What Is Your Definition Of Fashion?

These are the stories making headlines in fashion on Tuesday. POV Beauty Raises Series A POV Beauty, the skin prep brand co-founded by social media creator Mikayla Nogueira and beauty executive Ani Hadjinian, has raised a Series A round led by Silas Capital. Redo Capital joined the round, as did Imaginary Ventures, which backed the company before it launched in 2025. The company said it will put the money toward growth at Sephora, where it recently rolled out in all U.S. stores and online, as well as hiring, TikTok Shop sales and new products that blend skin care and makeup. { PR Newswire } Vinted Pulls Listings Tied to Looting in France Secondhand marketplace Vinted said it is removing listings suspected of containing looted goods after riots swept France over the weekend. Social media posts appear to show luxury shops such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Celine being ransacked, while Sephora said protesters broke into several of its locations; Vinted is now actively coll...

While some designers study structured tailoring or intricate draping techniques, Talia Abbe taps into inflatable pool float technology. Abbe’s New York City-based namesake label T’Abbe is known for its made-to-order bubble dresses, colorful blow-up designs that come with their own miniature inflators. (Think “Bubble Boy,” but make it high fashion.) However, T’Abbe’s signature balloon-like designs represent more than just a cheerful experiment; they’re physical manifestations of Abbe’s mental health struggle. “I wanted to be able to give other people a voice and for them to know that they’re not the only people who felt [depressed],” Abbe tells Fashionista. “No one really talks about it or how brutal it is to actually feel alone and anxious all the time and confined, and so I wanted to make a space where people felt like they could talk about it.” Talia Abbe (right) at T’Abbe...

Not even an hour after Calvin Klein confirmed Veronica Leoni’s exit , comes news of another major designer departure: On Thursday, Alexander McQueen announced that Seán McGirr is leaving his creative director position. The House will announce its new creative leadership “soon,” according to the press release. “My vision for Alexander McQueen was grounded in the interplay between raw, visceral, human beauty and the precision and rigor at the heart of the House,” McGirr said in a press statement. “I am incredibly proud of the progressive energy we cultivated as a team, anchoring our creativity in contemporary culture, and seeing it resonate with the most forthright, expressive figures across art, music, cinema and more. I leave with profound gratitude for the dedication of the studio and atelier, and craftspeople. I look forward to my next chapter and wish the House every success.” The Dublin-born designer joined the Kering-own...

Welcome to our series “ Buzzy Beauty Ingredient of the Moment ,” the premise of which is pretty self-explanatory: In each installment, we’ll explore an ingredient that’s currently trending in the industry, springing up in a variety of different products lining the beauty aisle. We’ll consult experts to find out about the science behind it — and why it’s having a major moment right now. Step aside, “anti-aging” — “longevity” has come for the beauty industry. In recent years, consumers have increasingly prioritized healthy aging over age prevention . In response, beauty brands are adding NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) to their formulations. The molecule is found in every cell in the body. It supplies cellular energy, which then boosts functions like DNA repair and skin barrier strengthening.  NAD+ products have most popularly been used in the wellness space through supplements an...

Between Korea’s powerhouse beauty retailer Olive Young partnering with Sephora and Korean department store Shinsegae unveiling its three-month Hyper Ground pop-up in New York City, the stateside K-beauty boom is showing no signs of slowing down. In the race to tap into the U.S. market’s seemingly insatiable appetite for all things K-beauty, some Korean brands are enlisting Muskat Beauty Inc. — a Los Angeles-based K-beauty curator and distributor founded in 2025 — to help place them on major retail players’ radars. While it may feel like a new K-beauty brand finds a home on an American beauty retailer’s shelves every day, there’s a calculated playbook behind this global expansion. After all, brands cannot merely copy-and-paste their Korea-specific retail strategies onto the U.S. market. This is where Muskat comes in: Founder Daniella Jung and her team of 25 employees mastermind K-beauty brands’ go-to-market strategies across...

We’re building a brand at the intersection of performance apparel, fashion and outdoor culture: clothing designed to function outside without looking like conventional outdoor gear, and that inspires people to live colorfully.

It’s officially spooky season, so even though it was 90 degrees in Los Angeles Thursday night, model Vivian Jenna Wilson joined her friends, fellow influencers and select media at the weird and whimsical Petit Ermitage Hotel in West Hollywood, dressed for the fall season. Guests ignored the steamy temperature and wore black layers with boots and tights to showcase Awe Inspired’s new Nocturne jewelry collection , and the campaign fronted by Wilson. The celebration marked the brand’s final “chapter” in this collection: The Gorgon, inspired by Medusa and the power of the female gaze. In between tarot readings and a spooky candlelit ceremony, we chatted with Wilson about her style icons (she’d steal the late drag queen Divine’s wardrobe if given the chance), jewelry preferences, what it was like to wear a real snake for the campaign photos and more.

Paris Fashion Week is the longest and, some might argue, most important of the biannual ready-to-wear circuit. With nine days of shows, the schedule is packed with couture houses, veteran designers, buzzy newcomers, indie favorites and everyone in between. It’s a lot of clothes — it may be easier to identify the trends that didn’t show up on the French runways this Spring 2027 season. Instead, we picked out 10 that felt so fresh, or were so ubiquitous, that we felt they couldn’t be ignored: texture play via 3-D embellishments, netting and crinkled fabrics, cool takes on classic button-downs and rain jackets, revealing designs that put your abs on full display and more. Browse them all in the galleries below. Petal Pushers When it comes time to design for spring, designers must decide whether they'll eschew florals altogether or attempt to deliver them in a way that feels fresh.
