Can Target's New 'Beauty Studio' Win Back Customers? – Latest Fashion Trends & Style Tips October 23, 2026 at 06:00PM

📰 Can Target's New 'Beauty Studio' Win Back Customers? {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Target has long inspired a particular kind of loyalty. It literally sells its own merch. For many shoppers, the retailer offers more than a place to pick up toilet paper and pet food: It’s where they grab Starbucks and get lost in discovering new beauty brands, finding affordable fashion and seeing both their taste and values reflected on the shelves. But the retailer’s relationship with some of its customers has grown more complicated in recent years, particularly as it has faced backlash over its LGBTQ+ Pride merchandise  — or lack thereof — and, more recently, its decision to scale back several formal diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. In February 2026, Target’s new CEO Michael Fiddelke shared his vision for a fresh start, promising a merchandise makeover that includes a new...

📰 Inside Proenza Schouler's First Los Angeles Store {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: While many fashion brands reside in New York, very few of them feel as quintessentially New York as Proenza Schouler. The “New York woman” has been a focal point for the label from its founding in 2002 by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, to its current era under Creative Director Rachel Scott. And New York City has been home to the brand’s only standalone store, until now. View this post on Instagram In late September, Proenza Schouler opened its first West Coast flagship on Melrose Place, an iconic shopping street in Los Angeles. It boasts a prime location next door to the always-bustling Alfred Coffee (IYKYK), its clean, white custom plaster façade standing out amongst the surrounding ivy-covered brick. Proenza Schouler’s neighbors do include many fellow NYC exports, li...

📰 JT Talks Off-White, Attending Paris Fashion Week and Rejecting Style Rules {% if EntryImageUrl and EntryImageUrl != "" %} {% endif %} ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: American rapper JT knows the exact fashion moment that got her on the radar of luxury houses. It’s too bad she refuses to say what it is. “I’m not telling y’all what it is because I don’t want anybody to steal my sauce,” she playfully tells Fashionista. But for the fun of it, let’s take a guess anyway: Perhaps her defining fashion moment was when she wore Jean Paul Gaultier to the 2023 BET Awards. Or maybe it was the corseted Mirror Palais gown she sported at the 2023 MTV Awards. It could even have been one of JT’s many fashion-forward music videos that got her on the industry’s radar.
