Summer’s New Fragrance Mood Is Salty Skin and Ripe Fruit

Occasionally, we use affiliate links on our site. This in no way affects our editorial decision-making. After a particularly brutal winter, we're welcoming summer (and its accompanying fruit-forward fragrances) with open arms. Zara Larsson's "Midnight Sun" is on repeat, Aperol spritzes are ordered and solar floral scents are back in the spotlight. This season, classic summertime notes — think tropical fruits, salty breezes and all things citrus — are getting an upgrade, with independent fragrance brands leading the charge. "Summer fragrance today is less about traditional 'freshness' and more about emotion, atmosphere and escapism," Givaudan Senior Perfumer Christina Christie tells Fashionista over email. "Consumers want fragrances that feel comforting, radiant, intimate and easy to live in." For those manifesting an oceanfront getaway, mineral scents (or salty, marine-inspired blends) deliver a refreshing burst of seaside bliss, achievi...

Inside Fashion’s 'Niche Cool Girl' Obsession

If you consider yourself a fashion enthusiast, find yourself watching styling videos or save a post featuring an intriguing pair of shorts to look up later, the odds of you coming across “niche cool-girl” style videos are quite likely. Fashion videos promising to expose viewers to “niche,” “underrated,” “cool-girl” brands have flooded the feeds and are gaining traction, particularly across Instagram and TikTok. They speak to a recent evolution away from those fleeting trends that require instant participation before dying at week’s end. Now, people are searching for a visually appealing style that speaks to them and offers a semblance of individuality. It's for that reason that these “niche cool-girl brands” videos tend to do well and catch the eye of the fashion-curious. Mia Jacobs, senior strategist for youth fashion at trend forecasting firm WGSN , believes “we’ve moved past the era of micro-trends and core aesthetics and entered a period of hyper-individuality, where the foc...

How This Luxury Boutique Founder Is Introducing Emerging Labels to Toronto Shoppers

Listen to the full conversation between Kaelen Haworth and Fashionista Staff Writer Catie Pusateri on The Fashionista Network on Spotify. View the original article to see embedded media. Instead of returning home to Toronto after graduating from Parsons School of Design , Kaelen Haworth ended up staying in New York City for another 15 years building her two fashion brands, Kaelen and Second Sight. Haworth always wanted to open her own store ("I'm better at curating and editing than I was at designing, that's just the truth," she confessed), and once she moved back to Toronto in 2023, she decided it was time to jump into retail . Absolutely Fabrics — an independent multi-brand boutique stocking emerging and established labels alike — opened its doors that same year to become a hub for brand discovery. "There's a lot of opportunity here [in Toronto]," Haworth said. "There's a lot of people who are really interested i...

"Today, we are reiterating our confidence in the power of our incredible brands, our talented teams and our strength as a standalone company," Stéphane de La Faverie, president and CEO of The Estée Lauder Cos., said in a statement. { The Estée Lauder Cos. } War in Iran Is Straining Beauty Indies and Conglomerates The war in Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have caused shipping delays as well as rising freight, fuel and oil costs.

The Recent Central Saint Martins Grad Who's Already Designed Custom Pieces for Harry Styles and Paloma Elsesser

While designer Macy Grimshaw was a fashion design graduate student at Central Saint Martins, chances are she wasn't spending her time on school projects. Instead, she was likely toiling away on the sewing machine, creating custom pieces for celebrities like Harry Styles and Paloma Elsesser. (Yes, you read that correctly.) At 25 years old, she is already living a life many designers work years to achieve: She made a custom "Paper Doll" look featured in Styles' "Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally," album art; designed a rose petal dress PinkPantheress wore for an on-stage performance; and landed a feature in Vogue Portugal's September 2024 issue. Most recently, Simone Ashley sported Macy Grimshaw at an event during "The Devil Wears Prada 2" press run.  Macy Grimshaw. Photo: Luca Bass/Courtesy of Macy Grimshaw ...

Phoebe Philo’s Former Wholesale Director Believes an Indie Retail Renaissance Is Coming

With Saks Global filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after failing to pay vendors and Ssense owing millions to its stocked brands amid its own financial troubles last year (to name just a couple recent retail crises), the fashion wholesale landscape may look pretty grim. But from retail veteran Nicholas Parnell's perspective, "wholesale is not dead." "Wholesale is important, but I think what wholesale is becoming, is changing," the founder of new London- and New York-based consultancy Agency Parnell tells Fashionista. Against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions, ongoing tariff turmoil and shifting consumer habits, the fashion industry is in flux. U.S. department stores are now reckoning with their stalled "bulk buying" strategies from the past five-to-10 years, Parnell says, which is paving the way for an updated approach to luxury wholesale. "When things soften, it creates room for new growth," he adds. This April, Parnell opened his c...

Student Designers Just Want to Have Fun at Parsons' 2026 BFA Runway Show

The fashion industry may be grappling with the onslaught of AI and commercialized sameness, but over at Parsons School of Design , the next generation of fashion designers is having fun. Set at Manhattan's The Glasshouse on Sunday afternoon, the Parsons 2026 BFA Graduate Runway Show, entitled "Ensemble," put forth an optimistic vision for fashion's future defined by students' unwavering creativity and appetite for inclusivity. Backstage, student designers shared this positive outlook while discussing their hopes for the future of fashion: "I'd like to see more diverse bodies on the runway, especially when it comes to size inclusivity, and also just fun, fantasy, spectacle, lots of color and print and sparkle," senior BFA student Alexander Flores told Fashionista. Senior BFA student Olivia Colley concurs: "I would love to see a lot more fun with materiality and textiles. I think that's what we're heading towards and I'm really ex...
