🎙️ Fashion Thursdays with Diane: Louis Vuitton Beauty — Luxury for Who?

In this episode, Diane Gilman asks hard questions about Louis Vuitton’s new luxury beauty line: 55 refillable lipsticks ($160), $250 eyeshadow quads, all designed by legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath and industrial designer Konstantin Grcic. Can a $200 lipstick or a $350 breakfast at LV Café really speak to modern women? Diane explores the “emperor’s new clothes” effect, stealth wealth trends, and why mainstream buyers may pass in favor of affordable, high-performing brands like e.l.f.

You’ll hear:

• All about LV’s La Beauté launch, creative direction by Pat McGrath, and why “luxury for young people” may miss high-spending older shoppers
• Real market numbers: LMVH profits, global luxury slump, and what’s happening with Paris-based brands today
• Why refillable packaging and “status symbol” makeup may matter more than actual innovation
• Honest comparison with everyday brands, from Charlotte Tilbury to e.l.f.
• The shift from flashy luxury to “stealth wealth” in NYC
• How Diane feels about $250 eyeshadow for women 55 and up
•

🎙️ Too Young to Be Old: Fall Fashion Transition – The Colors, The Textures, The Statement Pieces

As summer fades and the shadows grow longer, Diane Gilman is here to break down what really matters when it comes to transitional fall fashion. Think chestnut, pumpkin, cranberry, deep moss green, espresso, and trench coat beige—earthy, saturated colors rooted in nature and meant to be layered.

From chunky artisanal jewelry and boho hero handbags to faux leather bombers, suede boots, block prints, and animal print accents, Diane reveals how to pair simplicity in silhouette with bold, rich color. This episode is a masterclass in turning late summer freshness into fall fashion statement-making with layering, statement accessories, and timeless hero pieces.

In This Episode

• Why saturated natural colors define this fall’s look — pumpkin, cranberry, espresso, moss green
• The return of boho, artisanal craftsmanship, and small-batch‑inspired detailing
• What “hero pieces” (bags, shoes, jewelry) can instantly transform an outfit
• Layering tips with bombers, cardigans, maxi dresses, and suede footwear
• Jewelry that makes the outfit: chunky wood, hammered gold, natural ivory, oversized artisanal statements
• Animal print enduring as a forever staple — leopard, zebra, snake, in fresh new interpretations
• Why now’s the perfect time to start layering and building transitional outfits from wardrobe basics

Diane Gilman is celebrating her 80th birthday — and she’s not holding back. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Diane reflects on what it means to grow older without growing old in spirit. She shares lessons learned from surviving stage 3 breast cancer, the importance of gratitude and forgiveness, and why turning 80 is not the end, but a brand new chapter.

From life’s wake‑up calls to reinventing herself again and again, Diane proves that aging is not about fading away — it is about shining brighter, living with purpose, and leaving a legacy.

If you’ve ever feared growing “too old,” this episode will flip that on its head.

• Why “80 is the New 80” and why Diane embraces her white hair unapologetically
• The real perspective shift that came from surviving cancer
• Her two lifelong lessons: gratitude and forgiveness
• Aging in industries obsessed with youth (fashion and TV) and why relevance is self‑defined
• Choosing purpose and joy over bitterness and invisibility
• The secret to living with intensity, appreciation, and renewed energy in later decades
• Advice for anyone at 40, 50, 60+ who fears aging: craft a life that’s yours, not theirs

Diane Gilman chats with social media favorite Dawn Pfingsten, who has built a loyal following by testing new products, finding affordable dupes, and showing women how to look their best without splurging on luxury beauty.

• Foundations like Maybelline Superstay Skin Tint and Revolution Luminous Silk that deliver amazing results for under $15
• Getting medium, radiant coverage that works for both oily and dry skin
• The power of makeup primer and setting spray for all‑day wear — including surprising finds like Milani Make It Last
• Mascara tips for thinning lashes, from tubing mascaras and lash serums to faux and magnetic options
• Cheek color, lip color, and eyeshadow palettes that flatter without aging you — and how to make your brows look naturally full
• Easy, high‑low beauty strategies that mix affordable favorites with your splurge items
•
