasis on lower-priced items in their catalogues, such as Nordstrom's recent efforts to make sub-$100 gifts a focus of the holiday season.

This week, we take a look at the competition between Warby Parker and Google's soon-to-launch AI-powered smart glasses and the established competitor, Meta and Ray-Ban. The latter has already sold 2 million units.

We also discuss the appointment of Rosie Huntington-Whitely as the new fashion director of the Revolve-owned retailer FWRD, and the Italian investigation into the Swatch Company and Citizen over allegations surrounding their pricing practices.

Later in the episode (24:49), we are joined by editor-in-chief Jill Manoff to dive deep into what's been going on at Versace in the last year. After the Prada deal to acquire Versace was finalized last week, the fashion industry was shocked by the abrupt ousting of creative director Dario Vitale barely nine months after he joined the brand.

This week, we're talking about the CFDA banning the use of fur in shows on its official New York Fashion Week calendar, following similar decisions by fashion weeks in London, Copenhagen and Berlin. We also discuss the U.K. banning ads from brands like Nike, Superdry and Lacoste over misleading sustainability claims.

Lastly, we discuss the Prada-Versace deal, which officially closed this week, just a day before creative director Dario Vitale departed the company. Vitale served as Versace's creative director for only nine months.

Later in the episode, Zofia is joined by Leanne Elliott Young, CEO of the IoDF, to discuss the growing use of digital passports in the fashion industry. Digital product passports, or DPPs, embed product data into a scannable code that lets both retailers and customers track an item's provenance. The idea is to make authentication easier and keep a record of the chain of possession of an item, particularly a luxury item, over the course of its life.

The E.U. recently passed a regulation requiring all products sold starting in 2027 to have a DPP, forcing brands to start thinking about implementing this feature. The IoDF is consulting with brands to help prepare for that rollout.

How can shoppers, brands and retailers win Black Friday? 

In this week’s special holiday crossover episode, Glossy Beauty Podcast host Lexy Lebsack is joined by Danny Parisi, host of the Glossy Podcast, and Gabi Barkho, host of the Modern Retail podcast, to unpack all things Black Friday. 

The three reporters start by sharing their own experiences and plans for navigating Black Friday as a shopper, then unpack some of the buzziest activations and sales strategies today. This includes both discounting and non-discounting strategies, value-focused sales, bundles and collaborations, among other tactics. The trio also walks through emerging and reemerging trends, like catalogs, gift guides and fragrance-focused experiential events.

This week, we’re talking about a French investigation into the European resale company Vinted, which regulators said hasn’t done enough to prevent minors using its platform from accessing sexual content. We also discuss the U.K. footwear brand Clark’s entering a number of lower-priced marketplaces, including Shein and TikTok Shop. And we talk about some of the interesting sales data from the pre-Black Friday shopping window.

Later in the episode, Zofia and our editor-in-chief, Jill Manoff, are joined by Preston Konrad, founder of the home and fragrance brand Preston Lane, to talk about the biggest holiday trend of the season: Ralph Lauren Christmas.

For months, social media has been awash in what people are calling Ralph Lauren Christmas, an aesthetic that takes 20th-century, New England-flavored inspiration from the design principles of Ralph Lauren for cozy holiday outfits and home decor. The aesthetic isn’t limited to Ralph Lauren — a number of home and fashion brands have showcased the look in their marketing as they try to capitalize on the trend.

Konrad is a former styling director for Ralph Lauren who worked for the brand for over five years. He shared with Jill and Zofia where the trend came from, what’s appealing about it and how other brands can get in on the hype.
