After filing for bankruptcy ( for the second time ) in 2025, Claire's is back — and it's courting a new generation of tweens. Although the mall store is nostalgic for millennials , the retailer's refresh isn't about us. Instead, it's aimed at today's 8-to 12-year-olds, a coveted consumer group that's shaping everything from beauty trends to retail strategy. Claire's' North American business is now owned by Maryland-based private holding company, Ames Watson. ( The firm acquired the business and intellectual property in a $140 million deal that closed in September 2025.) Instead of liquidating and closing stores as some expected, Ames Watson committed to keeping more than 900 locations open across the U.S. and Canada with a promise to revamp the 65-year-old brand. Almost a year later, the first store under the new generation of Claire's reopens Aug. 8 inside The Shops at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., a suburb east of Los Angeles. The mall, ...

It turns out the New York Knicks didn't just win the 2026 NBA championship: The team's fan cap also took the top spot as fashion's hottest product in the new Lyst Index Q2 2026 report, unveiled on Wednesday. Demand for the product skyrocketed 4,276% quarter-on-quarter around the team's history-making title win. (Knicks in five!)

When model and hair artist Kayra Theodore walked into her sixth-grade class with bows in her hair, she became the victim of bullying. "I was the only Black kid in the class and all the kids made fun of my hair," she told Fashionista. "They'd say, 'You look like a child,' and 'You look like a dinosaur.' That made me reject my Haitian culture, because [bows] are very prevalent in Haiti. Bows in Haiti represent neatness, order and rules." Kayra Theodore. (Photo: Alizayuh Vigil) So it was only fitting that, for her first hair show, the creative showcased her journey of accepting her hair and embracing her culture. Held at a spacious venue in Brooklyn, the show was fully backed by Meta's Instagram Drafts initiative, which provides financial and creative support to selected emerging creators.
