What Is Your Definition Of Fashion?

At The Shade, a new nail studio concept from The Tox Founder Courtney Yeager, appointments start with clients laying face-down on a massage table. But that's not the only part of the experience that differs from your standard mani/pedi. The business, which opened its SoHo flagship in June, is on a mission to reimagine the modern nail salon experience. Its method involves a full-scale experience, engulfing visitors in a calming atmosphere featuring private suites and waterless nail treatments (read: no soaking in shared tubs). The Tox's signature lymphatic body sculpting techniques are also integrated into The Shade's manicures and pedicures — hence the initial face-down position — in pursuit of upgrading a traditional gel fill to a self-care reset. "I looked at every pain point in the traditional [nail salon] experience and used it as an opportunity to build something better," Yeager tells Fashionista over email. "The Shade is a place you can actually come...

Just as its beloved barely there skin tints fade in a long-wear scenario, the "no-makeup makeup " era is beginning to dissipate. Although the minimalist beauty trend (defined by bare eyes and glowing skin) went platinum thanks to Hailey Bieber variants, community-based social media platform Reddit observed an 81% year-over-year decline in views to "no-makeup makeup" mentions, according to its first-ever beauty report, titled " The People's Beauty Index ," released this month. With more than 130 million daily active users flocking to Reddit for genuine (read: transparent) product reviews and conversations, the platform's new report tracked the biggest shifts within its beauty-related forums from the past year. Perhaps it's fitting that "no-makeup makeup" is fizzling out as consumers are increasingly reminiscing about 2016-era beauty trends that spotlighted bold cut creases and sculpted faces beaten to the gods. Beauty brands are ...

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, ...

The fashion job market is in a state of flux — and for those fortunate enough to be employed at all in 2026, workplace culture and dynamics are rapidly changing. After years of layoffs, restructuring and shifting consumer habits alongside economic volatility and the rise of AI , workers across the industry are navigating an uncertain landscape.
